Phoenix Contact 1647718 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1647718 is a male module connector with 5 positions and tension clamp termination, part of the HEAVYCON® M series. This component is rated for 600V and 16A operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently marked as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitutes must maintain compatibility across electrical ratings, mechanical form factor, and environmental specifications while accounting for termination style differences.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1647718 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Must be HEAVYCON® M module connector
• Gender & Position Count: Male configuration with 5 positions
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 600V; current rating must meet or exceed 16A
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C
• Material & Construction: Polycarbonate housing with copper alloy silver-finished contacts
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1417372 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the termination style differs (push-in versus tension clamp), both configurations maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements within the HEAVYCON® M series. The substitute part exceeds the current rating specification (19A versus 16A) and maintains all other critical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1417372 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1647718. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1417372 maintains active product status with current manufacturer support, whereas the 1647718 is obsolete. This ensures availability and ongoing technical documentation.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance. The 1417372 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment.

Electrical Performance: The 1417372 exceeds the current rating requirement (19A versus 16A specification), providing margin for system reliability. Voltage rating remains equivalent at 600V.

Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range, moisture sensitivity level, and material composition are identical, ensuring thermal and environmental compatibility.

Mechanical Interface: Both components are HEAVYCON® M series male modules with 5 positions. The termination style difference (push-in versus tension clamp) represents a design evolution within the same connector family, with both methods providing equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the series specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1417372 directly replace the 1647718 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are HEAVYCON® M series male modules with 5 positions, identical voltage and temperature ratings, and equivalent contact materials. The primary difference is termination style: the 1417372 uses push-in termination while the 1647718 uses tension clamp. Both termination methods are standard within the HEAVYCON® M series and provide equivalent electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (19A versus 16A)?

A: The 1417372 is rated for 19A, exceeding the 1647718 specification of 16A. This represents improved current-carrying capacity in the substitute part and provides additional design margin for applications operating at or near the original 16A specification.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1417372 carries ROHS3 certification, representing alignment with current regulatory requirements, while the 1647718 carries standard RoHS compliance. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Does the push-in termination of the 1417372 affect compatibility?

A: No. Push-in and tension clamp terminations are both standard connection methods within the HEAVYCON® M series. The termination style selection depends on the mating connector or wire termination method in the specific application, not on compatibility between male and female modules.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 1417372?

A: The 1417372 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 1647718 packaging specification was not provided. Bulk packaging is standard for industrial connector modules and does not affect component functionality or performance.

Q: Why is the 1647718 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions based on market demand, design evolution, or series consolidation. The 1417372 represents the active equivalent within the current HEAVYCON® M product line.
