Phoenix Contact 2295716 Interface Module - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2295716 is a 14-position interface module header with dual rectangular male connectors on the control side. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 2295716 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 14 positions maintained across substitute parts
• Control Side Connector Type: Rectangular, Male (2) configuration required for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Category Classification: Terminal blocks interface module designation
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance and MSL rating alignment

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2965143 satisfies these core substitution criteria. The primary distinction is that 2965143 is an active product with defined process-side connection specifications (terminal blocks with screw connection) and rated electrical parameters, whereas the original 2295716 lacks these detailed specifications due to its obsolete status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2965143 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 2295716 based on matching core interface specifications: 14-position configuration and dual rectangular male connector compatibility on the control side. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency.

The 2965143 is classified as an active product within the VARIOFACE, UM series, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the discontinued 2295716. The substitute part includes fully specified electrical and thermal parameters (60VDC rated voltage, 1 A per contact, -20°C to 50°C operating range) and defined process-side screw terminal connections with 14-26 AWG wire gauge support, enabling precise system integration.

Selection of the 2965143 is appropriate for applications requiring the 14-position dual rectangular male interface configuration where the original 2295716 is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes Phoenix Contact 2965143 a suitable substitute for 2295716?

A: Both parts share the critical interface specifications: 14-position configuration and dual rectangular male (2) control-side connectors. Both maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings. The 2965143 is an active product with fully documented electrical and mechanical parameters, making it the direct functional equivalent.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting 2295716 with 2965143?

A: The control-side connector type (rectangular, male dual configuration) is identical between both parts, ensuring mechanical compatibility at the control interface. The 2965143 specifies screw-terminal process-side connections with 14-26 AWG wire gauge support, providing defined integration parameters absent in the obsolete 2295716.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 2295716 packaging specification is not documented. The 2965143 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production and replacement applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 2295716 and 2965143 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

Q: Why is the 2295716 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2295716 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 2965143 represents the active product line continuation within the VARIOFACE, UM series, offering the same 14-position interface functionality with enhanced specification documentation and assured supply availability.
