Phoenix Contact Circuit Breaker 2800899 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2800899 is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker rated for 12A at 277V AC and 80V DC, featuring a slide switch actuator and dual-pole configuration in a holder mounting type. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant. Circuit breakers of this specification are essential in industrial control and power distribution applications where overcurrent protection and voltage compatibility across AC and DC systems are required. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number is unavailable, when inventory constraints exist, or when alternative sourcing is required while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute parts 2800877 and 2800888 are classified as parametric equivalents to the main part 2800899 based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 12A (identical across all parts)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 277V (identical across all parts)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 80V (identical across all parts)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (identical across all parts)
• Actuator Type: Slide Switch (identical across all parts)
• Number of Poles: 2 (identical across all parts)
• Mounting Type: Holder (identical across all parts)
• Series: CB (identical across all parts)
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (identical across all parts)

All three parts share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The substitution is valid because the core functional parameters that determine circuit breaker performance and installation compatibility are equivalent across all three part numbers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—2800899, 2800877, and 2800888—are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 12A thermal magnetic circuit breaker with 277V AC and 80V DC ratings. Selection among these equivalents should be based on the following factors:

Product Status and Compliance: All three parts maintain Active product status and are compliant with applicable regulatory standards. Parts 2800877 and 2800888 carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, while 2800899 carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both compliance levels are acceptable for industrial applications.

Regulatory Considerations: Parts 2800877 and 2800888 are identified as REACH Affected, which may be relevant for applications subject to European Union chemical regulations. Part 2800899 does not carry this designation.

Inventory Availability: Selection may be influenced by current stock levels: 2800899 (810 Pcs), 2800877 (736 Pcs), and 2800888 (751 Pcs). All parts are available in sufficient quantities for production requirements.

Export Classification: All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.20.0020) classifications, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 2800877 or 2800888 be used as a direct replacement for 2800899?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametric equivalents with identical current ratings (12A), voltage ratings (277V AC / 80V DC), breaker type (thermal magnetic), actuator type (slide switch), pole configuration (2-pole), and mounting type (holder). Direct substitution is valid from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. ROHS3 represents a more recent iteration of the standard. Both are acceptable for industrial applications. The choice between them depends on customer or end-application requirements.

Q: Are parts 2800877 and 2800888 suitable for applications requiring REACH compliance?

A: Parts 2800877 and 2800888 are identified as REACH Affected. This designation indicates that these parts are subject to European Union REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. Applications requiring REACH compliance should confirm that these parts meet specific end-use requirements.

Q: Does the packaging type affect substitution?

A: No. All three parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and does not restrict substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in export classification among these parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.20.0020) classifications. Export and tariff treatment is equivalent across all three part numbers.

Q: Which part should be selected if inventory is a concern?

A: All three parts maintain adequate stock levels (2800899: 810 Pcs, 2800877: 736 Pcs, 2800888: 751 Pcs). Selection should be based on compliance requirements, regulatory considerations, and application-specific needs rather than inventory constraints.
