Phoenix Contact 1607065 Circular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1607065 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 circular connector receptacle housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle housing for male pins
• Position Count & Arrangement: 8 positions with identical power/signal distribution (4 + 3 Power + PE)
• Shell Size: M40-8 insert specification
• Contact Specifications: Matching contact sizes (2.0mm and 3.6mm) and crimp termination
• Mounting & Orientation: Free-hanging in-line configuration with normal orientation
• Environmental Rating: IP67 ingress protection and shielded design
• Material & Thermal Range: Gadolinium-zinc shell, -40°C to 125°C operating range

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1613433 maintains equivalence across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the fastening mechanism (Push-Twist versus Threaded), which represents a functional upgrade path while preserving all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements.

• Not recommended for new design implementations

1613433 (Active Status - Recommended)

• Designated as active product with ongoing manufacturer support
• Push-Twist fastening provides equivalent mechanical security with simplified assembly
• Superior long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Current inventory: 1,172 pcs available
• Recommended for new designs and replacement applications
• Maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with 1607065 across all critical parameters

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 requirements. Selection between them should prioritize 1613433 for new implementations due to active product status and enhanced availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1613433 directly replace 1607065 in existing assemblies? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, contact configuration, mounting type, environmental rating, and operating temperature range. The fastening mechanism difference (Push-Twist versus Threaded) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference? A: The main part uses threaded fastening, while the substitute uses Push-Twist fastening. Both methods provide secure mechanical connection. Push-Twist fastening in the 1613433 offers simplified assembly without requiring rotational torque application.

Q: Are there any material or environmental differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts use identical shell material (Gadolinium-Zinc), housing color (Silver), insert material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6), and operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Both maintain IP67 ingress protection and shielded design.

Q: Why is 1607065 marked as Last Time Buy? A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued this product line. Phoenix Contact 1613433 represents the active equivalent within the SM series, ensuring continued availability for future applications.

Q: Are contact pins included with these housings? A: No. Both parts are receptacle housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements? A: Yes. Both 1607065 and 1613433 are RoHS Compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).
