Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1636473 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: HEAVYCON® M
• Connector Type: Module without Contacts
• Gender: Male
• Number of Positions: 17
• Termination Style: Crimp
• Contact Type: CK 1.6-ED
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage Rating: May be lower than the original 250V specification
• Current Rating: May be specified in substitute parts
• Product Status: Active substitutes are preferred for obsolete parts
• Color: May differ from original specification
• Packaging: May vary from original
• RoHS Compliance Level: May be updated to newer standards (ROHS3)

The substitute part 1414356 maintains all mandatory parameters while offering an active product status and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1414356 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1636473 within the HEAVYCON® M series. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including connector type, gender, position count, termination method, and contact geometry.

The substitute part 1414356 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The component maintains full compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and meets current RoHS3 standards, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new installations and system upgrades.

The voltage rating reduction from 250V to 160V in the substitute part reflects the specific electrical design of the active variant. Applications operating at or below 160V will experience no functional limitation. The specified current rating of 14A in the substitute part provides explicit electrical performance documentation.

Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and utilize polycarbonate housing with unlimited moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1414356 directly replace the 1636473 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are male modules with 17 crimp positions in the HEAVYCON® M series. They share identical mechanical interfaces, contact geometry (CK 1.6-ED), and termination specifications. The housing material, flammability rating, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 250V and 160V?

A: The voltage ratings reflect the electrical design specifications of each component variant. The 1414356 is rated for 160V operation. Applications requiring operation above 160V would need to evaluate alternative solutions. Applications at or below 160V will function without limitation.

Q: Does the color difference (gray in the substitute) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The gray color in the 1414356 is a cosmetic specification of the active product variant.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original 1636473 was supplied without specified packaging. The substitute 1414356 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and handling procedures but not component functionality.

Q: What does the updated RoHS3 compliance in the substitute part mean?

A: ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard for restriction of hazardous substances. The substitute part meets this updated compliance requirement, making it suitable for applications with current regulatory requirements. Both components are RoHS compliant.

Q: Is the 14A current rating in the substitute part a limitation?

A: The 14A specification in the 1414356 provides explicit current-carrying capacity documentation. The original 1636473 did not specify a current rating. This documented specification in the substitute part supports design verification and system validation.
