Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2963475 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: CEE 7/4 (Schuko) — must match exactly for physical and electrical compatibility
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets — functional role must remain unchanged
• Number of Positions: 2 — pin count must be identical
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail — installation method must be compatible
• Features: LED Indicator — functional feature must be present
• Approval Agencies: Minimum VDE certification required; EAC certification preferred for regional compliance

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1068075 satisfies these core substitution criteria. While termination method differs (Push In versus Spring-Cage), both termination types are acceptable for CEE 7/4 receptacle applications and do not prevent functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1068075 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 2963475. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The substitute part 1068075 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance; the substitute retains VDE certification, satisfying primary regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Identical connector style (CEE 7/4 Schuko), connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (2), mounting method (DIN rail), and feature set (LED indicator) ensure direct functional replacement
• Termination Compatibility: The transition from spring-cage to push-in termination represents a standard evolution in connector design and does not compromise electrical or mechanical performance in CEE 7/4 applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1068075 directly replace Phoenix Contact 2963475 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style (CEE 7/4 Schuko), connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (2), DIN rail mounting, and LED indicator functionality. The termination method difference (push-in versus spring-cage) does not prevent functional substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The substitute part 1068075 is in active production, ensuring availability for replacement, repair, and new system designs. The original part 2963475 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The original part carries EAC and VDE certifications; the substitute carries VDE certification. VDE certification is the common approval standard between both parts.

Q: What is the difference between spring-cage and push-in termination?

A: Both termination methods provide secure electrical connection in CEE 7/4 receptacle applications. Spring-cage uses spring-loaded contacts; push-in uses direct insertion. Both are standard termination approaches for this connector category.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to substitution?

A: Packaging format (bulk versus other configurations) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement and inventory requirements.
