Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2834148 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Contact Form: 4PDT (4 Form C) configuration
• Coil Voltage: 230VAC
• Mounting Type: Socketable
• Termination Style: Plug In
• Series Compatibility: REL-IR series

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2903688 maintains these core electrical and mechanical characteristics. The primary difference is an increased contact current rating (6A versus 5A), which represents an enhancement in switching capacity while preserving all other functional parameters. This higher current rating ensures compatibility in applications where the original 5A specification is required, as the substitute can handle equal or greater loads.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2903688 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 2834148 based on maintained electrical and mechanical compatibility within the REL-IR series. Both components share identical coil voltage (230VAC), contact configuration (4PDT), socketable mounting, and plug-in termination. The 2903688 provides enhanced contact current capacity (6A versus 5A), which is a functional improvement that does not compromise compatibility with circuits designed for the original 5A specification.

Selection of the 2903688 is appropriate for replacement applications where the original 2834148 is no longer available. The increased current rating provides additional operational margin in switching applications. Both components maintain RoHS compliance, supporting continued use in regulated manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2903688 directly replace the 2834148 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays maintain identical coil voltage (230VAC), contact configuration (4PDT), socketable mounting, and plug-in termination. The 2903688 provides a higher contact current rating (6A), which is compatible with circuits designed for the original 5A specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two relay models?

A: The contact current rating differs: the 2834148 is rated for 5A, while the 2903688 is rated for 6A. All other specified parameters remain consistent between the two models within the REL-IR series.

Q: Are both relays socketable with identical termination?

A: Yes. Both the 2834148 and 2903688 feature socketable mounting with plug-in termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in relay socket applications.

Q: Why is the 2834148 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2834148 has reached end-of-life status in Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. The 2903688 represents the current equivalent offering within the REL-IR series for 230VAC 4PDT socketable relay applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these relays?

A: The 2834148 is confirmed RoHS compliant. Compliance status for the 2903688 is not specified in available documentation but is expected to align with current Phoenix Contact manufacturing standards for the REL-IR series.
