Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407898 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 1408049 model. Both connectors maintain identical core specifications for SCRJ duplex plug configuration, cable diameter, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. The 1407898 offers enhanced durability through nickel plating of the zinc die cast housing and provides specified ingress protection ratings (IP65/IP67) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C), which are not documented for the original part. Both components maintain full RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The active product status of the 1407898 ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1407898 be used as a direct replacement for the 1408049?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical SCRJ duplex plug configuration, 10.0mm cable diameter, free hanging in-line mounting, push-pull fastening, and housing material specifications. The 1407898 is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status and environmental specifications. The 1407898 is an active product with specified ingress protection (IP65/IP67) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C), whereas the 1408049 is obsolete with unspecified environmental ratings. The 1407898 features nickel plating on the zinc die cast housing, providing enhanced corrosion resistance.

Q: Why is the 1408049 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1407898 represents the current active equivalent from Phoenix Contact for this connector category.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both connectors are available in new original stock. Packaging specifications are not provided in the technical documentation for either part.

Q: Does the nickel plating on the 1407898 affect compatibility?

A: No. Nickel plating enhances the durability and corrosion resistance of the housing material without affecting the mechanical or electrical interface specifications required for SCRJ duplex plug connector operation.
