Phoenix Contact 1636790 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1636790 is a heavy duty hood connector featuring top entry, dual configuration with M25 thread size and B16 contact arrangement. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1636790 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with top entry, dual arrangement
• Size Designation: B16 contact size (equivalent to 16B designation in alternative manufacturer nomenclature)
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size for panel mounting
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating (dust tight, water resistant)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Construction: Aluminum die cast with powder coat finish
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance requirement

The HARTING 19300160466 meets all these substitution criteria, maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the original Phoenix Contact specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HARTING 19300160466 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1636790. Selection is based on:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical connector type, style, size designation, and thread interface
• Environmental Compliance: Both parts maintain IP65 ingress protection and -40°C to 125°C operating range
• Regulatory Alignment: HARTING part exceeds RoHS requirements with ROHS3 compliance; Phoenix Contact part is RoHS compliant
• Product Availability: HARTING 19300160466 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support
• Mechanical Compatibility: Dimensional variance of 0.5mm in length is within tolerance for panel-mount applications with M25 threading

The HARTING part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the Phoenix Contact 1636790 was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes HARTING 19300160466 a valid substitute for Phoenix Contact 1636790?

A: Both connectors share identical functional specifications: hood connector type, top entry dual configuration, M25 thread size, B16/16B contact size, IP65 ingress protection, and -40°C to 125°C operating range. Mechanical mounting interfaces and electrical performance parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The HARTING part measures 94.60mm in length versus 94.00mm for the Phoenix Contact part—a 0.5mm difference. Width and height dimensions are identical at 43.00mm and 76.00mm respectively. This minimal variance does not affect panel mounting or connector mating.

Q: Does the HARTING substitute meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant (HARTING exceeds this with ROHS3 compliance), carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share the same HTSUS code. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Why is the Phoenix Contact part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The HARTING 19300160466 provides functional continuity for applications requiring this connector specification.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing installations?

A: Yes, provided the application accommodates the 0.5mm length difference. The identical M25 thread size, locking clip configuration, and contact arrangement ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
