Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1582637 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Configuration: Must be a 4-position distributor with 3 + PE arrangement
• Termination Method: IDC termination required
• Contact System: Silver-plated copper contacts
• Current Rating: 20A minimum
• Ingress Protection: IP66/IP68/IP69K classification
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 100°C
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging, in-line orientation with threaded fastening
• Cable Opening Specification: 0.236" ~ 0.394" (6.00mm ~ 10.00mm)
• Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1424041 meets all critical substitution criteria across these parameters, establishing functional and electrical equivalence within the QPD series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424041 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1582637. Selection of the 1424041 is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The 1424041 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 1582637 is obsolete.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications. The 1424041 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards, while the 1582637 carries RoHS compliance. Both satisfy environmental and safety requirements.
• Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector configuration, termination method, contact system, current rating, ingress protection, operating temperature range, and cable opening specifications—are identical between the two parts.
• Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the Phoenix Contact QPD series, ensuring design continuity and interchangeability within existing systems.

For new designs or system replacements, the 1424041 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the 1582637 is currently installed, the 1424041 provides direct substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1424041 directly replace the 1582637 in existing installations?
