Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2966485 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Form: SPDT (1 Form C)
• Coil Voltage: 24VAC/DC
• Contact Rating (Current): 6 A
• Switching Voltage: 250VAC, 250VDC - Max
• Coil Type: Non Latching
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail
• Termination Style: Spring Terminal
• Contact Material: Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2900300 meets all mandatory matching parameters. This part belongs to the PLC-RPT series and maintains functional and electrical equivalence with the obsolete 2966485 model, enabling direct replacement in existing installations and new designs.

For applications requiring the 2966485, the 2900300 provides functional and electrical equivalence with the advantage of ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2900300 directly replace the 2966485 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical electrical specifications including contact form (SPDT), coil voltage (24VAC/DC), current rating (6A), switching voltage (250VAC/250VDC), coil current (11mA), and termination style (Spring Terminal). The 2900300 is functionally equivalent and mechanically compatible for DIN rail mounting.

Q: What is the difference between the PLC-RSP and PLC-RPT series?

A: The 2966485 belongs to the PLC-RSP series (obsolete), while the 2900300 belongs to the PLC-RPT series (active production). Both series share the same electrical and mechanical specifications for this relay configuration. The series designation reflects manufacturing evolution and product line organization.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the 2900300 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 2900300 operating range of -40°C to 60°C encompasses the original -25°C to 60°C specification. This extended range provides additional environmental flexibility without compromising compatibility in applications designed for the 2966485.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2966485 is specified with "-" packaging notation, while the 2900300 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are suitable for component-level integration and DIN rail installation.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both relays are RoHS compliant. The 2966485 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 2900300 meets the ROHS3 standard. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
