Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1730706 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 11 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Electrical Ratings: 10A current and 300V voltage capacity
• Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp with M3 thread
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 12-30 AWG acceptance range
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole PCB mounting with horizontal board orientation
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA) nylon construction
• Mechanical Torque Specification: 0.5-0.6 Nm screw torque range

The substitute part 1730489 maintains full equivalence across all these parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1730489 is a direct functional equivalent to the 1730706 across all electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 1730706 is obsolete while the 1730489 maintains active production status. Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements, with the 1730489 carrying current RoHS certification and the 1730706 certified to ROHS3 specifications. Both maintain MSL Level 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage and handling.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and long-term availability planning. The 1730489 is recommended for new designs and ongoing production due to its active status and equivalent inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1730489 be used as a direct replacement for the 1730706 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (11), mounting type (through-hole), electrical ratings (10A/300V), and termination method (M3 screw rising cage clamp). PCB footprints and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between the COMBICON EMKDS and COMBICON MKDS series designations?

A: Series designation reflects product line evolution within Phoenix Contact's COMBICON terminal block family. The MKDS series (1730489) represents the current production line, while EMKDS (1730706) is the legacy series. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1730706 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1730489 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are new original stock with equivalent component specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating. The 1730706 holds ROHS3 certification while the 1730489 carries current RoHS certification. Both are EAR99 classified and REACH unaffected.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both terminal blocks?

A: Both the 1730706 and 1730489 accept wire gauges from 12 AWG to 30 AWG, with screw termination torque specification of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) for both parts.
