Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 2909516 and 2900336 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance. The 2900336 carries ROHS3 certification and REACH compliance status, indicating alignment with current European regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, and timing characteristics.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and inventory status. The 2900336 currently maintains higher inventory levels (953 units) compared to the 2909516 (697 units), which may influence lead time considerations for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2900336 directly replace the 2909516 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical electrical specifications (230VAC/DC coil voltage, 6A DPDT contact configuration, 250VAC/250VDC switching voltage), mechanical mounting (DIN Rail with spring terminals), and functional features (lighted indicator, socket inclusion). No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: The 2909516 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 2900336 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and includes REACH compliance status. Both meet current regulatory requirements for their respective markets.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitutability for this relay category?

A: Substitutability is determined by coil voltage, contact form (DPDT), contact current rating (6A), switching voltage (250VAC/250VDC), coil current (4.5 mA), mounting type (DIN Rail), termination style (spring terminal), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 55°C). All these parameters are identical between the 2909516 and 2900336.

Q: Do both relays support the same socket and accessory compatibility?

A: Yes. Both relays include socket inclusion as a standard feature and use identical spring terminal termination, ensuring compatibility with the same accessory ecosystem within the PLC-RPT series.

Q: What is the operating time difference between these relays?

A: Both relays have identical timing specifications: 7 ms operate time and 10 ms release time. No performance variation exists in switching response characteristics.
