Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 2315269 qualifies as a functional equivalent to the 2295651 based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Number of poles: 2
• Line side connections per pole: 2
• Load side connections per pole: 12
• Line side connection type: Screw connection
• Load side connection type: Terminal blocks
• Line side wire size range: 10-24 AWG
• Load side wire size range: 12-24 AWG
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements
• REACH status: Both parts are REACH unaffected

Variance in Current Rating: The 2315269 is rated for 15 A at 250 V, compared to the 2295651 rated for 16 A. This represents a 1 A reduction in current capacity. The substitute part maintains the same mechanical interface, connection topology, and wire gauge compatibility while operating at a slightly lower current threshold.

Product Status Difference: The 2295651 is obsolete, while the 2315269 is active. This distinction makes the 2315269 the appropriate selection for applications requiring current component availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315269 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2295651 based on product status and regulatory compliance alignment. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces and connection configurations, ensuring direct compatibility in existing terminal block assemblies.

The 2315269 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards, whereas the 2295651 carries RoHS compliance. Both parts are REACH unaffected and share unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent environmental performance characteristics.

The primary technical consideration is the current rating differential: the 2315269 operates at 15 A versus the 2295651 at 16 A. This 1 A reduction must be evaluated against the specific application current requirements. Applications operating at or below 15 A will experience no functional impact. Applications requiring the full 16 A capacity of the original part may require alternative solutions beyond this substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315269 directly replace the 2295651 in existing installations?

A: The 2315269 maintains identical pole count, connection topology, and wire gauge compatibility with the 2295651. Direct mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is established. The substitution is valid provided the application current requirement does not exceed 15 A.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The 2295651 is rated for 16 A while the 2315269 is rated for 15 A. This represents a 1 A reduction in maximum current capacity. Applications operating below 15 A will not be affected. Applications requiring 16 A operation must verify that the 15 A rating of the substitute part meets system requirements.

Q: Why is the 2295651 listed as obsolete?

A: The 2295651 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 2315269 is the active equivalent model, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support for new procurements and system maintenance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2295651 packaging is not specified in the technical data. The 2315269 is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application workflow.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 2315269 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings.
