Phoenix Contact 2297222 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2297222 is a 3-phase solid-state contactor (SSR) designed for industrial relay applications. This component operates as a 3PST-NO (3 Form A) relay with AC zero-cross switching capability, rated for 9 A load current at 48–575V output voltage. The unit features DIN Rail mounting with screw terminal connections and integrated heat sink packaging.

This part carries an Obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across input voltage specifications, load current ratings, circuit configuration, and mounting standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2297222 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Circuit Configuration: The substitute must maintain 3PST-NO (3 Form A) topology to ensure identical switching behavior across all three phases.

Switching Characteristic: AC zero-cross operation is required to preserve electromagnetic compatibility and load switching performance.

Load Current Capacity: The substitute must equal or exceed the 9 A rating. The Carlo Gavazzi RGC3A60A20KKE provides 20 A capacity, which exceeds the minimum requirement.

Input Voltage Compatibility: The substitute input voltage range must accommodate or exceed the 230VAC specification. The RGC3A60A20KKE accepts 20–275VAC input, which includes the 230VAC requirement.

Load Voltage Range: The substitute must support the 48–575V output voltage window. The RGC3A60A20KKE operates at 42–600V, which encompasses this range.

Mounting and Termination: Both DIN Rail mounting and screw terminal connections must be preserved for mechanical and electrical integration compatibility.

Package Type: SSR with integrated heat sink packaging ensures thermal management equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Carlo Gavazzi RGC3A60A20KKE qualifies as a functional equivalent for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 2297222 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components share identical circuit topology (3PST-NO), switching characteristic (AC zero-cross), and termination method (screw terminal). The substitute's 20 A load current rating exceeds the original 9 A specification, providing operational margin. Input voltage range (20–275VAC) encompasses the required 230VAC, and load voltage range (42–600V) fully contains the 48–575V window.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both units support DIN Rail mounting with integrated heat sink packaging, enabling direct installation in existing enclosures without mechanical redesign.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute maintains RoHS compliance and carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The original part's Obsolete designation necessitates this substitution for new procurements and system maintenance.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is available in Bulk packaging, whereas the original was supplied with standard packaging notation. Verify bulk quantity requirements align with procurement specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Carlo Gavazzi RGC3A60A20KKE directly replace the Phoenix Contact 2297222 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical circuit configuration (3PST-NO), switching type (AC zero-cross), mounting method (DIN Rail), and termination style (screw terminal). The substitute's higher current rating (20 A vs. 9 A) and expanded voltage ranges provide full compatibility with the original application parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the load current rating difference (9 A vs. 20 A)?

A: The substitute's 20 A rating exceeds the original 9 A specification. This provides operational headroom and does not create incompatibility. The component will function correctly at the original 9 A load level. Thermal management remains adequate due to identical integrated heat sink packaging.

Q: Are the input voltage ranges compatible?

A: Yes. The original part requires 230VAC input. The substitute accepts 20–275VAC (AC) and 24–190VDC (DC), which fully encompasses the 230VAC requirement. The expanded range provides additional flexibility for future applications.

Q: Do the load voltage ranges match?

A: The original part operates at 48–575V output. The substitute operates at 42–600V output. This range encompasses the original specification, ensuring full compatibility across all intended load voltage conditions.

Q: Why is product status relevant to substitution?

A: The original Phoenix Contact 2297222 carries Obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The Carlo Gavazzi substitute maintains Active status, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new procurements and long-term system maintenance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The original is RoHS3 Compliant; the substitute is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for industrial relay applications. REACH status differs (original is REACH Affected; substitute is REACH Unaffected), but both are suitable for EU market deployment.
