Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of Phoenix Contact 1648254 with part number 1407732 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the HEAVYCON® B16 series
• Connector Type and Gender: Both are male insert connectors
• Position Configuration: Both feature 16+Ground position arrangement
• Size Designation: Both are B16 size
• Termination Method: Both utilize push-in termination
• Electrical Ratings: Both maintain 600V voltage rating and 13A current rating
• Temperature Range: Both operate across -40°C to 125°C
• Contact Specifications: Both use copper alloy contacts with silver finish
• Flammability Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard
• Environmental Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and MSL 1

The primary distinction between these parts is the housing material composition and product status. Part 1407732 represents the active production equivalent with updated material specifications and enhanced compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1407732 is the designated active production equivalent for obsolete part 1648254. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B16 connector system, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring male 16+Ground position push-in inserts rated for 600V and 13A operation.

The transition from part 1648254 to 1407732 reflects standard product lifecycle management. Part 1407732 carries active product status with current manufacturing support and enhanced compliance documentation, including ROHS3 certification and explicit REACH Unaffected status. The housing material change from polyamide to polycarbonate represents a material specification update while maintaining equivalent mechanical and thermal performance across the specified -40°C to 125°C operating range.

Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Selection of part 1407732 for new designs and replacement applications ensures access to current production inventory and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1407732 directly replace part 1648254 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are male inserts within the HEAVYCON® B16 series with identical position configuration (16+Ground), termination method (push-in), electrical ratings (600V, 13A), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

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

A: Part 1648254 uses polyamide (PA) nylon housing, while part 1407732 uses polycarbonate (PC) housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and maintain equivalent performance across the specified operating temperature range. The material change reflects manufacturing updates and does not affect connector functionality or compatibility within the HEAVYCON® B16 system.

Q: Why is part 1648254 classified as obsolete?

A: Part 1648254 has reached end-of-life status in Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. Part 1407732 represents the active production equivalent and is the recommended component for all new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. Part 1407732 carries ROHS3 certification and explicit REACH Unaffected status, reflecting current regulatory documentation standards. Part 1648254 is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 classification. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What packaging is available for part 1407732?

A: Part 1407732 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 900 pieces available in current inventory.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature copper alloy contacts with silver finish, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability across the 13A current rating and 600V voltage specification.
