Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1677063 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Must be Insert type, Male gender
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® A16 series maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Position Configuration: 16-position base requirement; 16+Ground configuration is acceptable as it maintains the 16 primary positions with additional ground capability
• Size: D25 form factor must be maintained
• Termination Style: Screw termination required
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper alloy with silver finish ensures electrical performance consistency
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance required
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute must meet or exceed voltage and current specifications

The Phoenix Contact 1585333 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters while offering enhanced electrical ratings and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1585333 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1677063 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 1585333 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 1677063 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 1585333 carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status, representing current regulatory alignment. The 1677063 holds RoHS compliance but lacks current regulatory documentation.

Electrical Performance: The 1585333 provides enhanced electrical ratings (600V vs. 250V, 19A vs. 16A), ensuring compatibility with systems designed for the original part while offering margin for higher-demand applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical form factor (D25), connector type (Insert), gender (Male), termination style (Screw), and series designation (HEAVYCON® A16), ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability.

Position Configuration: The 1585333 adds a ground position while maintaining the 16 primary signal positions, providing enhanced grounding capability without compromising existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1585333 directly replace the 1677063 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical form factor, connector type, gender, size, and termination style within the HEAVYCON® A16 series. The 1585333 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the 1677063.

Q: What is the significance of the 16+Ground position configuration in the 1585333?

A: The additional ground position provides dedicated grounding capability. Existing 16-position designs remain compatible; the ground position is supplementary and does not interfere with primary signal connections.

Q: Why does the 1585333 have higher voltage and current ratings?

A: The 1585333 represents a current-generation design within the same series, incorporating improved contact geometry and materials that support enhanced electrical performance. These higher ratings ensure compatibility with the original part's specifications while providing operational margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1677063 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1585333 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component selection; packaging choice depends on procurement and inventory requirements.

Q: What housing material difference exists between these parts?

A: The 1677063 uses polyamide (PA/Nylon) housing, while the 1585333 uses polycarbonate (PC). Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support the identical operating temperature range. Polycarbonate offers enhanced impact resistance and environmental stability.

Q: Is the 1585333 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The 1585333 is active product status with current regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH affected), making it the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production.
