Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1648144 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Size: HEAVYCON® B6 series designation ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector system
• Gender & Position Configuration: Female insert with 6+Ground position configuration maintains interface compatibility with mating connectors
• Electrical Ratings: 600V voltage rating and 13A current rating must be maintained for safe operation in the intended application
• Termination Method: Push-in termination style ensures compatibility with existing wiring and assembly processes
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C operational envelope must be supported
• Contact Materials & Finish: Copper alloy with silver finish provides equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating ensures equivalent safety certification

The substitute part 1407727 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407727 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1648144. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (600V, 13A), mechanical configuration (6+Ground positions, B6 size, push-in termination), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0).

The substitute part offers the following advantages for component selection:

• Active Product Status: 1407727 is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced Compliance: ROHS3 certification provides updated regulatory compliance compared to the original RoHS designation
• Housing Material Difference: The substitute uses polycarbonate (PC) housing instead of polyamide (PA/Nylon), offering improved mechanical properties while maintaining equivalent electrical performance and flammability ratings

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring HEAVYCON® B6 series female inserts with 6+Ground configuration and push-in termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1407727 be used as a direct replacement for 1648144?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V, 13A), mechanical configuration (6+Ground positions, B6 size), termination method (push-in), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0). The 1407727 is the active equivalent for the obsolete 1648144.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The 1648144 uses polyamide (PA/Nylon) housing, while the 1407727 uses polycarbonate (PC) housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent electrical performance in the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1648144 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1407727 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of 1407727 affect compatibility with existing systems?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance represents an updated regulatory certification and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. The 1407727 is fully compatible with systems designed for the original 1648144.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Verify that your application requires: HEAVYCON® B6 series connector, female insert, 6+Ground position configuration, push-in termination, 600V voltage rating, and 13A current rating. If all parameters match, the 1407727 is a suitable substitute.
