Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 2912264 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the PLC relay family. The substitute part 2900290 maintains functional compatibility through matching of the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage: 12VDC (identical)
• Contact form: SPDT (1 Form C) (identical)
• Contact current rating: 10 A (identical)
• Maximum switching voltage: 250VAC, 250VDC (identical)
• Coil current: 33 mA (identical)
• Coil type: Non Latching (identical)
• Operate and release times: 8 ms / 10 ms (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 60°C (identical)
• Contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi) (identical)
• Mounting type: DIN Rail (identical)
• Termination style: Spring Terminal (identical)

The substitute part 2900290 belongs to the active PLC-RPT series and carries current RoHS3 compliance certification, addressing the obsolescence of the original PLC-RSP series component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2900290 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 2912264. Both relays maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, switching voltage, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range.

The 2900290 offers the advantage of active product status with current ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The substitute includes socket mounting capability as an additional feature, providing enhanced flexibility in installation configurations while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing circuit designs.

For applications requiring the original 2912264, direct replacement with 2900290 is supported without circuit modification or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2900290 directly replace the 2912264 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 2900290 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. DIN rail mounting, spring terminal connections, and coil/contact characteristics are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two relays?

A: The 2912264 (PLC-RSP series) is obsolete, while the 2900290 (PLC-RPT series) is an active product with current ROHS3 compliance. The 2900290 includes socket mounting capability as an additional feature. All core relay functions remain identical.

Q: Are the coil resistance values equivalent?

A: The 2912264 specifies 364 Ohms coil resistance. The 2900290 coil resistance is not specified in available documentation. However, both relays maintain identical coil voltage (12VDC) and coil current (33 mA), ensuring equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Q: Does the inclusion of socket mounting on the 2900290 affect compatibility?

A: No. Socket mounting is an additional feature that enhances installation flexibility. The 2900290 retains full spring terminal compatibility with the 2912264, allowing installation in existing DIN rail configurations without modification.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 2912264 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 2900290 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing current regulatory standards. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The 2900290 is additionally REACH Affected.

Q: What is the operational difference between these relays?

A: There is no operational difference. Both relays feature non-latching coils, 8 ms operate time, 10 ms release time, and identical contact material (Silver Nickel). Operating temperature range and all electrical specifications are equivalent.
