Phoenix Contact 1613609 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1613609 is a 9-position circular connector receptacle housing designed for male pins with panel mount, right-angle configuration. This component features a M17-9 shell size with mixed contact sizes (0.6mm for signal, 1.0mm for power), IP67 ingress protection, and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1628503 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Identical connector type: Receptacle housing for male pins
• Identical position count: 9 positions (5 + 3 Power + PE)
• Identical shell size: M17-9
• Identical mounting configuration: Panel mount, right angle
• Identical contact termination: Crimp
• Identical fastening orientation: Normal (N)
• Identical shell material: Gadolinium-Zinc
• Identical housing color: Silver
• Equivalent ingress protection: IP67/IP68 (exceeds original IP67)
• Overlapping operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (covers primary operating window)
• Identical RoHS compliance: RoHS Compliant

Substitution Basis: The 1628503 maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the 1613609 across all critical connector parameters. Both components accommodate the same pin configuration, shell geometry, and panel mounting interface. The substitute operates within the lower temperature bound of the original specification and provides enhanced ingress protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1628503 is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete 1613609. Selection of the 1628503 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• Maintained RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment
• Identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications
• Enhanced ingress protection rating (IP67/IP68 vs. IP67)
• Equivalent operating temperature coverage for standard industrial applications

The primary design consideration is the fastening mechanism transition from push-twist to threaded. This change does not affect connector compatibility but requires panel mounting hardware adjustment. The operating temperature upper limit reduction from 125°C to 105°C applies only to applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1628503 directly replace the 1613609 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (M17-9), position count (9), contact configuration (5 + 3 Power + PE), and panel mount geometry. The connector interface is fully compatible. Panel mounting hardware must accommodate the threaded fastening type of the 1628503.

Q: What is the difference between push-twist and threaded fastening?

A: Push-twist fastening (1613609) uses a rotational locking mechanism without external hardware. Threaded fastening (1628503) requires a threaded panel insert or nut for secure mounting. Both methods provide equivalent mechanical security when properly installed.

Q: Does the IP67/IP68 rating of the 1628503 provide additional protection?

A: The 1628503 meets both IP67 and IP68 standards, exceeding the IP67 specification of the 1613609. This provides enhanced dust and water ingress protection. Both ratings are suitable for industrial panel mount applications.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting the 1628503?

A: The 1628503 operates to 105°C maximum, compared to 125°C for the 1613609. For applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C, the temperature specification must be evaluated against actual system requirements.

Q: Is the 1628503 available in the same packaging as the 1613609?

A: The 1628503 is supplied in bulk packaging. Original packaging specifications for the 1613609 are not provided in the technical data. Contact the supplier for packaging requirements specific to your procurement process.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1613609 and 1628503 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
