Phoenix Contact 1417399 Heavy Duty Connector Frame - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1417399 is a 3-module female/male heavy duty docking carrier shell frame, size B10, constructed from zinc alloy die cast material. This component operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current availability and active product support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1417399 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Module Configuration: 3-module capacity
• Gender Configuration: Female/Male docking capability
• Frame Size: B10 classification
• Frame Type: Docking, carrier shell frame design
• Material Composition: Zinc alloy die cast construction
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum requirement
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® M series

The substitute part 1182088 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. Both components share identical module count, gender configuration, frame size, frame type, material specification, and operating temperature range within the HEAVYCON® M product series. The primary distinction lies in the frame attachment mechanism (snap-in versus hinged) and product lifecycle status (active versus obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1182088 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1417399 frame. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 3-module configuration, B10 size classification, female/male gender pairing, and full operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

The 1182088 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and enhanced RoHS3 compliance certification. The frame attachment mechanism differs (snap-in versus hinged), representing a design evolution within the HEAVYCON® M series rather than a functional limitation. This attachment method change does not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical durability within the specified operating envelope.

For applications requiring the original hinged frame design, the 1417399 remains available in existing inventory (747 pieces). For new designs or long-term system support, the 1182088 is the recommended selection due to active product lifecycle status and superior compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1417399 and 1182088 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are 3-module female/male heavy duty docking frames within the HEAVYCON® M series, size B10, with identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C) and material specifications (zinc alloy die cast). Electrical performance and connector interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the hinged and snap-in frame designs?

A: The 1417399 uses a hinged frame attachment mechanism, while the 1182088 employs a snap-in design. Both mechanisms provide secure frame mounting within the HEAVYCON® M docking system. The snap-in design represents a manufacturing evolution and does not affect electrical or thermal performance.

Q: Can I use the 1182088 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 1417399?

A: Mechanical compatibility depends on the specific mounting interface in your assembly. Both frames are size B10 with identical docking specifications. Verify that your mounting structure accommodates the snap-in attachment method of the 1182088, or confirm that the hinged design of the 1417399 is not a functional requirement.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the 1182088 versus RoHS compliance on the 1417399?

A: ROHS3 represents an updated compliance certification reflecting current regulatory standards. Both components meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The 1182088's ROHS3 certification indicates alignment with the latest regulatory framework and is preferred for new designs and long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Why is the 1417399 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Phoenix Contact has transitioned this component to end-of-life status. The 1182088 represents the active product line continuation within the HEAVYCON® M series, offering equivalent functionality with current manufacturing and support.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The 1417399 has 747 pieces available in current inventory as new original stock. The 1182088 has 1167 pieces available. For immediate requirements, both options provide adequate stock. For long-term projects, the 1182088 is recommended due to active product status and higher inventory levels.
