Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 2315191

The 2315191 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 2283663. Both components share identical interface specifications: 37-position screw terminal blocks with D-Sub female connectors, jackscrew retention, and 12-24 AWG wire gauge support.

Key Considerations:

The 2315191 is classified as active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. It meets ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The substitute operates within the identical temperature range (-20°C ~ 50°C).

Current Rating Differential:

The 2283663 is rated at 2.5 A per contact, while the 2315191 is rated at 2 A per contact. Applications requiring current levels between 2 A and 2.5 A per contact must evaluate whether the lower rating of the substitute is acceptable for the specific circuit requirements. Applications operating at or below 2 A per contact experience no functional limitation.

Compliance Status:

Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 2315191 carries REACH Affected status, indicating it is subject to REACH regulatory requirements, whereas the 2283663 is REACH Unaffected. This distinction is relevant for supply chain documentation in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315191 directly replace the 2283663 in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications operating at 2 A or below per contact. Both components feature identical 37-position screw terminal interfaces, D-Sub female connectors, jackscrew retention, and 12-24 AWG wire gauge compatibility. The primary difference is the current rating: 2315191 is rated at 2 A per contact versus 2.5 A for the 2283663. Verify your application's per-contact current requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these parts?

A: The 2283663 measures 3.780" × 2.031" (96.01mm × 51.59mm), while the 2315191 measures 2.862" × 2.717" (72.69mm × 69.01mm). The substitute is shorter in length but wider. Verify that the 2315191's footprint is compatible with your panel or enclosure layout before installation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. The 2283663 is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the 2315191 is packaged in boxes. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and logistics processes.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify the Phoenix Contact 2315191 for new designs. It is active production status, meets current RoHS3 compliance standards, and provides assured long-term availability. The 2283663 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage applications?

A: Yes. Both are rated for 125V operation and are suitable for identical voltage applications within industrial control environments.
