Phoenix Contact 2297196 3-Phase Solid-State Contactor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2297196 is a 3-phase solid-state contactor (SSR) designed for industrial relay applications with integrated heat sink packaging. This component operates as a 3PST-NO (3 Form A) relay with zero-cross AC output switching capability, rated for 2 A load current at 48–575V. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2297196 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: Must maintain 3PST-NO (3 Form A) topology for three-phase switching
• Output Type: AC operation with zero-cross switching capability
• Mounting Interface: DIN Rail compatibility for standard industrial panel installation
• Termination: Screw terminal connection for field wiring
• Load Voltage Range: Must accommodate the 48–575V operating envelope
• Input Control Voltage: 24VDC control signal compatibility

The Sensata-Crydom DRC3P60D433 satisfies these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced load current capacity (5 A versus 2 A) and extended input voltage tolerance (18–30VAC/DC).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Sensata-Crydom DRC3P60D433 is an active-status equivalent for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 2297196. Both components maintain identical circuit topology (3PST-NO), output switching characteristics (AC, zero-cross), and termination methodology (screw terminal). The DRC3P60D433 provides superior specifications in load current capacity (5 A) and load voltage ceiling (600V), making it suitable for applications requiring the original 2297196 performance envelope.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and are subject to REACH regulations, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial deployment. The DRC3P60D433 active product status ensures ongoing availability and technical support, addressing the procurement challenges associated with the obsolete Phoenix Contact part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Sensata-Crydom DRC3P60D433 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 2297196?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (3PST-NO), output type (AC, zero-cross), mounting interface (DIN Rail), and termination style (screw terminal). The DRC3P60D433 operates within the load voltage range of the original part and accepts 24VDC control signals within its 18–30VAC/DC input specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The DRC3P60D433 offers higher load current capacity (5 A versus 2 A) and extended load voltage range (48–600V versus 48–575V). The DRC3P60D433 also supports both AC and DC input control signals, whereas the 2297196 specifies 24VDC only. The DRC3P60D433 is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The Phoenix Contact 2297196 features an integrated heat sink within its SSR package, while the DRC3P60D433 is classified as a module. Both support DIN Rail mounting. Thermal management requirements should be evaluated based on the specific application load current profile.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. The 2297196 carries ROHS3 certification, while the DRC3P60D433 carries RoHS certification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes.
