Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2280077 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions / Poles: Must be 10 positions to maintain connector compatibility
• Process Side Connection: Must be terminal blocks with screw connection for field wiring compatibility
• Control Side Connection: Must be rectangular male connector to match mating interface
• Wire Gauge Support: Must support 12-24 AWG range for existing cable compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Must be rated for minimum 60VDC operation
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 1 A per contact
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -20°C to 50°C
• Control Side Cable Retainer: Must feature latches for secure connection

The Phoenix Contact 2315010 meets all these substitution criteria while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315010 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 2280077. Both components share identical electrical specifications (60V rating, 1 A per contact), mechanical interface requirements (10-position screw terminal to rectangular male connector), and operating parameters (-20°C to 50°C temperature range, 12-24 AWG wire support).

The 2315010 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance certifications, with the 2315010 meeting ROHS3 standards. The primary difference lies in physical dimensions and series designation (VIP versus FLK), which do not affect electrical or functional compatibility when used as a direct replacement in existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315010 directly replace the 2280077 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical electrical ratings (60V, 1 A per contact), support the same wire gauge range (12-24 AWG), and provide equivalent screw terminal to rectangular male connector interfaces with latch-type cable retainers. The 10-position configuration and operating temperature range (-20°C to 50°C) are identical.

Q: What are the physical differences between these parts?

A: The 2280077 measures 2.362" length × 1.969" width, while the 2315010 measures 1.366" length × 2.579" width. These dimensional differences reflect different series designs (FLK versus VIP) but do not affect electrical compatibility or functional performance.

Q: Why is the 2280077 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2280077 belongs to the FLK series, which has been superseded by the VARIOFACE VIP series represented by the 2315010. The newer VIP series maintains full functional equivalence while offering improved availability and ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 2315010 specifically meets ROHS3 standards, representing current regulatory compliance. Both maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) ratings.

Q: What is the primary reason to select the 2315010 over the 2280077?

A: The 2315010 is an active product with current manufacturing and supply chain support, whereas the 2280077 is obsolete. For new designs or system replacements, the 2315010 ensures long-term availability and eliminates obsolescence risk.
