Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2912400 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Mounting Type: DIN Rail mounting is mandatory for mechanical compatibility
• Termination Style: Spring terminal connection is required for electrical interface compatibility
• For Use With/Related Products: Miniature relay socket functionality must be maintained
• Voltage Rating: 24V DC operation specification
• Features: Diode and indicator functionality support

The substitute part 2900260 satisfies these core substitution criteria through equivalent DIN rail mounting, spring terminal termination, miniature relay socket design, and integrated diode functionality. The transition from the obsolete PLC-BSC series to the active PLC-BPT series represents a direct functional replacement within Phoenix Contact's product portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2900260 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2912400 based on functional equivalence across all critical parameters. The 2900260 maintains active product status within Phoenix Contact's current catalog, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements, with the substitute meeting the more recent ROHS3 standard. The 2900260 is REACH-affected, indicating compliance with current European chemical regulations. Spring terminal termination and DIN rail mounting are preserved in the substitute, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing miniature relay installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2900260 directly replace the 2912400 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (DIN Rail), termination style (Spring Terminal), and relay socket functionality. The substitute maintains the core electrical and mechanical interfaces required for miniature relay applications.

Q: What is the difference in features between these parts?

A: The main part 2912400 includes both diode and lighted indicator features. The substitute 2900260 includes diode functionality. Verify that lighted indicator functionality is not critical to your application before substitution.

Q: Why is the 2912400 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2912400 belongs to the PLC-BSC series, which has been superseded by the active PLC-BPT series in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 2900260 represents the current generation equivalent.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 2900260 meets the more recent ROHS3 standard and is REACH-affected, indicating alignment with current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the 2900260?

A: The substitute is available in bulk packaging, differing from the main part's standard packaging designation.
