Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1824573 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 24-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Receptacle type with female socket contacts
• Screw termination method
• Board mount orientation
• Electrical ratings: 12A IEC / 10A UL and 630V IEC / 300V UL
• Wire gauge compatibility: 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²)
• M3 screw specification with 0.5-0.6 Nm torque range
• Polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance and MSL 1 classification

The Phoenix Contact 1824340 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications while differing only in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1824340 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1824573 model. Both components maintain identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical dimensions, and material certifications. The 1824340 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

The 1824340 includes retention latches as an additional feature not present in the 1824573. This enhancement provides improved mechanical stability during mating operations without affecting electrical or thermal performance characteristics.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, supporting applications requiring regulatory compliance in industrial control and power distribution systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1824340 be used as a direct replacement for the 1824573?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (12A IEC / 10A UL), voltage specifications (630V IEC / 300V UL), wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG), screw termination parameters (M3, 0.5-0.6 Nm), and material certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS compliant). The 1824340 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the retention latches feature on the 1824340?

A: Retention latches provide mechanical locking during mating operations. This feature does not alter electrical performance or thermal ratings and is compatible with standard connector pin configurations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1824573 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1824340 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and performance characteristics.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge range?

A: Yes. Both the 1824573 and 1824340 accept wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) with identical screw torque specifications of 0.5-0.6 Nm.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The 1824573 is obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 1824340 maintains active status, ensuring continued manufacturing, availability, and technical support for new designs and replacement applications.
