Phoenix Contact 1607842 Circular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1607842 is a 12-position circular connector receptacle housing designed for panel mount, right-angle applications with a rotatable backshell. This component features a shielded M23-12 shell configuration with crimp contacts and IP67 ingress protection. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The substitute part 1069329 represents the active-status equivalent within the Phoenix Contact product portfolio.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between Phoenix Contact 1607842 and 1069329 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Configuration: Both parts are 12-position receptacle housings with M23-12 shell size and female socket termination
  • Mechanical Interface: Identical panel mount, right-angle mounting with flange and threaded fastening
  • Electrical Termination: Both utilize crimp contact technology with matching shell material (Gadolinium-Zinc) and insert material (Polyamide PA66)
  • Orientation: Both maintain N (Normal) orientation specification
  • Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with EAR99 ECCN classification

The primary distinction lies in product status transition from obsolete (1607842) to active (1069329), with corresponding differences in ingress protection rating and operating temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1069329 is the designated active-status substitute for obsolete part 1607842. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for M23-12 12-position circular connector receptacle housings with panel mount, right-angle configuration.

Selection of 1069329 is appropriate for applications requiring:

  • Continued supply chain access through active product status
  • RoHS compliance certification
  • EAR99 export classification alignment
  • M23-12 shell size and 12-position female socket configuration
  • Panel mount, right-angle installation geometry

Applications requiring the specific shielding characteristics of 1607842 (shielded configuration) should verify electromagnetic compatibility requirements against the unshielded design of 1069329. Operating temperature range differences (-20°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 105°C) should be evaluated against specific thermal environment specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1069329 directly replace 1607842 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is confirmed through matching M23-12 shell size, 12-position configuration, panel mount right-angle mounting, threaded fastening, and crimp contact termination. Shielding differences (shielded versus unshielded) and operating temperature ranges require application-specific verification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include product status (obsolete versus active), shielding configuration (shielded versus unshielded), ingress protection rating (IP67 versus IP66/IP68), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 105°C). All mechanical interfaces and core electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both Phoenix Contact 1607842 and 1069329 are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the significance of the shielding difference?

A: Part 1607842 features shielded construction while 1069329 is unshielded. Applications requiring electromagnetic interference mitigation should confirm that unshielded design meets system-level EMC requirements.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: Part 1607842 operates from -20°C to 125°C, while 1069329 operates from -40°C to 105°C. Applications operating at temperatures above 105°C or below -40°C require specific thermal environment verification against part specifications.

Q: What packaging is available for part 1069329?

A: Part 1069329 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1072 pieces available in new original stock.
