• Identical switching voltage: 250VAC, 250VDC - Max
• Identical coil current: 33 mA
• Identical coil type: Non Latching
• Identical termination style: Screw Terminal
• Identical contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
• Identical relay type: General Purpose
• Identical mounting type: DIN Rail
• Identical operate and release times: 8 ms / 10 ms

The 2909517 is the active production equivalent within the PLC-RSC series, with expanded operating temperature range and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

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.
