Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2017208 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the CLIPLINE UHK series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the same connector system.
• Type: Feed-through configuration must be maintained.
• Terminal Width: 6.2 mm terminal width ensures physical fit and contact compatibility.
• Termination Style: Tab termination must be preserved for consistent connection methodology.
• Color: Gray color indicates standard industrial specification matching.
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-2 rating must be maintained for safety compliance.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and ECCN classifications must be equivalent or superior.

The substitute part 2017224 shares the same series, type, terminal width, termination style, color, and flammability rating, establishing it as a valid alternative within the CLIPLINE UHK product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2017224 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2017208 model. Both components maintain identical mechanical specifications (terminal width, termination style, color) and equivalent electrical performance at the IEC rating level (40 A). The 2017224 offers enhanced voltage capability (800 V IEC versus 400 V), providing superior performance margin in applications where the original 400 V rating was specified.

The 2017224 holds active product status with current manufacturing availability, ensuring supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain UL94 V-2 flammability compliance and equivalent regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.8000). The 2017224 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2017224 directly replace the 2017208 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (6.2 mm terminal width, tab termination) and belong to the same CLIPLINE UHK series. The 2017224 maintains the 40 A IEC current rating and UL94 V-2 flammability classification of the original part.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 2017224 provides higher voltage rating (800 V IEC) compared to the 2017208 (400 V IEC). This represents an enhancement rather than a limitation, as the substitute accommodates higher voltage applications while maintaining compatibility with lower voltage designs.

Q: Why is the 2017208 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation. The 2017224 serves as the active replacement within the CLIPLINE UHK series, offering equivalent mechanical compatibility and improved electrical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2017208 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 2017224 is available in bulk packaging. This reflects current distribution practices for active products.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications. The 2017224 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards.
