Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1414367 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Module without Contacts
• Gender: Female
• Number of Positions: 6
• Termination Style: Crimp
• Contact Type: CK 2.5-ED
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Series: HEAVYCON® M

Electrical Parameter Differences: The 1414367 provides enhanced electrical performance with a 500V voltage rating and 24A current rating, compared to the original part's 600V and 16A specifications. These differences represent improved current handling capacity while maintaining compatibility within the HEAVYCON® M connector ecosystem.

Product Status Advantage: The 1414367 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 1663462 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1414367 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1663462 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical material flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity classifications, ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are preserved.

Functional Compatibility: The substitute part maintains identical connector architecture, gender configuration, position count, termination methodology, and contact type specifications. These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability within HEAVYCON® M connector assemblies.

Product Lifecycle Status: The 1414367 is an active product with current manufacturer support, eliminating supply chain risk associated with obsolete components.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part provides enhanced current-carrying capacity (24A versus 16A), which represents a performance improvement for applications operating within the 500V voltage specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1414367 directly replace the 1663462 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, gender, position count, termination style, contact type, operating temperature range, housing material, and flammability rating. These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® M series.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (600V versus 500V)?

A: The original part specifies 600V while the substitute specifies 500V. Application voltage requirements must not exceed 500V for the substitute part. If the application requires 600V operation, this substitute is not appropriate.

Q: Does the increased current rating (24A versus 16A) affect compatibility?

A: No. The higher current rating of the substitute part represents enhanced capacity and does not create compatibility issues. Applications requiring 16A or less operate within the substitute part's specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is unspecified, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes should account for this difference.

Q: Is the gray color of the 1414367 significant for compatibility?

A: Color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The gray color of the substitute part is a cosmetic difference only.
