Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1423988 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1582205 model. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the QPD series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, termination method, current capacity, temperature range, and ingress protection rating.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: the 1582205 is obsolete while the 1423988 is in active production. This status difference ensures supply chain availability and ongoing manufacturer support for the 1423988. Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory compliance, including ROHS3 certification, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

The 1423988 includes a keyed orientation feature not specified in the original 1582205 documentation. This feature provides additional assembly guidance without compromising backward compatibility in applications where orientation control is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1423988 directly replace the 1582205 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position configuration, termination method, current rating, operating temperature range, and ingress protection rating. The 1423988 is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the 1582205.

Q: What is the significance of the keyed orientation feature in the 1423988?

A: The keyed orientation feature in the 1423988 provides directional guidance during assembly. This feature does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility and is compatible with applications designed for the non-keyed 1582205 configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these two parts?

A: The 1582205 is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the 1423988 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both configurations contain identical components; packaging differences do not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1582205 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1582205 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1423988 represents the active production equivalent within the QPD series, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1582205 and 1423988 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under EAR99 export control. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What cable opening sizes are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both components accept cables with outer diameters ranging from 0.354 inches to 0.551 inches (9.00mm to 14.00mm), providing compatibility with standard industrial cable specifications.
