Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1424009 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Jack connector with 8P8C (RJ45/Ethernet) contact arrangement
• Physical Form Factor: Straight orientation with polycarbonate housing
• Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination
• Shielding: Shielded construction for EMI protection
• Mounting Interface: Requires holder mounting system
• Ingress Protection: IP20 rating
• Series Compatibility: PLUSCON VS series

The substitute part 1652936 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interfaces required for direct functional replacement. Both connectors share identical connector type, contact configuration, orientation, termination method, shielding approach, housing material, mounting requirements, and ingress protection rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1652936 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1424009 connector. Selection rationale is based on the following factors:

Product Status: Part 1652936 maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 1424009.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts are RoHS compliant. Part 1652936 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are classified as EAR99 and share identical HTSUS codes, confirming equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Functional Compatibility: All mechanical and electrical interfaces are identical, including connector type, contact configuration, termination method, shielding, housing material, mounting system, and ingress protection rating. Both connectors operate within overlapping temperature ranges, with 1652936 providing extended operating limits (-20°C ~ 70°C versus -10°C ~ 60°C).

Performance Considerations: Part 1652936 is rated for Cat5e applications, while 1424009 is rated for Cat6a. This represents a performance step-down in bandwidth capability. For applications requiring Cat6a performance specifications, this substitution introduces a technical limitation that must be evaluated against actual system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1652936 directly replace 1424009 in existing installations?

A: Yes, from a mechanical and electrical interface perspective. Both connectors share identical form factors, mounting systems, termination methods, and contact configurations. However, the Cat5e rating of 1652936 versus the Cat6a rating of 1424009 represents a performance difference that must be considered based on application bandwidth requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product status—1424009 is obsolete while 1652936 is active; (2) Operating temperature range—1652936 extends to -20°C and +70°C versus -10°C to +60°C; (3) Contact material and finish—1424009 uses copper tin alloy while 1652936 uses copper alloy with gold finish; (4) Category rating—1424009 is Cat6a while 1652936 is Cat5e; (5) Packaging—1652936 is supplied in bulk format.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. Part 1652936 carries ROHS3 certification, representing alignment with current regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications.

Q: What is the impact of the Cat5e versus Cat6a rating difference?

A: Cat6a supports higher bandwidth and frequency specifications compared to Cat5e. Applications requiring Cat6a performance should evaluate whether Cat5e capability is sufficient for their specific bandwidth and distance requirements before implementing this substitution.

Q: Are both connectors available in the same packaging formats?

A: Part 1424009 packaging information is not specified. Part 1652936 is available in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed based on procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both connectors have identical moisture sensitivity levels?

A: Yes, both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
