Phoenix Contact 2834025 General Purpose Relay DPDT 24VDC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2834025 is a general purpose relay with DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration, rated for 10A at 24VDC coil voltage. This socketable relay features a diode, lighted indicator, and test button, designed for plug-in termination applications. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance and component replacement in existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2834025 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: DPDT (2 Form C) contact form is mandatory for functional equivalence
• Coil Voltage: 24VDC coil voltage must be maintained for circuit compatibility
• Mounting Type: Socketable mounting with plug-in termination style ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Contact Rating: Current rating must meet or exceed 10A to handle the same load requirements
• Switching Voltage: Maximum switching voltage of 250VAC/250VDC or higher maintains operational envelope
• Operating Temperature: Temperature range must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 70°C for environmental compatibility

The Phoenix Contact 2903660 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. It maintains identical coil voltage (24VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), mounting type (socketable), and termination style (plug-in), while providing an increased contact rating of 12A, which exceeds the original 10A specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2903660 is suitable for direct replacement of the 2834025 based on the following engineering criteria:

• Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, ensuring design consistency and quality standards
• Identical coil voltage (24VDC) and contact configuration (DPDT) provide direct functional compatibility
• Socketable mounting with plug-in termination ensures mechanical interchangeability
• The 2903660 provides a higher contact current rating (12A vs. 10A), which is acceptable for applications requiring the original 10A specification
• Both components maintain RoHS compliance status, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements

The obsolete status of the 2834025 makes the 2903660 the appropriate production alternative for new designs and component replacement in existing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2903660 directly replace the 2834025 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (24VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), mounting type (socketable), and termination style (plug-in). The 2903660 provides a higher current rating (12A), which is compatible with applications designed for the original 10A specification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 2834025 is obsolete. The 2903660 is the current production equivalent from Phoenix Contact, maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both relays are socketable with plug-in termination, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in standard relay sockets.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 2903660 affect circuit operation?

A: No. A higher current rating does not negatively impact circuit operation. The 2903660 is rated for 12A, which exceeds the 10A requirement of the original design, providing additional margin.

Q: Are both relays RoHS compliant?

A: The 2834025 is confirmed RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance status for the 2903660 is not specified in the provided data.
