Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2909517 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 2900191. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing designs.

The 2909517 offers the following advantages:

  • Active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
  • Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C versus -20°C to 60°C) provides broader environmental compatibility
  • ROHS3 compliance supersedes the RoHS compliance of the 2900191
  • REACH affected status indicates current regulatory compliance documentation

For applications requiring the 2900191, the 2909517 is the recommended replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2909517 directly replace the 2900191 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical electrical ratings (12VDC coil, 6A DPDT contacts, 250VAC/250VDC switching), identical coil current (33 mA), identical timing characteristics (8 ms operate, 10 ms release), and identical termination (screw terminal). The 2909517 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these parts?

A: The 2900191 operates from -20°C to 60°C, while the 2909517 operates from -40°C to 60°C. The 2909517 provides extended low-temperature capability, making it suitable for a wider range of environmental conditions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 2900191 and 2909517?

A: The 2900191 packaging is not specified in the technical data. The 2909517 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 2909517?

A: The 2909517 carries ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected. These certifications supersede the RoHS compliance of the obsolete 2900191.

Q: Is the 2909517 available in the same series as the 2900191?

A: Yes. Both relays are part of the Phoenix Contact PLC-RSC series, confirming design continuity and compatibility.
