Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1653155 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: Both ends must be Modular Jack 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Shielding requirement: Shielded construction mandatory
• Category rating: Cat6 minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating required

Environmental & Compliance Criteria:

• Operating temperature range must encompass or match the original specification
• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) acceptable

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1086108 meets all functional equivalence criteria and maintains compliance requirements, though with material composition differences in housing and contact substrates that remain within acceptable electrical and mechanical tolerances for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1086108 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1653155 model. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in material composition: the 1653155 employs ABS housing with copper alloy contacts, while the 1086108 utilizes zinc alloy housing with steel contacts. Both maintain gold plating on contact surfaces and shielded construction for Cat6 Ethernet applications.

The operating temperature range of the 1086108 (-25°C ~ 70°C) is narrower than the original part (-40°C ~ 70°C). Selection of the 1086108 is appropriate for applications where the minimum operating temperature requirement does not fall below -25°C.

The 1086108 is currently in active production status with documented inventory availability, making it the preferred selection for new designs and legacy system replacements where temperature specifications align with application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1086108 directly replace the 1653155 in all applications?

A: The 1086108 is functionally equivalent for applications operating within the -25°C to 70°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation below -25°C require alternative solutions, as the 1086108 does not meet the original part's lower temperature specification.

Q: What are the material differences between these two parts?

A: The 1653155 features ABS plastic housing with copper alloy contacts, while the 1086108 uses zinc alloy housing with steel contacts. Both maintain gold plating on contact surfaces. These material differences do not affect electrical performance for Cat6 Ethernet applications within specified operating conditions.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 1653155 and 1086108 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the 1653155 listed as Obsolete?

A: The 1653155 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1086108 represents the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for system maintenance and new implementations.

Q: What is the significance of the shielded construction?

A: Shielded construction on both parts provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, which is essential for maintaining Cat6 signal integrity in networked environments with potential RF interference sources.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1653155 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1086108 is available in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same functional specifications and connector interface.
