Phoenix Contact 1620001 Circular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1620001 is a 17-position circular connector receptacle housing designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with push-twist fastening. This M23-17 shell size component features crimp contacts, shielding, and IP67 ingress protection, operating across -40°C to 125°C. Currently classified as Last Time Buy, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for design continuity and long-term supply chain planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1620001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Shell size and position count (M23-17)
• Connector type classification (receptacle vs. plug housing)
• Contact type and size (crimp, 1.0mm)
• Mounting configuration (free-hanging, in-line)
• Material composition (gadolinium-zinc shell, polyamide insert)
• Shielding requirement (shielded)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Fastening mechanism (push-twist vs. threaded)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67 minimum acceptable)
• Operating temperature range (provided substitute operates -40°C to 105°C)
• Product status (active vs. last time buy)

The substitute part 1629110 maintains all core compatibility parameters while introducing fastening type variation (threaded vs. push-twist) and enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP68 vs. IP67).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1629110 serves as an active substitute for the 1620001 based on the following engineering criteria:

Supply Continuity: The 1620001 is designated Last Time Buy, making the 1629110 essential for ongoing production and field service applications. The 1629110 maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1146 pcs).

Regulatory Compliance: Both components are RoHS Compliant and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and export documentation.

Functional Compatibility: Both connectors maintain M23-17 shell size, 17-position configuration, crimp contact specification, and shielded design. The connector type difference (receptacle vs. plug housing) reflects mating pair requirements and does not affect individual component selection when paired with corresponding counterparts.

Environmental Performance: The 1629110 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP68) compared to the 1620001 (IP67), suitable for applications requiring superior dust and water resistance. Operating temperature range reduction (-40°C to 105°C vs. -40°C to 125°C) requires verification against specific application thermal requirements.

Mechanical Interface: Fastening type variation (threaded vs. push-twist) represents a design change requiring mechanical validation in the assembly context. Both fastening mechanisms are standard for M23 circular connectors and do not affect electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1629110 directly replace the 1620001 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical replacement requires validation of the fastening mechanism change from push-twist to threaded. Electrical and environmental performance are equivalent. Mechanical integration testing is necessary before production implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the connector type difference (receptacle vs. plug)?

A: Connector type designates the mating pair role. The 1620001 receptacle mates with a plug connector, while the 1629110 plug mates with a receptacle. Selection depends on the mating connector type in the application. Both are M23-17 standard components.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting the 1629110?

A: The 1629110 operates to 105°C maximum, compared to 1620001 at 125°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C require alternative component selection or thermal management review.

Q: Do both parts use identical contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both components use 1.0mm crimp contacts with identical contact type and size, ensuring electrical compatibility with existing contact assemblies and mating interfaces.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these components?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Contact specifications note that contacts are not included; crimp contacts must be sourced separately and are compatible between both housing types.

Q: Is the enhanced ingress protection of the 1629110 a requirement for substitution?

A: No. The 1629110 provides IP66/IP68 protection versus the 1620001 IP67 rating. Enhanced protection does not create incompatibility; however, applications designed for IP67 minimum should verify that the higher rating does not introduce unintended design changes.
