Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1714910 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 68 positions at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing
• Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) for ribbon cable
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts for electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Mechanical Interface: Free hanging in-line mounting with latch lock fastening

The HARTING 15290682502000 meets all substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector interface, enabling direct substitution in applications where the Phoenix Contact 1714910 was originally specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HARTING 15290682502000 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1714910. Selection rationale is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The Phoenix Contact 1714910 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The HARTING 15290682502000 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (805 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Regulatory Compliance: Both connectors meet RoHS requirements. The HARTING part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory standards. The HARTING part also carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, fastening mechanism, and cable termination method. This ensures direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Additional Features: The HARTING 15290682502000 includes feed-through and strain relief features, providing enhanced mechanical robustness compared to the base Phoenix Contact specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 15290682502000 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1714910 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector interface, including 68 positions, 1.27mm pitch, dual-row configuration, IDC termination, and latch lock fastening. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the Phoenix Contact 1714910 being classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. This creates supply chain constraints for new procurement and long-term availability. The HARTING 15290682502000, with active product status, provides a sustainable alternative for both replacement and new design applications.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge specifications between these connectors?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1714910 does not specify wire gauge in the provided documentation. The HARTING 15290682502000 is rated for 30 AWG ribbon cable. Verify that your ribbon cable gauge is compatible with the HARTING connector specifications before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both represent RoHS compliance. ROHS3 refers to the current version of the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU as amended). Both connectors meet hazardous substance restrictions; ROHS3 indicates the HARTING part meets the most current regulatory requirements.

Q: Do the additional features (feed-through, strain relief) on the HARTING connector affect compatibility?

A: No. Feed-through and strain relief are supplementary mechanical features that enhance connector robustness. They do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability with the Phoenix Contact 1714910 interface.

Q: What is MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) and why does it differ between these parts?

A: MSL indicates moisture sensitivity for storage and handling. The Phoenix Contact 1714910 has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life without moisture control). The HARTING 15290682502000 lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating the part does not require moisture-sensitive handling protocols. This represents an advantage for storage and logistics.
