Phoenix Contact 2912549 General Purpose Relay DPDT 6A 120V - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2912549 is a general purpose relay with DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration, rated for 6A at 120VAC/DC coil voltage. This relay is designed for DIN rail mounting with spring terminal connections and includes a lighted indicator and socket. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 2912549 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact configuration: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Coil voltage: 120VAC/DC
• Contact current rating: 6 A
• Switching voltage: 250VAC, 250VDC maximum
• Coil current: 4.5 mA
• Mounting type: DIN Rail
• Termination style: Spring Terminal
• Contact material: Silver Nickel (AgNi)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 60°C
• Timing characteristics: 7 ms operate time, 10 ms release time
• Features: Lighted indicator and socket included

The identified substitutes (2900335 and 2909515) match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both are active products from Phoenix Contact, providing functional equivalence to the obsolete 2912549.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (2900335 and 2909515) provide direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 2912549. Selection between substitutes should be based on the following factors:

2900335 (PLC-RPT Series): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation. Coil resistance specified at 26.67 kOhms. Bulk packaging available with 638 units in stock.

2909515 (PLC-RPT Series): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation. Moisture Sensitivity Level listed as Not Applicable. Bulk packaging available with 755 units in stock.

Both parts meet current regulatory requirements and are suitable for direct replacement in applications previously using the 2912549. The choice between them depends on supply chain availability and specific compliance documentation requirements for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2900335 or 2909515 directly replace the obsolete 2912549?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: DPDT contact configuration, 6A contact rating, 120VAC/DC coil voltage, 250VAC/250VDC switching voltage, DIN rail mounting, spring terminal connections, and identical timing characteristics. Socket and lighted indicator features are preserved.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: Both 2900335 and 2909515 are functionally equivalent. The 2900335 specifies coil resistance at 26.67 kOhms. The 2909515 lists Moisture Sensitivity Level as Not Applicable. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Inventory levels differ: 638 units for 2900335 and 755 units for 2909515.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with DIN rail mounting?

A: No. Both substitute parts maintain identical DIN rail mounting specifications and spring terminal connections as the original 2912549. Physical installation and electrical connections remain unchanged.

Q: Do the substitutes maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 60°C as the original part.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the substitute parts?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to current Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. Both substitute parts meet this requirement, making them suitable for applications with regulatory compliance mandates.
