Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1407728 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1648131 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical Specifications:

• Identical voltage rating (600V) and current rating (13A)
• Same connector type (Insert), gender (Male), and position count (6+Ground)
• Identical size designation (B6) and termination method (Push In)
• Matching operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• Identical contact material (Copper Alloy) and finish (Silver)
• Same flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both components are designed for the HEAVYCON® B6 series system
• Push-in termination style ensures mechanical interchangeability

Compliance Differences:

• 1407728 carries active product status versus obsolete status of 1648131
• 1407728 meets ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected designation
• Housing material differs (Polycarbonate vs. Polyamide) but maintains equivalent electrical and mechanical performance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407728 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the 1648131. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters including voltage, current, temperature range, and connector geometry.

The 1407728 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The component meets current regulatory requirements with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, supporting modern procurement standards.

The housing material change from Polyamide to Polycarbonate does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability within the HEAVYCON® B6 system. Both materials maintain the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support the full operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the 1407728 a direct replacement for the 1648131? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V, 13A), mechanical specifications (B6 size, 6+Ground positions, push-in termination), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within HEAVYCON® B6 connector systems.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts? A: The 1648131 uses Polyamide (PA/Nylon) housing, while the 1407728 uses Polycarbonate (PC). Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and support the full operating temperature range. The material change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1648131 listed as obsolete? A: The 1648131 has reached end-of-life status. The 1407728 represents the current active equivalent from Phoenix Contact for this connector insert configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: The 1407728 meets ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status, representing current regulatory standards. The 1648131 carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both components maintain equivalent environmental and safety certifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing installations? A: Yes. The identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and termination method ensure direct interchangeability in HEAVYCON® B6 connector assemblies.
