About Phoenix Contact 2966171
Phoenix Contact publishes 2966171 as the order number for PLC-RSC- 24DC/21, a PLC-INTERFACE relay module: a PLC-BSC.../21 basic terminal block with screw connection plus a plug-in miniature relay with power contact, for assembly on DIN rail NS 35/7,5, with one changeover contact and a 24 V DC input voltage.
The order number and the type designation are two ways of writing the same item, and suppliers use both. Because the coil voltage and contact configuration are part of the type, a listing for another PLC-RSC variant is a different article number even when the photograph looks identical.
Phoenix Contact highlights the slim design, the RT III sealed relay, safe isolation between coil and contact side, functional plug-in bridges and an integrated input and interference suppression circuit. Confirm coil voltage and contact arrangement on the listing you open before ordering.

Common formatting variations
Suppliers, ERP systems, and handwritten work orders do not always write the number the same way. These are the forms worth trying — or ruling out — when a search returns nothing:
- 2966171 — the Phoenix Contact order number
- PLC-RSC- 24DC/21 — the type designation on the same product page, with the space Phoenix Contact prints
- PLC-RSC-24DC/21 — the same type written without the space
- PLC-RSC 24DC 21 — separators replaced in spreadsheets and ERP exports

What is 2966171?
Phoenix Contact publishes it as PLC-RSC- 24DC/21, a PLC-INTERFACE relay module built from a PLC-BSC.../21 screw-connection terminal block and a plug-in miniature relay with power contact, for DIN rail NS 35/7,5, with one changeover contact and 24 V DC input voltage.
Is 2966171 the same as PLC-RSC- 24DC/21?
Yes — they are the order number and the type designation for the same article on Phoenix Contact's product page. Suppliers list it under either form, so search whichever you have and confirm the other on the listing.
Will another PLC-RSC module work instead?
Phoenix Contact does not state that on this page. Coil voltage and contact configuration are part of the type, so a different variant is a different article — check your schematic before substituting.

Are relay modules sold individually?
