Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1605310 can be substituted with the 1584871 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Series: HEAVYCON® B16
• Connector Type: Insert
• Gender: Male
• Number of Positions: 16+Ground
• Size: B16
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Silver
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameters:

• Termination Style: Tension Clamp (1605310) vs. Screw (1584871)
• Voltage Rating: 500V (1605310) vs. 600V (1584871)
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (1605310) vs. Polycarbonate Glass Filled (1584871)
• Product Status: Obsolete (1605310) vs. Active (1584871)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (1605310) vs. ROHS3 Compliant (1584871)

The 1584871 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical position count, size designation, contact materials, and temperature ratings. The screw termination provides an alternative wire attachment method suitable for applications where tension clamp termination is not required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1584871 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1605310. Selection of the 1584871 provides the following advantages:

Product Status: The 1584871 maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1605310.

Compliance Enhancement: The 1584871 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Electrical Performance: The 1584871 provides a higher voltage rating of 600V compared to the 1605310's 500V rating, offering increased electrical margin in applications operating at or near the original 500V specification.

Mechanical Robustness: The glass-filled polycarbonate housing of the 1584871 provides enhanced mechanical strength compared to standard polycarbonate, improving durability in demanding industrial environments.

Termination Consideration: The screw termination of the 1584871 differs from the tension clamp of the 1605310. Applications requiring tension clamp termination must evaluate whether screw termination meets installation and operational requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1584871 directly replace the 1605310 in existing installations?

A: The 1584871 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical connector size (B16), position count (16+Ground), contact materials, and temperature ratings. The primary difference is termination style: screw versus tension clamp. Compatibility depends on whether the installation can accommodate screw termination instead of tension clamp termination.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 500V and 600V?

A: The 1584871's 600V rating provides additional electrical margin. Applications operating at 500V or below are fully compatible. The higher rating does not affect mechanical or thermal performance.

Q: Does the glass-filled polycarbonate housing of the 1584871 affect compatibility?

A: The glass-filled polycarbonate provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. This material change does not affect electrical performance, contact compatibility, or thermal operating range. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1605310 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1584871 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or performance.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean compared to RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents current regulatory compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions; the 1584871 reflects current compliance documentation standards.

Q: Can the 1605310 be used if the 1584871 is unavailable?

A: The 1605310 is classified as obsolete. While existing inventory may be available, the 1584871 is the active product with ongoing manufacturer support and should be prioritized for new designs and long-term system maintenance.
