Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1725724 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• 9-position configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole mounting type
• Screw-based wire termination
• M1.6 screw thread specification

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating equal to or greater than 6 A
• Voltage rating equal to or greater than 125 V
• Wire gauge range compatibility (minimum 30 AWG support required)
• Green housing color for visual identification consistency
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 282834-9 meets all primary matching criteria and exceeds secondary electrical specifications, making it a valid substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1725724.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1725724 is the primary specification component and remains the preferred choice for new designs and existing applications where supply is available. The part is RoHS3 compliant, REACH affected, and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

TE Connectivity 282834-9 serves as a direct substitute when Phoenix Contact 1725724 is unavailable. This part exceeds the electrical specifications of the original component with higher current (10 A vs. 6 A) and voltage (150 V vs. 125 V) ratings. The TE Connectivity part features a rising cage clamp termination mechanism in addition to screw termination, enhanced polyamide PA66 housing material, and a defined operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and screw thread specifications. Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH affected, with matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute part is available in higher inventory (1615 units) and maintains compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the Phoenix Contact 1725724.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 282834-9 be used as a direct replacement for Phoenix Contact 1725724 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), 9-position configuration, horizontal board orientation, through-hole mounting, and M1.6 screw thread. The TE Connectivity part exceeds the electrical ratings of the original specification and is mechanically and electrically compatible with PCB layouts designed for the Phoenix Contact 1725724.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal blocks?

A: The TE Connectivity 282834-9 provides higher current capacity (10 A vs. 6 A), higher voltage rating (150 V vs. 125 V), broader wire gauge support (16-30 AWG vs. 20-30 AWG), and a defined operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). The TE part also features a rising cage clamp termination mechanism alongside screw termination. Housing material differs slightly (PA66 vs. PA), though both are polyamide-based nylon compounds.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. The Phoenix Contact 1725724 carries RoHS3 certification, while the TE Connectivity 282834-9 carries standard RoHS certification. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for each part?

A: Phoenix Contact 1725724 specifies 0.12-0.15 Nm (1.0-1.3 Lb-In) torque. TE Connectivity 282834-9 specifies 0.2 Nm (1.7 Lb-In) torque. These differences reflect the enhanced mechanical design of the TE part.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1725724 and TE Connectivity 282834-9 are supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by each terminal block?

A: Phoenix Contact 1725724 supports 20-30 AWG wire. TE Connectivity 282834-9 supports 16-30 AWG wire, providing compatibility with a broader range of conductor sizes.
