Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2281607 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions / Poles: 60
• Process Side Connection: Terminal Blocks - Screw Connection
• Control Side Connection: Rectangular, Male
• Wire Gauge: 12-24 AWG
• Voltage - Rated: 60V or higher
• Current Rating (Per Contact): 1 A or higher
• Control Side Cable Retainer: Latches
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2315094 meets all mandatory parameters. While dimensional differences exist (length and width variations), the electrical and functional specifications remain compatible for direct substitution in applications where the 2281607 was originally specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315094 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 2281607 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings (60V), current capacity (1A per contact), and wire gauge specifications (12-24 AWG), ensuring functional equivalence in electrical applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature 60-position screw-connection terminal blocks with rectangular male control-side connectors and latch-type cable retainers, confirming mechanical interchangeability.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements.

Product Status Advantage: The 2315094 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 2281607 is classified as Obsolete.

Dimensional Consideration: The 2315094 exhibits reduced length (108.00mm vs. 112.50mm) and width (69.01mm vs. 76.99mm). Physical space constraints within the target application must be evaluated to confirm dimensional acceptability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315094 directly replace the 2281607 in existing applications?

A: Yes, the 2315094 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 2281607 across all critical parameters: 60-position configuration, screw-connection terminal blocks, rectangular male connectors, 12-24 AWG wire gauge support, 60V rating, and 1A per-contact current capacity. Physical space availability must be confirmed due to dimensional differences.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (2281607 is Obsolete; 2315094 is Active) and physical dimensions (2315094 is slightly smaller in both length and width). All electrical and functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS Compliant with identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000).

Q: What should be verified before implementing the 2315094 as a substitute?

A: Confirm that the reduced dimensions of the 2315094 (108.00mm length, 69.01mm width) fit within the available physical space of the application. All electrical and connection specifications are directly compatible.

Q: Why is the 2281607 listed as Obsolete?

A: The 2281607 belongs to the VARIOFACE FLKMS series, which has been superseded by the VARIOFACE VIP series (represented by the 2315094). The 2315094 is the active production equivalent.
