Phoenix Contact 1676789 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1676789 is a female module without contacts for heavy duty connectors, part of the HEAVYCON® M series. This component features 4 crimp positions with a 50V voltage rating and 1.5A current capacity, designed for applications requiring robust electrical connections in industrial environments.

The 1676789 is classified as obsolete. Identifying suitable substitute parts is essential for maintaining system compatibility and ensuring continued availability for repair, maintenance, and new installations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 1676789 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® M series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Connector Type: Module without contacts configuration must be maintained
• Number of Positions: 4-position requirement must be preserved
• Termination Style: Crimp termination is mandatory for compatibility
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (50V) and current (1.5A) ratings must be met or exceeded
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C specification must be supported
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC) construction ensures mechanical compatibility
• Compliance Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance must be maintained

The substitute part 1417371 meets all these criteria. However, it differs in gender configuration (male instead of female), which represents a functional distinction rather than a direct one-to-one replacement. This part is suitable for applications where the complementary gender connector is required within the same HEAVYCON® M ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1417371 is the identified substitute for the obsolete 1676789. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HEAVYCON® M series, including voltage rating, current capacity, operating temperature range, and flammability compliance.

The primary distinction is gender configuration: 1676789 is female while 1417371 is male. This difference is significant for connector pairing and must be evaluated against system requirements. The 1417371 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the 1676789 is obsolete.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory and safety standard adherence. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1417371 directly replace the 1676789 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement depends on connector pairing requirements. The 1417371 is male while the 1676789 is female. If the application requires a female module, the 1417371 cannot serve as a direct replacement. If a male module is needed, the 1417371 is compatible based on all electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage rating (50V), current rating (1.5A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and number of positions (4). Both use crimp termination and polycarbonate housing.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1676789 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 1417371 is in active production with confirmed inventory. For new designs or long-term availability requirements, the 1417371 should be specified where gender compatibility permits.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1676789 was supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The 1417371 is available in bulk packaging.
