Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 2900456 can be substituted with the 2980322 based on the following critical parameters:

• Mounting Type: Both parts mount on DIN rail
• Type: Both are socket-type components
• Manufacturer: Both are Phoenix Contact products
• Application: Both are designed for miniature relay compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification

The primary difference between these parts is the termination style: the 2900456 uses spring terminals, while the 2980322 uses screw terminals. This distinction affects installation methodology but does not prevent functional substitution in applications where screw terminal connection is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2980322 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2900456. Selection of the 2980322 is supported by:

• Product Status: The 2980322 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The 2980322 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected, representing current regulatory standards
• Functional Compatibility: Both parts serve identical applications with miniature relays on DIN rail installations
• Manufacturer Endorsement: Phoenix Contact has officially designated the 2980322 as the replacement for the 2900456

The transition from spring terminals to screw terminals requires installation procedure adjustment but does not compromise electrical or mechanical performance in relay socket applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2980322 directly replace the 2900456 in existing installations?

A: The 2980322 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 2900456 for DIN rail relay socket applications. The primary consideration is the termination method: the 2900456 uses spring terminals while the 2980322 uses screw terminals. Installation procedures must be adjusted accordingly.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from PLC-BPT to PLC-BSC?

A: The series designation change reflects the product evolution within Phoenix Contact's relay socket portfolio. Both series are designed for miniature relay compatibility on DIN rail systems. The PLC-BSC series represents the current active product line.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the 2900456 and 2980322?

A: The 2900456 is RoHS Compliant, while the 2980322 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing updated regulatory standards. The 2980322 is additionally REACH affected. Both parts carry the same EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 2980322?

A: The 2980322 is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the 2900456 which was supplied with standard packaging designation.

Q: Is the lighted indicator feature on the 2980322 a functional requirement for substitution?

A: The lighted indicator is a feature of the 2980322 but is not a requirement for functional substitution. This feature provides additional operational visibility in relay socket applications.
