Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1663459 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Module without Contacts, Male configuration
• Position Count: 6 positions
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Type: CK 2.5-ED compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® M

The substitute part 1414366 maintains identical specifications across these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® M connector ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1414366 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1663459 based on maintained mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® M series. Both components share identical connector architecture, position count, termination methodology, and contact specifications.

The 1414366 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the original part. The substitute maintains equivalent operating temperature range and flammability certification (UL94 V-0), ensuring compliance with existing system requirements.

The 1414366 demonstrates enhanced current rating capacity (24A versus 16A) and updated RoHS3 compliance status, representing a specification advancement over the original part. The voltage rating differential (500V versus 600V) reflects the substitute's design parameters and does not preclude substitution in applications operating within the 500V threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1414366 replace the 1663459 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, position configurations, and contact type specifications (CK 2.5-ED). The HEAVYCON® M series design ensures compatibility between these male 6-position crimp modules.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 1663459 is rated for 600V while the 1414366 is rated for 500V. Substitution is appropriate for applications operating at or below 500V. Applications requiring 600V operation must retain the original specification.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 1414366 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 24A rating of the 1414366 represents enhanced capacity compared to the 16A rating of the 1663459. This does not compromise compatibility; it indicates improved performance capability within the same mechanical envelope.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1663459 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 1414366 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are identical in form factor and connector specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute?

A: The 1414366 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability certification and is ROHS3 compliant. It is also REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety standards for industrial connector applications.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 1663459 is classified as obsolete by Phoenix Contact. The 1414366 represents the current active product offering within the HEAVYCON® M series for this connector configuration, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.
