Phoenix Contact 1714908 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1714908 is a 40-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for ribbon cable applications. This connector features a 1.27mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and gold-plated contacts. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1714908 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

  • Connector geometry: 40-position, dual-row configuration with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing
  • Termination method: IDC technology for ribbon cable attachment
  • Contact configuration: Female socket receptacle type with latch lock fastening
  • Mounting form factor: Free hanging in-line orientation
  • Electrical interface: Compatibility with standard 0.050" pitch ribbon cable systems

The HARTING 15290402502000 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all geometric, termination, and functional parameters. Differences in wire gauge specification (30 AWG), contact finish material, and product status do not preclude substitution when the connector interface requirements are identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HARTING 15290402502000 serves as the primary equivalent for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1714908 based on complete geometric and functional compatibility. Both connectors meet identical interface requirements for 40-position, 1.27mm pitch ribbon cable systems with IDC termination.

The HARTING part offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and availability (833 units in stock). Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility in equivalent applications.

The HARTING har-flex® series connector includes integrated strain relief and feed-through features, providing enhanced mechanical robustness compared to the base Phoenix Contact design. Wire gauge specification (30 AWG) on the HARTING part aligns with standard ribbon cable gauges for this connector class.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, lead time considerations, and any existing design documentation specifying the Phoenix Contact series. Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is assured when substituting the HARTING part in applications originally designed for the Phoenix Contact 1714908.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 15290402502000 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1714908 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (1.27mm), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and IDC termination method. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the Phoenix Contact part being obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The HARTING equivalent remains in active production with current inventory availability, making it the practical choice for new procurement and system maintenance.

Q: Does the wire gauge difference (30 AWG on HARTING) affect compatibility?

A: Wire gauge specification reflects the recommended conductor size for the IDC termination process. Standard ribbon cable for 1.27mm pitch connectors typically uses 28-30 AWG conductors. The HARTING specification aligns with industry standard practice for this connector class and does not affect mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1714908 is RoHS Compliant. The HARTING 15290402502000 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more recent regulatory standard. Both parts meet current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging format is available for the HARTING substitute?

A: The HARTING 15290402502000 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling in production environments.
