Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2692526 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Frequency coverage: Must support 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
• Antenna form factor: Dome configuration
• Mounting interface: Panel mount capability
• Termination type: N Type Female connector (primary interface)
• Ingress protection: IP68 rating
• Physical envelope: Maximum height 2.008" (51.00mm)

The Phoenix Contact 2702898 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on matching all primary criteria. While the 2702898 specifies 8dBi gain (versus the dual 6dBi/8dBi specification of the 2692526), this represents a performance enhancement rather than a limitation, as 8dBi gain is within the operational envelope of the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2702898 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2692526 based on functional equivalence across all critical RF and mechanical parameters. The 2702898 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Considerations:

• The 2702898 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the 2692526
• Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99
• The 2702898 includes REACH Affected designation, indicating compliance with EU chemical regulations

Connector Configuration: The 2702898 provides N Type Female termination, matching the primary interface of the 2692526. Applications requiring the secondary SMA Male connector must implement external adapter solutions or evaluate alternative antenna designs with dual termination support.

Operational Equivalence: The 2702898 specifies 8dBi gain across both frequency bands, compared to the 2692526's dual 6dBi/8dBi specification. This represents consistent performance across the operating envelope and is suitable for direct substitution in existing RF system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2702898 directly replace the 2692526 in existing installations?

A: The 2702898 provides direct substitution for applications utilizing the N Type Female connector. The antenna maintains identical frequency coverage (2.4GHz and 5GHz), dome form factor, panel mount interface, IP68 ingress protection, and physical envelope. The 8dBi gain specification of the 2702898 is compatible with system designs originally specified for the 2692526.

Q: What is the impact of the 2702898 specifying only 8dBi gain versus the 2692526's 6dBi/8dBi specification?

A: The 2702898 provides consistent 8dBi gain across both frequency bands. This represents a performance enhancement for applications originally designed around 6dBi operation and maintains compatibility with designs specified for 8dBi operation. No system redesign is required.

Q: Does the 2702898 support the SMA Male connector interface of the 2692526?

A: The 2702898 is specified with N Type Female termination only. Applications requiring SMA Male connectivity must implement external N-to-SMA adapter solutions or evaluate alternative antenna designs with multi-connector support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the 2692526 and 2702898?

A: The 2702898 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and includes REACH Affected designation, both representing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the 2692526. Both components maintain EAR99 export classification. The 2702898 is suitable for applications with current EU regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of these components?

A: The 2692526 (Obsolete) has 826 units in stock. The 2702898 (Active) has 812 units in stock, with ongoing manufacturer availability as an active product line.
