Phoenix Contact 1727896 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1727896 is an 11-position terminal block header with male pins in green, part of the COMBICON DFK-PC series. This component features PCB pins with right-angle configuration and is designed for panel mounting applications with a 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1727676 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1727896 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical 11-position configuration with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch
• Matching electrical specifications: 300 V UL voltage and 41 A UL current ratings
• Identical mechanical dimensions: 4.304" (109.32mm) width and 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm) panel thickness range
• Same connector type: Header with male pins, PCB pins with right-angle configuration
• Identical color specification: Green
• Matching series designation: COMBICON DFK-PC
• Equivalent compliance: RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: the 1727896 is obsolete while the 1727676 is active. The 1727676 includes a front flange feature in its panel mount type specification, which represents a design enhancement rather than a functional incompatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1727676 is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with the 1727896. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 1727676 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and availability, addressing the obsolescence of the original part number.

Both components carry RoHS Compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and storage requirements. The front flange feature on the 1727676 provides enhanced mechanical stability during panel mounting operations and does not introduce any functional incompatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1727676 be used as a direct replacement for the 1727896 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1727676 maintains identical electrical ratings (300 V, 41 A), mechanical dimensions (4.304" width, 0.300" pitch), and connector configuration (11-position header with male pins and right-angle PCB pins). All critical substitution parameters are matched.

Q: What is the difference between the panel mount types listed for each part?

A: The 1727896 specifies "2 Piece, Snap Lock" while the 1727676 specifies "2 Piece, Snap Lock - Front Flange." The front flange on the 1727676 provides additional mechanical support during panel installation. This enhancement does not affect electrical performance or basic mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are RoHS Compliant with identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: Why is the 1727896 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1727896 has been superseded by the 1727676 in the Phoenix Contact product line. The 1727676 represents the current active offering within the COMBICON DFK-PC series for this configuration.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1727676?

A: The 1727676 is available in Bulk packaging, compared to the unspecified packaging of the 1727896. Bulk packaging is standard for terminal block components and does not affect component functionality or performance.
