Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for circular connector receptacle housings is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer Series (SM series)
• Connector Type (Receptacle Housing for Male Pins)
• Shell Material (Gadolinium-Zinc)
• Mounting Type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Ingress Protection Rating (IP67 minimum)
• Shielding Configuration (Shielded)
• Operating Temperature Range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS Compliance Status
• Contact Type (Crimp)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Number of Positions (may increase to accommodate additional signal or power contacts)
• Shell Size - Insert (may change with position count)
• Contact Size Distribution (may vary based on position configuration)
• Fastening Type (threaded or push-twist mechanisms acceptable within series)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1613431 maintains all mandatory compatibility criteria while increasing the position count from 6 to 8 positions and adjusting the shell size to M40-8 to accommodate the additional contacts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1613431 is a valid substitute for the 1607063 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Availability: The 1607063 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating end-of-life production. The 1613431 maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (653 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain viability for new designs and system replacements.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Functional Compatibility: Both connectors operate within the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), maintain IP67 ingress protection, and utilize the same shell material (Gadolinium-Zinc) and insert material (Polyamide PA66). The shielded configuration is preserved in both designs.

Position and Contact Configuration: The 1613431 increases position capacity from 6 to 8 positions, with 2 additional 2.0mm signal contacts. This expansion accommodates applications requiring additional signal channels while maintaining the 3-position power configuration and protective earth (PE) contact present in the original design.

Fastening Mechanism Variation: The 1613431 employs a push-twist fastening mechanism compared to the threaded fastening of the 1607063. Both mechanisms are standard within the SM series and provide equivalent mechanical security for in-line applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1613431 directly replace the 1607063 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical replacement is possible due to identical mounting type (free-hanging in-line), shell material, and ingress protection rating. However, the increased position count (8 vs. 6) and different shell size (M40-8 vs. M40-6) require verification that the connector footprint and mating interface accommodate the larger housing. The fastening mechanism change from threaded to push-twist must also be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference?

A: The 1607063 provides 6 positions (2 signal + 3 power + PE), while the 1613431 provides 8 positions (4 signal + 3 power + PE). The additional 2 signal contacts in the 1613431 enable expanded signal routing capability. The power and protective earth configuration remains identical, maintaining power delivery specifications.

Q: Are the contact sizes compatible between these parts?

A: Both parts utilize 2.0mm crimp contacts for signal lines and 3.6mm crimp contacts for power connections. The 1607063 has 2 signal contacts (2.0mm) and 4 power contacts (3.6mm). The 1613431 has 4 signal contacts (2.0mm) and 4 power contacts (3.6mm). Existing 2.0mm and 3.6mm crimp contacts are compatible with both housings.

Q: Does the fastening type change affect sealing performance?

A: Both threaded and push-twist fastening mechanisms within the SM series maintain the IP67 ingress protection rating. The sealing performance and dust/water resistance are equivalent between the two fastening approaches.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 1607063 is Last Time Buy with 1066 pcs in stock. The 1613431 is Active status with 653 pcs available. For new designs or long-term supply requirements, the 1613431 is the recommended selection due to its active production status.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1607063 and 1613431 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard industrial storage and handling conditions.
