Phoenix Contact 2960698 General Purpose Relay DPDT 24VDC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The Phoenix Contact 2960698 is a general purpose relay with DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) contact configuration, rated for 5A at 24VDC coil voltage. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for standard switching applications requiring dual-pole changeover functionality. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2960698 is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Coil Voltage: Must be 24VDC to maintain compatibility with existing control circuits
- Contact Form: Must be DPDT (2 Form C) to preserve dual-pole switching functionality
- Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole to ensure PCB compatibility
- Termination Style: Must be PC Pin for direct board connection
- Contact Rating: Must support minimum 5A switching capacity; higher ratings are acceptable for applications not exceeding the original current specification
- Switching Voltage: Must support 250VAC and 250VDC maximum ratings
- Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance required for regulatory adherence
The Phoenix Contact 2961192 meets all substitution criteria as an active product with enhanced specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The Phoenix Contact 2961192 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 2960698. Both relays share identical coil voltage, contact configuration, mounting method, and termination style. The 2961192 is an active product with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.
The 2961192 provides enhanced performance characteristics: increased contact rating (8A versus 5A), reduced coil current draw (17mA versus 21mA), faster operate time (7ms versus 9ms), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C). These improvements make the 2961192 suitable for applications currently using the 2960698 without circuit modification.
Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory compliance with RoHS and REACH standards. The 2961192 carries ROHS3 certification, reflecting current compliance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2961192 directly replace the 2960698 in existing designs?
A: Yes. Both relays have identical coil voltage (24VDC), contact configuration (DPDT), mounting type (Through Hole), and termination style (PC Pin). The 2961192 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the 2960698.
Q: What is the difference in contact current rating between these relays?
A: The 2960698 is rated for 5A contact current, while the 2961192 is rated for 8A. The higher rating of the 2961192 provides additional margin for applications operating at or near the 5A specification of the original part.
Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?
A: The 2960698 uses standard packaging, while the 2961192 is supplied in tube packaging. Both are through-hole mounted components with identical PCB footprints and pin configurations.
Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?
A: The 2960698 operates from -40°C to 70°C, while the 2961192 extends to -40°C to 85°C. The 2961192 is suitable for applications requiring the wider temperature range.
Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference?
A: The 2960698 uses Silver Cadmium Oxide (AgCdO) contacts, while the 2961192 uses Silver Nickel (AgNi) contacts. Both materials are suitable for general-purpose switching applications at the specified voltage and current ratings.
Q: Why is the 2960698 listed as obsolete?
A: The 2960698 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 2961192 represents the current active product line for equivalent DPDT 24VDC relay functionality.
Q: Are both relays RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The 2960698 is RoHS Compliant, and the 2961192 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
