Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1636923 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Module without Contacts, Male configuration
• Position Count: 20 positions
• Termination Method: Crimp termination
• Contact Type: CK 2.5-ED compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1414372 meets all these core criteria. While voltage and current ratings differ, the substitute maintains compatibility with the same contact type, position count, termination style, and environmental specifications. The substitute is classified as active product status, making it the appropriate choice for applications requiring this connector configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1414372 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1636923. Both components share identical mechanical and environmental specifications, including connector type, position count, termination method, contact type, operating temperature range, housing material, and flammability rating.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The 1414372 maintains ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The voltage rating of the substitute is 500V compared to 600V in the original part, while the current rating increases to 17.5A from 16A. These electrical parameter variations remain within the HEAVYCON® M series design envelope and do not compromise mechanical or environmental compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1414372 directly replace 1636923 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, gender, position count, termination style, contact type, operating temperature range, housing material, and flammability rating. The mechanical interface and environmental performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between these parts?

A: The 1636923 is rated at 600V while the 1414372 is rated at 500V. Application voltage requirements must not exceed 500V when using the substitute part. Both ratings are within industrial heavy-duty connector standards.

Q: Does the current rating increase from 16A to 17.5A affect compatibility?

A: No. The higher current rating of the substitute part indicates improved current-carrying capacity and does not create compatibility issues. Applications requiring 16A or less will operate within the substitute's specifications.

Q: Why is product status important in this substitution?

A: The original part 1636923 is obsolete, meaning Phoenix Contact no longer manufactures or supports it. The substitute 1414372 is active, ensuring long-term availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1636923 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 1414372 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are new original stock from Phoenix Contact.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity specifications. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory requirements, while the original part carries RoHS compliance.
