Phoenix Contact 2794712 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2794712 is a feed-through terminal block connector designed for 2-position applications with screw termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The terminal block supports wire gauges from 10-26 AWG (0.2-4mm²) and operates at 30A UL current rating with 60V UL voltage specification. Its polyamide insulation with UL94 V-2 flammability rating and integrated diode feature provide circuit protection in industrial control and distribution applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2906833 is identified based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Electrical Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance status
• Voltage Operating Range: The substitute part operates at 53VAC/75VDC continuous, which encompasses the main part's 60V UL specification
• Current Capacity: The substitute part supports 60A discharge current, exceeding the main part's 30A UL rating
• Manufacturer Alignment: Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, ensuring design philosophy and quality standards consistency

Functional Substitution Logic: The 2906833 functions as a transient voltage suppressor module designed for circuit protection applications. While categorized differently (TVS vs. Terminal Block), this component provides equivalent protective functionality through its voltage suppression and current discharge capabilities. The substitute part's DIN Rail mounting and module-only form factor offer alternative integration methods for applications requiring the protective features inherent in the original 2794712's diode functionality.

Compliance and Certification Alignment: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and RoHS compliance designations, supporting direct substitution in regulated environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement Applications: The Phoenix Contact 2906833 is suitable for applications where the original 2794712 terminal block is no longer available. The substitute part's active product status ensures continued supply chain availability and manufacturer support. The higher current discharge rating (60A vs. 30A) and extended voltage operating range (75VDC vs. 60V) provide operational margin in existing circuit designs.

Compliance Considerations: Both components maintain identical ECCN and RoHS compliance classifications, supporting direct substitution in regulated procurement environments without additional compliance documentation.

Certification Alignment: The substitute part carries UL approval alongside CSA and cCSAus certifications, meeting or exceeding the certification requirements of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2906833 directly replace the 2794712 in existing installations? A: The 2906833 provides equivalent circuit protection functionality through transient voltage suppression. Both components share identical RoHS and ECCN compliance. Physical mounting differences (DIN Rail vs. screw terminal) require mechanical integration assessment for specific applications.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts? A: The substitute part operates at higher voltage (75VDC vs. 60V) and current (60A discharge vs. 30A) specifications. Both maintain the same compliance and regulatory classifications.

Q: Is the 2906833 available in the same packaging as the 2794712? A: No. The 2794712 uses screw terminal packaging, while the 2906833 is supplied as a module-only form factor for DIN Rail mounting. Integration method selection depends on system architecture requirements.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to using the substitute part? A: Yes. The 2906833 maintains active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 2794712 is classified as obsolete.

Q: Do both parts require the same certifications for use in regulated applications? A: Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) classification and RoHS compliance status. The substitute part includes additional UL, CSA, and cCSAus approvals.
