Phoenix Contact 2912316 General Purpose Relay SPDT 10A 120V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2912316 is a general purpose relay with Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration, rated for 10A at 120VAC/DC coil voltage. This relay is designed for DIN rail mounting and features a lighted indicator with socket inclusion. The 2912316 is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this relay type is specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2912316 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C) configuration
Coil Voltage: 120VAC/DC
Contact Rating: 10 A minimum
Switching Voltage: 250VAC, 250VDC maximum capability
Mounting Type: DIN Rail
Coil Current: 4.5 mA
Coil Type: Non Latching
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 60°C
Contact Material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
Termination Style: Spring Terminal
Features: Lighted Indicator, Socket Included

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute: Phoenix Contact 2900296 (PLC-RPT series, Active status)

Parametric Equivalent: Phoenix Contact 2909533 (PLC-RPT series, Active status)

Both substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 2912316, with the primary distinction being product series designation and current availability status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Phoenix Contact 2900296 and 2909533 are suitable substitutes for the obsolete 2912316 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence.

Phoenix Contact 2900296 is classified as Active status with ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH affected designation. This part is available in bulk packaging with documented inventory of 1077 units.

Phoenix Contact 2909533 is classified as Active status with RoHS compliance certification. This part is available in bulk packaging with documented inventory of 1053 units.

Selection between the two active substitutes should be based on compliance requirements specific to the application. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications and are direct replacements for the 2912316 in DIN rail-mounted general purpose relay applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 2900296 or 2909533 directly replace the 2912316 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (120VAC/DC coil voltage, 10A contact rating, SPDT configuration) and mechanical specifications (DIN rail mounting, spring terminal termination, lighted indicator with socket). Physical form factor and pin configuration are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are product series designation (2900296 is PLC-RPT series, 2909533 is also PLC-RPT series) and compliance certifications. The 2900296 carries ROHS3 and REACH affected status, while 2909533 carries standard RoHS compliance. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Why is the 2912316 listed as obsolete?

A: The 2912316 (PLC-RSP series) has been superseded by the active PLC-RPT series relays (2900296 and 2909533). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to these newer series while maintaining full parameter equivalence.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 2912316 is listed with dash packaging notation, while both 2900296 and 2909533 are available in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 2912316 carries RoHS Compliant and EAR99 ECCN certification. The 2900296 carries ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected, and EAR99 ECCN certification. The 2909533 carries RoHS Compliant and EAR99 ECCN certification. All three parts meet industrial relay compliance standards.

Q: Can I use these relays in applications requiring -40°C to 60°C operation?

A: Yes. All three parts (2912316, 2900296, and 2909533) are rated for -40°C to 60°C operating temperature range.
