Phoenix Contact 2962489 Interface Module Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2962489 is a 50-position interface module terminal block designed for screw connection to rectangular male connectors, supporting wire gauges from 14-26 AWG. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

The primary reason for identifying substitute parts is the obsolete status of the main part number. Active equivalent models provide continued availability while maintaining functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 2962489 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions / Poles: Must equal 50 positions to maintain connector interface compatibility
• Connection Type: Process side must be terminal blocks with screw connection; control side must be rectangular male connector with latches
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 60V and current rating of 1 A per contact must be maintained or exceeded
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -20°C to 50°C minimum
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge ranges must overlap with or encompass the original specification

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2315227 meets these criteria with compatible electrical ratings, connection types, and operating parameters. The wire gauge specification of 12-24 AWG provides overlap with the original 14-26 AWG range, supporting wires in the 14-24 AWG overlap band.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315227 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 2962489 based on matching electrical specifications, connection architecture, and operating parameters. Both components maintain identical voltage ratings (60V), current capacity (1 A per contact), temperature range (-20°C to 50°C), and 50-position configuration with screw-to-rectangular male connector interface.

The 2315227 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components are RoHS compliant, with the substitute meeting ROHS3 specifications. Wire gauge compatibility exists within the 14-24 AWG overlap range, supporting standard industrial wiring applications.

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts (2962489: 4.961" × 1.772"; 2315227: 4.177" × 2.579"), requiring verification of mounting space constraints in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315227 directly replace the 2962489 in existing installations?

A: The 2315227 provides functional equivalence for electrical and connection specifications. Physical dimensions differ, requiring confirmation that mounting space accommodates the substitute part's footprint (4.177" length × 2.579" width versus 4.961" × 1.772").

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both parts?

A: The overlap range is 14-24 AWG. The original 2962489 supports 14-26 AWG, while the substitute 2315227 supports 12-24 AWG. Wires within the 14-24 AWG band are compatible with both components.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 2962489 meets RoHS standards, while the 2315227 meets ROHS3 specifications. Both are REACH unaffected and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations?

A: The 2962489 belongs to the VARIOFACE COMPACT-LINE UM series, while the 2315227 belongs to the VARIOFACE and VIP series. Both are Phoenix Contact interface module products with compatible electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for component selection?

A: The 2962489 has 1121 pieces in stock as new original inventory, while the 2315227 has 1000 pieces available. The substitute part's active status provides ongoing availability beyond current inventory levels.
