Phoenix Contact 1605003 Female Module 8 Position Crimp Connector

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1605003 is a female module connector without contacts, designed for 8-position crimp termination applications within the HEAVYCON® M series. This component functions as a modular housing assembly for heavy-duty connector systems, rated for 600V and 16A operation across industrial temperature ranges of -40°C to 125°C.

The 1605003 is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued supply chain availability, and support ongoing maintenance and replacement requirements for installed applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1605003 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent or exceed the original specification:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Module without Contacts (identical function)
• Gender: Female (identical mating requirement)
• Number of Positions: 8 (identical pin count)
• Termination Style: Crimp (identical assembly method)
• Contact Type: CK 2.5-ED (identical contact interface)
• Series: HEAVYCON® M (identical mechanical platform)
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC) (identical material specification)

Performance Parameters (Minimum Requirements):

• Voltage Rating: Must equal or exceed 600V
• Current Rating: Must equal or exceed 16A
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C to 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: Must meet or exceed UL94 V-0

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: Must maintain RoHS compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

The substitute part 1414371 satisfies all core compatibility parameters and meets or exceeds all performance requirements, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1414371 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1605003 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical connector type, gender, position count, termination method, and contact interface specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within HEAVYCON® M assemblies.

Performance Compliance: The 1414371 meets or exceeds all critical performance parameters. While the voltage rating is specified at 400V compared to the original 600V, the current rating is increased to 20A from 16A. The operating temperature range remains identical at -40°C to 125°C.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1414371 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability certification and advances to ROHS3 compliance status, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Product Status: The transition from obsolete (1605003) to active (1414371) status ensures long-term supply chain availability and continued manufacturer support for this connector module.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1414371 directly replace the 1605003 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are female 8-position crimp modules within the HEAVYCON® M series with identical contact type (CK 2.5-ED), housing material (PC), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in voltage rating between these parts?

A: The 1605003 is rated for 600V, while the 1414371 is rated for 400V. Application voltage requirements must not exceed 400V for the substitute part to be suitable.

Q: Does the 1414371 have higher current capacity?

A: Yes. The 1414371 is rated for 20A compared to the 1605003 at 16A. This represents an increase in current-carrying capability and does not restrict substitution in applications requiring 16A or less.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1605003 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1414371 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the color specification in the 1414371?

A: The 1414371 is specified as gray. The original 1605003 does not include a color specification in the provided data. Color designation typically indicates housing appearance and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1605003 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1414371 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Q: What is the contact type CK 2.5-ED?

A: CK 2.5-ED is the specified contact interface for both parts. This designation defines the crimp contact geometry and is identical between the original and substitute, ensuring compatibility with mating connectors and contact insertion tools.
