Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1622662 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute parts:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Series: SUNCLIX (same connector series maintains mechanical and electrical interface compatibility)
• Category: Photovoltaic (Solar Panel) Connectors (same application category)
• Type: Male Coupler (same connector gender and function)
• Wire Gauge Range: 10 ~ 14 AWG (identical conductor accommodation)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant (regulatory requirement maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (same environmental rating)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1050770 meets all primary substitution criteria. The keying designation differs (Minus versus Non-Keyed), which represents a design evolution within the SUNCLIX series. The substitute part is in active production status, providing long-term availability and support compared to the obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1050770 is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete 1622662. Selection of the 1050770 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1050770 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term component availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity. The 1622662 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant certification and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings, ensuring compliance with environmental and reliability standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The 1050770 retains the same wire gauge accommodation (10 ~ 14 AWG), connector type (Male Coupler), and series designation (SUNCLIX), ensuring functional equivalence in photovoltaic connector applications.

Design Evolution: The keying designation change from Non-Keyed to Minus represents a design refinement within the SUNCLIX series. This variant maintains backward compatibility within the series while providing enhanced connector reliability features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1050770 directly replace the 1622662 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical wire gauge ranges (10 ~ 14 AWG), connector type (Male Coupler), series designation (SUNCLIX), and regulatory compliance ratings. The 1050770 is the manufacturer-designated substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the keying difference between the two parts?

A: The main part (1622662) is Non-Keyed, while the substitute (1050770) is designated as Minus. This represents a design variant within the SUNCLIX series. Both maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility within the series.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The 1622662 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (997 Pcs). The 1050770 is in active production with greater availability (1149 Pcs). For new designs and long-term applications, the 1050770 is the appropriate selection.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent performance in photovoltaic applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 1050770 is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for production and assembly environments.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two connectors?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both connectors are rated for identical wire gauge ranges and are designed for the same photovoltaic connector applications within the SUNCLIX series.
