Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1716470 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 10 positions at 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Electrical ratings: Voltage (300V UL) and current (41A UL) specifications must be maintained to preserve circuit protection and safety margins.
• Physical dimensions: Width (4.363"), panel thickness tolerance (0.039 ~ 0.118"), and panel mount type (2 Piece, Snap Lock - Front Flange) must remain consistent for proper panel integration.
• Connection type: Front panel male pin header configuration and color (green) must be preserved for system compatibility.
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status must be maintained for regulatory alignment.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute relates to rear panel wire connection orientation: the 1716470 features straight PCB pins, while substitute part 1727773 uses right-angle PCB pins. This difference affects PCB layout requirements but does not alter electrical performance or front-side functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1727773 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1716470, with both parts meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1727773 is the preferred selection for new designs and replacement applications due to its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The substitution is valid across all applications where the 1716470 was originally specified, provided that PCB layout accommodates the right-angle rear pin configuration of the 1727773. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical electrical ratings (300V, 41A), supporting seamless integration into existing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1727773 directly replace the 1716470 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 1727773 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary design consideration is the rear pin orientation: the 1727773 uses right-angle pins versus the straight pins of the 1716470. PCB layout must be verified to accommodate this difference.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated at 300V UL and 41A UL, with identical pitch (0.300"), position count (10), and panel mount specifications.

Q: Why is the 1716470 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1716470 belongs to the COMBICON DFK-PCV series, which has been superseded by the active DFK-PC series represented by the 1727773. Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series.

Q: Do both parts support the same mating connectors?

A: Both parts feature identical front-side male pin headers with 0.300" pitch and 10 positions, ensuring compatibility with the same mating connector designs.

Q: Is RoHS compliance maintained in the substitute part?

A: Yes. Both the 1716470 and 1727773 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the impact of the right-angle versus straight rear pin configuration?

A: The rear pin orientation affects PCB layout and component placement. Right-angle pins (1727773) extend perpendicular to the PCB surface, while straight pins (1716470) extend parallel. PCB design must accommodate the selected pin configuration.
