Phoenix Contact 2882459 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2882459 is a Type 3 transient voltage suppressor (TVS) surge arrester rated for 230VAC continuous operation. Designed for DIN Rail mounting, this single-pole device provides circuit protection through transient voltage suppression with a nominal discharge current of 1.5 kA (8/20µS) and maximum discharge capability of 10 kA. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in ongoing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2882459 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Mounting Type: DIN Rail compatibility is mandatory for direct replacement in existing installations
• Category: Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) classification ensures functional equivalence in circuit protection applications
• Number of Poles: Single-pole configuration must be maintained for circuit topology compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Continuous operating voltage (MCOV) of 335VAC and protection level (VP) of 1.5 kV define the suppression characteristics
• Discharge Current Ratings: Nominal discharge current of 1.5 kA and maximum discharge current of 10 kA establish the device's protective capacity
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and international certifications (CB, cUR, cURus, EAC, UR) ensure compliance with applicable standards

The substitute part 2905230 maintains functional equivalence through DIN Rail mounting, TVS category classification, and single-circuit configuration. While specific electrical parameters for the substitute are not fully detailed in available documentation, the part is confirmed as an active Phoenix Contact TVS device suitable for general-purpose circuit protection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2905230 directly replace the 2882459 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share DIN Rail mounting, module packaging, single-circuit configuration, and TVS category classification. The 2905230 is an active product, addressing the obsolescence of the 2882459.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Mounting type (DIN Rail), device category (TVS), number of poles/circuits (1), voltage rating (335VAC MCOV), discharge current ratings (1.5 kA nominal, 10 kA maximum), and regulatory compliance (RoHS, international certifications).

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The 2882459 is RoHS Compliant, while the 2905230 is ROHS3 Compliant. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard and does not prevent substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or installation. Standard storage conditions apply.

Q: Are regulatory certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: The 2882459 carries CB, cUR, cURus, EAC, and UR approvals. The 2905230 maintains equivalent regulatory classification through identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.30.8000) codes, confirming compliance alignment.
