  • Identical RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification
  • Maintained ingress protection rating (IP66/IP68/IP69K) for sealed applications
  • Identical current capacity (20A) and temperature operating range (-40°C to 100°C)
  • Identical IDC termination method and threaded fastening system

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the 1582166 connector without modification to existing panel cutouts, cable assemblies, or electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1423976 directly replace the 1582166 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1423976 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and environmental protection specifications. No modifications to panel mounting, cable assemblies, or system design are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 1582166?

A: The 1582166 is obsolete. The 1423976 provides an active, functionally equivalent alternative with identical specifications and assured long-term availability.

Q: Are the IDC termination specifications identical between both connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors utilize IDC termination with identical cable opening range (6.00mm to 10.00mm) and contact specifications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated IP66/IP68/IP69K, providing equivalent dust-tight and waterproof protection for industrial applications.

Q: Are there differences in voltage or shielding specifications?

A: The 1423976 specifies a 690V voltage rating and unshielded configuration. The 1582166 does not specify these parameters. For applications requiring specific voltage or shielding characteristics, verify that the 1423976 specifications align with system requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these connectors?

A: The 1582166 packaging is not specified. The 1423976 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.
