Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1607927 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Position Configuration: Receptacle housing for male pins with 6-position arrangement (2 + 3 Power + PE)
  • Shell Size & Contact Specifications: M40-6 shell size with matching contact sizes (2.0mm and 3.6mm Power)
  • Mounting & Orientation: Panel mount, right-angle configuration with flange mounting feature
  • Environmental Rating: IP67 ingress protection (dust-tight, waterproof)
  • Electrical & Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range -40°C ~ 125°C, RoHS compliance
  • Mechanical Interface: Shielded design with rotatable backshell and crimp contact type

The substitute part 1620663 maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters while differing in fastening mechanism (Threaded vs. Push-Twist) and shell material composition (Metal vs. Gadolinium-Zinc).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1620663 serves as the active production equivalent to the 1607927. Both components maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications within the SM series circular connector family.

The primary distinction between these parts is the fastening mechanism: the 1607927 employs push-twist fastening, while the 1620663 uses threaded fastening. This difference affects installation and removal procedures but does not impact electrical performance or environmental sealing characteristics.

The 1620663 is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements due to its Active product status. The 1607927, classified as Last Time Buy, has limited availability and should be reserved for legacy system maintenance where push-twist fastening is specifically required.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature ranges, ensuring regulatory and thermal compatibility across substitution scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1620663 directly replace the 1607927 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. The fastening mechanism differs (threaded vs. push-twist), which may require adjustment to panel mounting procedures but does not affect connector function or sealing performance.

Q: Are there differences in contact compatibility between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact specifications: 2.0mm contacts (quantity 2) and 3.6mm power contacts (quantity 4). Existing contact assemblies are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the 1607927?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has ceased production. The 1607927 remains available in current inventory but will not be replenished. The 1620663 is the active production alternative.

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

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant, rated IP67 for ingress protection, and operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 949 units of 1607927 and 1068 units of 1620663 available as new original stock.
