Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1628506 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle housing for female sockets
• Number of positions: 8 (7 + PE)
• Shell size: M17-8
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount, right angle
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Ingress protection: IP67/IP68
• Orientation: Normal (N)
• Shell material: Metal
• RoHS compliance: Compliant
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact

Substitution Logic: The 1628506 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical position count, shell size, mounting geometry, and contact interface specifications. Both connectors support the same M17-8 circular connector standard and panel-mount right-angle configuration. The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1628506 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 1620451. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and support identical mechanical and electrical interfaces for M17-8 circular connector applications.

Key Considerations:

The substitute part operates within a reduced maximum temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation above 105°C must retain the original 1620451 specification or identify alternative solutions.

The 1628506 features unshielded construction compared to the shielded design of the 1620451. EMI-sensitive applications must evaluate whether the removal of shielding affects system performance.

Fastening mechanism differs: the original uses push-twist fastening while the substitute employs threaded fastening. Panel mount geometry and flange configuration remain compatible.

The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP67/IP68 versus IP67) and specified electrical ratings (14A at 630V), supporting broader application flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1628506 directly replace the 1620451 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for M17-8 panel-mount right-angle applications. Verify operating temperature requirements do not exceed 105°C and confirm that unshielded construction is acceptable for your application.

Q: What is the impact of the fastening type change from push-twist to threaded?

A: Both fastening methods secure the connector to the panel through the flange-mounted configuration. The threaded mechanism provides alternative engagement, but panel cutout and mounting hole specifications remain compatible.

Q: Does the removal of shielding affect signal integrity?

A: The 1620451 includes shielding while the 1628506 is unshielded. Applications transmitting high-frequency or noise-sensitive signals must evaluate whether shielding removal introduces unacceptable EMI coupling.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for the substitute part?

A: The 1628506 is classified as active product status with 1101 pieces in stock, ensuring supply continuity. The original 1620451 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1115 pieces).

Q: What electrical specifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1628506 is rated for 14A continuous current and 630V maximum voltage. Verify these ratings meet or exceed your application requirements.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The original 1620451 operates from -40°C to 125°C. The substitute 1628506 operates from -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the original part or identify alternative solutions.
