Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2280051 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical voltage rating (60V), current rating per contact (1 A), and wire gauge range (12-24 AWG)
• Mechanical Interface: Matching 26-position configuration with screw connection on process side and rectangular male connector on control side
• Connector Features: Identical latch-type cable retainer on control side
• Environmental Specifications: Matching operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 50°C)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance maintained

The Phoenix Contact 2315052 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the VARIOFACE series, providing functional and electrical equivalence to the obsolete 2280051.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315052 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 2280051. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, connector configurations, and environmental operating parameters. The 2315052 is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 2315052 provides enhanced regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification, representing a more current compliance standard than the original RoHS designation of the 2280051. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status.

Physical dimensions differ between the two models; the 2315052 is shorter in length (57.10mm versus 75.49mm) but wider (69.01mm versus 50.00mm). These dimensional variations reflect design evolution within the VARIOFACE series but do not affect electrical or functional compatibility in applications where the 26-position screw-to-rectangular male interface is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315052 directly replace the 2280051 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (60V, 1 A per contact), wire gauge compatibility (12-24 AWG), connector type (26-position rectangular male), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 50°C). Functional substitution is direct.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 2280051?

A: The 2280051 is classified as obsolete. The 2315052 is an active product within the same VARIOFACE series, providing continued supply availability and support.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The 2315052 has different physical dimensions than the 2280051 (length: 57.10mm versus 75.49mm; width: 69.01mm versus 50.00mm). Mechanical fit within the application enclosure or mounting structure must be verified based on specific installation requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 2280051 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The 2315052 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, representing current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the difference between the FLK and VIP series designations?

A: Both designations indicate variants within the Phoenix Contact VARIOFACE product family. The FLK series (2280051) is obsolete, while the VIP series (2315052) is active. The electrical and functional specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any features or test connector capabilities that differ between these parts?

A: The 2280051 includes test connectors as a listed feature. The 2315052 does not list this feature in the provided specifications. Application requirements for test connector functionality must be evaluated independently.
