Phoenix Contact 2283647 - 50 Position Interface Module Terminal Block

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2283647 is a 50-position interface module terminal block designed for screw connection to D-Sub male connectors. This component provides electrical interface functionality between process-side terminal blocks and control-side D-Sub connectors with jackscrew socket retention. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2283647 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions / Poles: Must equal 50 positions to maintain connector compatibility
• Process Side Connection: Must be Terminal Blocks - Screw Connection for mechanical fit
• Control Side Connection: Must be D-Sub, Male to interface with existing D-Sub receptacles
• Control Side Cable Retainer: Must be Jackscrew Socket for retention mechanism compatibility
• Wire Gauge: Must support 12-24 AWG range for conductor compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 125VAC requirement
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 2.5 A per contact for electrical load requirements

The Phoenix Contact 2315159 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the VARIOFACE series, providing functional equivalence with updated compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315159 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2283647. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical connector architecture with 50-position D-Sub male interface and screw-terminal process-side connection, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Compliance Status: The 2315159 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing current regulatory alignment. The original 2283647 is RoHS compliant but obsolete, limiting availability and support.

Electrical Parameters: The 2315159 maintains the required 125V voltage rating and -20°C to 50°C operating temperature range. The current rating of 2 A per contact on the substitute is lower than the original 2.5 A specification; applications requiring the full 2.5 A per contact must be evaluated against actual load requirements.

Physical Dimensions: The 2315159 exhibits increased length (98.20mm versus 86.00mm) and slightly reduced width (69.01mm versus 70.99mm). Mechanical clearance verification is required for space-constrained installations.

Series Evolution: The transition from VARIOFACE FLK to VARIOFACE VIP series reflects product line modernization while maintaining core interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315159 directly replace the 2283647 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is maintained. Verification of the reduced current rating (2 A versus 2.5 A per contact) against actual circuit requirements is necessary. Physical dimensions differ; clearance confirmation is required before installation.

Q: What is the significance of the series change from FLK to VIP?

A: Both series are part of the VARIOFACE product family and maintain identical connector specifications for 50-position D-Sub male interface modules. The VIP series represents the current product line with updated compliance certifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 2283647 is RoHS compliant; the 2315159 is ROHS3 compliant, representing updated regulatory standards. Both parts maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS coding.

Q: What packaging is provided for the 2315159?

A: The 2315159 is supplied in box packaging, compared to the unspecified packaging of the obsolete 2283647.

Q: How do the physical dimensions affect installation?

A: The 2315159 is 12mm longer and approximately 1mm narrower than the original part. Dimensional verification against available mounting space and connector clearances is required before procurement.

Q: Is the 2 A current rating sufficient for my application?

A: Applications currently operating at or near the 2.5 A per contact limit of the original part must be evaluated against the 2 A specification of the substitute. Load analysis is necessary to confirm compatibility.
