Phoenix Contact 2283676 - 50 Position Interface Module Terminal Block

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2283676 is a 50-position interface module terminal block designed for screw connection to D-Sub female connectors. This component provides the process-side connection interface for applications requiring 12-24 AWG wire termination with rated voltage of 125VAC and 2.5A per-contact current capacity.

The 2283676 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new installations where this interface module specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2283676 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Position Count: 50 positions required
• Process Side Connection: Terminal blocks with screw connection
• Control Side Connection: D-Sub female connector interface
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 12-24 AWG
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 125V
• Current Rating: Minimum 2.0A per contact
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 50°C minimum
• Connector Type: D-Sub female with jackscrew socket

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2315201 meets these core substitution criteria while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315201 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 2283676 based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters.

Selection Criteria:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 50-position D-Sub female interface with 12-24 AWG screw terminal connection. Voltage ratings are equivalent at 125V. The 2315201 has a 0.5A lower per-contact current rating (2.0A vs 2.5A); applications operating at or below 2.0A per contact are fully compatible.

• Mechanical Compatibility: Physical dimensions differ slightly. The 2315201 is 12mm longer (98.20mm vs 86.00mm) and 1.98mm narrower. Verify available mounting space in the installation environment.

• Product Status and Compliance: The 2315201 is actively manufactured, ensuring long-term availability. Both parts are RoHS compliant; the 2315201 meets the current ROHS3 standard. The 2315201 is REACH-affected, requiring compliance verification for regulated substance content in your application region.

• Series Consideration: The 2283676 belongs to the FLK series while the 2315201 belongs to the VIP series, both within the VARIOFACE family. Mechanical and electrical interfaces remain compatible across these series variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315201 directly replace the 2283676 in existing installations?

A: The 2315201 is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications where per-contact current does not exceed 2.0A. Verify that your application current requirements do not exceed this limit. Additionally, confirm that the 12mm length increase does not conflict with available mounting space.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (FLK vs VIP)?

A: Both FLK and VIP are variants within the Phoenix Contact VARIOFACE family. The series designation reflects internal product line organization but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for this 50-position D-Sub female interface module specification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 2283676 is RoHS-compliant (original standard), while the 2315201 is ROHS3-compliant (current standard). The 2315201 is REACH-affected, meaning it is subject to REACH chemical substance regulations. The 2283676 is REACH-unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your application region and end-use.

Q: What should I verify before ordering the 2315201 as a replacement?

A: Verify three critical factors: (1) Maximum per-contact current in your application does not exceed 2.0A; (2) Available mounting space accommodates the 98.20mm length; (3) REACH compliance status is acceptable for your application region and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the 2283676 listed as obsolete?

A: The 2283676 has reached end-of-life status in Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. The 2315201 represents the active equivalent within the VARIOFACE family, ensuring continued availability and support for this interface module specification.
