Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact PT 2,5/ 2-PVH-5,0 BD:17,18 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 2-position plug with female sockets
• Pitch Specification: 0.197" (5.00mm) center-to-center spacing
• Wire Entry Orientation: 180° free-hanging in-line configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Current capacity (minimum 10A UL or 14.6A IEC) and voltage rating (300V)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12-26 AWG (0.5-4mm²) wire sizes
• Termination Method: Screw-based connection mechanism
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The Würth Elektronik 691385700002 satisfies all substitution criteria within the allowed parameter set for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 691385700002 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact PT 2,5/ 2-PVH-5,0 BD:17,18. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The Phoenix Contact part is obsolete, while the Würth Elektronik alternative maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The Würth Elektronik part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing current regulatory alignment.

Electrical Performance: The Würth Elektronik substitute exceeds the original part's electrical ratings (16A IEC vs. 14.6A IEC; 14A UL vs. 10A UL) while maintaining the 300V voltage specification. This provides enhanced current capacity within the same voltage envelope.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), connector type (2-position female socket plug), wire entry orientation (180°), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line). These parameters ensure direct mechanical interchangeability.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The Würth Elektronik part supports 12-24 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²), which covers the majority of the original specification range. Applications requiring 26 AWG or wire cross-sections above 2.5mm² require evaluation against the substitute's stated limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 691385700002 directly replace the Phoenix Contact PT 2,5/ 2-PVH-5,0 BD:17,18?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), connector configuration (2-position female socket plug), wire entry angle (180°), and mounting type (free-hanging in-line). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed within the stated parameter ranges.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility difference between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact part supports 12-26 AWG (0.5-4mm²), while the Würth Elektronik substitute supports 12-24 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²). The substitute covers the most common wire gauges. Applications using 26 AWG or wire cross-sections exceeding 2.5mm² must be evaluated separately.

Q: Are the electrical ratings compatible?

A: Yes. The Würth Elektronik substitute provides higher current ratings (16A IEC, 14A UL) compared to the original (14.6A IEC, 10A UL), while maintaining the same 300V voltage specification. This represents improved electrical capacity.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact part is supplied without specified packaging, while the Würth Elektronik substitute is packaged in trays. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the Phoenix Contact part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The Würth Elektronik alternative maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability for replacement and new applications.
