Phoenix Contact 1607064 Circular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1607064 is an 8-position circular connector receptacle housing designed for male pins in free-hanging (in-line) configuration. This component features a threaded fastening mechanism, shielded design, and M40-8 shell size with mixed contact sizes (2.0mm for 4 positions, 3.6mm for 3 power positions plus PE). The part carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and system compatibility for new designs or replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1607064 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle Housing for Male Pins)
• Position count and configuration (8 positions: 4 + 3 Power + PE)
• Shell size and insert designation (M40-8)
• Contact size specification (2.0mm and 3.6mm mixed)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Environmental rating (IP67)
• Shielding requirement (Shielded)
• Material composition (Gadolinium-Zinc shell, Polyamide insert)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 1613432 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the fastening mechanism (Push-Twist versus Threaded), which represents a functional enhancement rather than a compatibility limitation, as both mechanisms achieve equivalent mechanical retention within the M40-8 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1613432 is the qualified substitute for the 1607064. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For new designs or long-term applications: The 1613432 is the preferred choice due to Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The Push-Twist fastening mechanism provides equivalent mechanical performance within the M40-8 specification while offering operational advantages in field assembly and disassembly scenarios.

For legacy system replacement: The 1607064 remains functionally equivalent to the 1613432 where existing designs specify threaded fastening. Substitution to the 1613432 is permissible provided the mechanical interface accommodates the Push-Twist mechanism.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and environmental specifications, including RoHS compliance, IP67 ingress protection, and operating temperature range. No performance degradation occurs with substitution in either direction within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1613432 directly replace the 1607064 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, contact configurations, shell size, and environmental ratings. The fastening mechanism difference (Push-Twist versus Threaded) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the M40-8 specification. Mechanical interface verification is required only if the backshell or mating connector design incorporates fastening-specific features.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference?

A: The 1607064 uses threaded fastening, while the 1613432 uses Push-Twist fastening. Both mechanisms achieve equivalent retention and sealing performance. Push-Twist fastening typically reduces assembly time and does not require tools, while threaded fastening may be preferred in applications requiring maximum vibration resistance or where tool-based assembly is standard practice.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1). Environmental ratings, operating temperature ranges, and material specifications are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 1607064 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this part number. The 1613432 represents the active replacement within the SM series, offering equivalent functionality with enhanced fastening technology and continued manufacturing support.

Q: Can contacts from one part be used interchangeably with the other?

A: Yes. Both housings accept identical crimp contact specifications (2.0mm and 3.6mm sizes). Contact compatibility is determined by size and crimp style, not by housing part number.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 1607064 has 1136 pcs in stock (Last Time Buy status), while the 1613432 has 1048 pcs in stock (Active status). For new procurement, the 1613432 is recommended to ensure long-term supply availability.
