Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1679359 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Module
• Gender: Female
• Number of Positions: 2
• Termination Style: Screw
• Series: HEAVYCON® M
• Voltage Rating: 600V minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Silver
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part must maintain compatibility with existing mechanical and electrical interfaces while meeting or exceeding the original specifications. Current rating may exceed the original specification without compromising substitution validity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1417387 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 1679359 connector. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters, including connector type, gender, position count, termination method, voltage rating, temperature range, and material composition.

The 1417387 offers the following advantages for component selection:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Current rating of 55A exceeds the original 40A specification, providing additional capacity margin
• ROHS3 compliance represents an updated regulatory status relative to the original RoHS Compliant designation
• REACH Affected status indicates full regulatory documentation for European market applications

Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical performance within the specified operating parameters, confirming direct substitution compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1417387 be used as a direct replacement for the 1679359?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, gender, position count, termination style, voltage rating, temperature range, housing material, contact material, and contact finish. The 1417387 is rated for higher current (55A versus 40A), which does not prevent substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the 1417387?

A: The 55A rating on the 1417387 exceeds the original 40A specification. This higher capacity does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility and provides additional operational margin for the application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1679359 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1417387 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory iteration. Both parts meet the same material restriction requirements for this connector category.

Q: Why is the 1679359 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1417387 serves as the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability for applications requiring this connector type.

Q: Are the connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are female modules with 2 positions, screw termination, and identical housing materials. They maintain the same mechanical interface and mounting compatibility.
