Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 2909522 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 5606331 based on the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: Both parts maintain SPDT (1 Form C) contact form
• Coil Voltage: Identical 12VDC specification
• Current Rating: Both rated for 6A continuous contact current
• Switching Voltage: Both support 250VAC and 250VDC maximum switching voltage
• Mounting Standard: Both use DIN rail mounting
• Coil Type: Both are non-latching relays
• Termination: Both feature screw terminal connections
• Contact Material: Both use Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO) contact surfaces

The 2909522 is the active production equivalent, with product status changed from obsolete to active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2909522 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using the 5606331. The substitute part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and current manufacturing support.

The 2909522 provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C versus -20°C to 60°C), offering improved performance in lower temperature environments. Both parts carry equivalent export classifications (EAR99) and maintain compliance with RoHS standards, with the 2909522 meeting the more recent ROHS3 specification. The 2909522 is additionally REACH affected, reflecting current regulatory compliance requirements.
