Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1605826 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Configuration: Receptacle housing for male pins with 8-position arrangement (4 + 3 Power + PE)
• Shell Size & Insert Specification: M40-8 shell size and insert dimensions
• Contact Specifications: Crimp contact type with 2.0mm (4 positions) and 3.6mm power (4 positions) sizing
• Mounting & Orientation: Free-hanging, in-line configuration with normal orientation
• Environmental Rating: IP67 ingress protection for dust and water resistance
• Material & Temperature Range: Gadolinium-zinc shell construction, -40°C to 125°C operating range
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1613432 maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the fastening mechanism (Push-Twist versus Threaded) and active product status, which does not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the connector housing specifications are the controlling requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1613432 is the designated manufacturer substitute for the 1605826. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs or Redesigns: The 1613432 is the preferred selection. This part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support. The Push-Twist fastening mechanism provides equivalent functional performance to the threaded design while maintaining all electrical and mechanical specifications.

For Existing Designs Using 1605826: The 1613432 provides direct functional substitution. The fastening mechanism difference (Push-Twist versus Threaded) does not affect connector housing compatibility or performance in applications where the M40-8 shell size, 8-position configuration, and IP67 rating are the design requirements.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, supporting applications with standard moisture and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1613432 directly replace the 1605826 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are Phoenix Contact SM series receptacle housings with identical position counts (8), shell sizes (M40-8), contact specifications (2.0mm and 3.6mm crimp), and environmental ratings (IP67). The fastening mechanism difference does not affect housing interchangeability.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The fastening type differs: 1605826 uses threaded fastening, while 1613432 uses Push-Twist fastening. Both mechanisms provide secure connection and are functionally equivalent for the connector housing application.

Q: Why is the 1605826 listed as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 1613432, with Active status, is the current production equivalent and recommended for all new applications.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use crimp contacts with identical sizing: 2.0mm for four positions and 3.6mm for power positions, supporting the 8-position (4 + 3 Power + PE) configuration.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are rated IP67 for ingress protection, operate across -40°C to 125°C, and maintain RoHS compliance with MSL Level 1 rating.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 1605826 has 994 pieces in stock (Last Time Buy status). The 1613432 has 1048 pieces in stock (Active status), providing greater long-term availability assurance.
