Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1636897 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Module, Female configuration
• Position Count: 1 position
• Termination Method: Screw termination
• Voltage Rating: 600V minimum
• Current Rating: Must support application requirements
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper Alloy with Silver finish
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C

The substitute part 1417379 maintains compatibility across all structural and material specifications. The primary distinction is the current rating differential and active product status, which affects availability and long-term support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1417379 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1636897 within applications where the 146A current rating is sufficient. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical voltage specifications, material compositions, and environmental certifications. The 1417379 maintains active product status within the Phoenix Contact catalog, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Selection between these components depends on application current requirements. The 1636897 supports 200A operation, while the 1417379 is rated for 146A. For applications operating below 146A, the 1417379 provides equivalent performance with the advantage of active product status. For applications requiring the full 200A capacity, alternative solutions within the HEAVYCON® M series must be evaluated.

Both components comply with RoHS regulations and UL94 V-0 flammability standards, meeting industrial safety and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1417379 directly replace the 1636897 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all structural parameters. Substitution is valid provided the application current requirement does not exceed 146A. The screw termination interface, housing dimensions, and contact configuration are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The current rating differs: 1636897 is rated for 200A, while 1417379 is rated for 146A. All other electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 1636897 listed as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects Phoenix Contact's current manufacturing and support decisions. The 1417379 remains in active production and is the recommended path for new designs and replacement inventory.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1636897 and 1417379 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1417379?

A: The 1417379 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1119 pieces available in new original stock.

Q: Do these connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes, both components operate across -40°C to 125°C, providing equivalent thermal performance for industrial applications.
