Phoenix Contact 1628352 Photovoltaic Connector – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1628352 is a male coupler connector designed for photovoltaic (solar panel) applications within the SUNCLIX series. This component is classified as Obsolete and is no longer in active production. The connector accommodates 10 ~ 14 AWG wire gauges and features a non-keyed design for standard coupling applications.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing replacement units for new designs or field replacements requires identification of active equivalent components that maintain functional compatibility with existing photovoltaic systems. The substitute part identified below provides continuity for applications requiring male coupler connectors in the SUNCLIX product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1628352 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Male Coupler configuration required for mating with female receptacles in SUNCLIX systems
• Series Compatibility: SUNCLIX series designation ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility within the photovoltaic connector ecosystem
• Keying Configuration: Non-keyed design maintains compatibility with existing non-keyed mating interfaces
• RoHS Compliance: Both components meet RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling

Wire Gauge / Cross-Section Consideration: The main part (1628352) specifies 10 ~ 14 AWG wire gauge. The substitute part (1133365) specifies 2.5mm² ~ 6.0mm² cross-section. These specifications represent different measurement systems for the same functional parameter—wire conductor size. The substitute part's cross-section range (2.5mm² ~ 6.0mm²) is equivalent to approximately 14 ~ 10 AWG, providing direct functional equivalence for wire termination applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs: The Phoenix Contact 1133365 is the designated active substitute for the obsolete 1628352. This component maintains full functional equivalence across all critical parameters: connector type, series designation, keying configuration, and wire gauge specifications. The 1133365 carries active product status and is manufactured to current RoHS compliance standards, making it the appropriate selection for new photovoltaic connector applications within the SUNCLIX family.

For Field Replacements: When replacing obsolete 1628352 connectors in existing installations, the 1133365 provides direct functional substitution. Both components share identical connector type, series, and keying characteristics. The wire gauge specifications are equivalent when converted between AWG and metric cross-section measurements (10 ~ 14 AWG ≈ 2.5mm² ~ 6.0mm²).

Compliance and Certification: Both components maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The 1133365 carries ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8535.90.8040, indicating standard commercial export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1133365 directly replace the 1628352 in existing photovoltaic systems?

A: Yes. Both components are male coupler connectors within the SUNCLIX series with identical keying and connector type specifications. The wire gauge specifications are functionally equivalent (10 ~ 14 AWG versus 2.5mm² ~ 6.0mm²), ensuring compatibility with existing wire termination requirements.

Q: What is the difference between 10 ~ 14 AWG and 2.5mm² ~ 6.0mm² specifications?

A: These represent the same wire conductor size range expressed in different measurement systems. AWG (American Wire Gauge) and metric cross-section (mm²) are alternative standards for specifying wire diameter. The 1628352 uses AWG notation while the 1133365 uses metric notation; both accommodate the same range of wire sizes for connector termination.

Q: Why is the 1628352 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1628352 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact and is no longer in active production. The 1133365 represents the current active equivalent within the SUNCLIX product line.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these components?

A: The 1628352 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1133365 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect functional compatibility; it reflects current manufacturing and distribution practices for the active substitute.

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

A: Yes. Both the 1628352 and 1133365 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent environmental performance and handling requirements.

Q: Can the 1133365 be used in new photovoltaic connector designs?

A: Yes. The 1133365 is the active product and is the appropriate selection for all new designs requiring male coupler connectors in the SUNCLIX series. Its active product status ensures ongoing availability and support.
