Phoenix Contact 1584897 Heavy Duty Connector Insert - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1584897 is a male insert connector for the HEAVYCON® B16 series heavy duty connector system. This component features 16 positions plus ground, designed for push-in termination applications requiring 500V voltage rating and 16A current capacity. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector utilizes polyamide housing with silver-finished copper alloy contacts, meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1584897 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Insert
• Gender: Male
• Number of positions: 16+Ground
• Size designation: B16
• Termination style: Push In
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Contact finish: Silver
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 500V
• Current rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 16A
• Housing material: Alternative materials acceptable if meeting flammability and mechanical requirements
• Product status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute part 1407734 satisfies all mandatory matching criteria and demonstrates acceptable parameter variations within engineering tolerance for heavy duty connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407734 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1584897 within the HEAVYCON® B16 series. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring physical and functional compatibility in existing connector systems.

The substitute part demonstrates enhanced voltage rating capability (600V versus 500V), providing additional safety margin in high-voltage applications. However, the current rating of the substitute (13A) is lower than the original specification (16A). Applications requiring the full 16A current capacity must evaluate whether the 13A rating of part 1407734 meets system requirements.

Both components maintain identical operating temperature ranges, flammability ratings, and RoHS compliance status. The housing material difference (polycarbonate versus polyamide) does not affect functional compatibility, as both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability classification and meet mechanical requirements for the B16 connector system.

The active product status of 1407734 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity, addressing the obsolescence limitation of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1407734 be used as a direct replacement for the 1584897 in all applications?

A: The 1407734 provides mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the 1584897. However, applications requiring 16A current capacity must account for the substitute's 13A rating. If your system operates at or near 16A, the lower current rating of the substitute may not be suitable.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference between these parts?

A: The original part uses polyamide (PA/nylon) housing while the substitute uses polycarbonate (PC). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and provide equivalent mechanical protection. The material change does not affect connector performance or compatibility within the HEAVYCON® B16 system.

Q: Why does the substitute have a higher voltage rating?

A: The 1407734 is rated for 600V compared to the 1584897's 500V rating. This represents an enhancement in the substitute design and provides additional safety margin for high-voltage applications. Systems designed for 500V operation remain fully compatible with the higher-rated substitute.

Q: Is the 1407734 still in production?

A: Yes, the 1407734 maintains active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The original 1584897 is classified as obsolete and is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both components maintain identical RoHS compliance status and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited). No compliance or certification differences exist between the parts.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these parts for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 1407734 is the appropriate choice due to its active production status and enhanced voltage rating. The current rating difference (13A versus 16A) should be evaluated against your specific application requirements. If 16A capacity is essential, alternative connector options within the HEAVYCON® series should be reviewed.
