Phoenix Contact 1408047 Fiber Optic Connector SCRJ Duplex Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1408047 is a fiber optic plug connector with SCRJ duplex configuration designed for plastic optical fiber (POF) applications. This connector features a push-pull fastening mechanism and is rated for free-hanging in-line mounting with a 10.0mm cable diameter. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1407896 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1408047 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SCRJ (identical)
• Connector Type: Plug (identical)
• Simplex/Duplex Configuration: Duplex (identical)
• Mode: POF (identical)
• Cable Diameter: 10.0mm (identical)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (identical)
• Housing Color: Silver (identical)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The 1407896 represents the active production equivalent with enhanced specifications including improved ingress protection rating (IP65/IP67), nickel plating on the housing, and copper alloy ferrule material. The product status transition from obsolete to active makes this the recommended replacement for procurement and system continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407896 is the designated active production replacement for the obsolete 1408047. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for SCRJ duplex POF applications with 10.0mm cable diameter and push-pull fastening.

Selection of the 1407896 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Maintained RoHS compliance for regulatory requirements
• Enhanced environmental protection through IP65/IP67 ingress protection rating
• Improved material specifications with nickel plating and copper alloy ferrule
• Specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C) providing defined thermal performance

For applications where the original 1408047 was specified, direct substitution with the 1407896 maintains full functional compatibility while providing access to current production inventory and improved environmental durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1407896 be used as a direct replacement for the 1408047 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1407896 maintains identical connector style (SCRJ), configuration (duplex plug), fiber mode (POF), cable diameter (10.0mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). All interface parameters are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without mechanical or electrical modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1408047 is classified as obsolete. The 1407896 is the active production equivalent from Phoenix Contact, ensuring availability for procurement, maintenance, and new system designs.

Q: Are there differences in environmental performance between these parts?

A: The 1407896 includes specified ingress protection (IP65/IP67) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C), whereas these parameters are not specified for the 1408047. Both maintain identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1408047 packaging is not specified. The 1407896 is available in bulk packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1408047 and 1407896 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance limitations.

Q: What is the significance of the nickel plating on the 1407896?

A: The nickel plating on the 1407896 housing provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the unplated zinc die cast housing of the 1408047, contributing to improved durability in environmental applications.
