Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2906235 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 4000 A (primary functional requirement)
• Frequency Range: 16Hz ~ 1kHz (operational bandwidth)
• Type: Non-Invasive (Split Core) (mechanical and functional design)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (form factor and installation method)
• Termination Style: Terminal Block (electrical interface)
• Physical Dimensions: 4.744" L x 0.244" W and 4.350" height (spatial constraints)

The Phoenix Contact 2906234 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 2906235.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2906234 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 2906235. Both components share identical electrical specifications (4000 A current rating, 16Hz ~ 1kHz frequency range), mechanical design (non-invasive split core, DIN rail mounting), and physical dimensions. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

The 2906234 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications requiring the functional characteristics of the 2906235.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2906234 directly replace the 2906235 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 2906234 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 2906235, with matching current rating (4000 A), frequency range (16Hz ~ 1kHz), mounting type (DIN rail), termination style (terminal block), and physical dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 2906235 is classified as obsolete. The 2906234 is the active equivalent part from Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 2906235 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 2906234 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect component functionality or performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 2906235 and 2906234 are RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), meeting current environmental and reliability requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by current rating (4000 A), frequency range (16Hz ~ 1kHz), transformer type (non-invasive split core), mounting configuration (DIN rail), and physical dimensions (4.744" L x 0.244" W x 4.350" height). All parameters are identical between the two parts.
