Phoenix Contact 1679469 Heavy Duty Connector Insert - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1679469 is a male insert without contacts for the HEAVYCON® D15 heavy duty connector series. This component is designed for 15-position plus ground crimp termination applications with a 250V voltage rating and 10A current capacity. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The substitute part maintains functional equivalence while offering active product status and improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1679469 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Form Factor: HEAVYCON® D15 series designation and D15 size classification
• Electrical Specifications: 250V voltage rating and 10A current rating
• Contact Configuration: 15-position plus ground arrangement with CK 1.6-ED contact type
• Termination Method: Crimp termination style
• Gender & Function: Male insert without contacts
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance
• Operating Range: -40°C to 125°C temperature specification

The substitute part 1584376 meets all these criteria, with the exception of housing material composition (polyamide/nylon versus polycarbonate). This material difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® D15 connector system, as both materials satisfy the same flammability and environmental standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1584376

The 1584376 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1679469. Both parts are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® D15 connector series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The housing material difference (polyamide/nylon versus polycarbonate) represents a material upgrade within the same performance class. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability certification and maintain full RoHS compliance. This substitution does not introduce any compatibility issues with existing HEAVYCON® D15 connector assemblies, as the insert form factor, contact configuration, and electrical ratings remain unchanged.

For applications currently using the 1679469, direct replacement with 1584376 is supported without design modification or re-qualification requirements, provided the original application specifications align with the stated electrical and environmental parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1584376 be used as a direct replacement for the 1679469 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are male inserts for the HEAVYCON® D15 series with identical position counts (15+Ground), termination style (crimp), electrical ratings (250V, 10A), and contact types (CK 1.6-ED). The housing material difference does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance within the connector system.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material change from polycarbonate to polyamide?

A: Both materials meet the same UL94 V-0 flammability standard and RoHS compliance requirements. Polyamide (nylon) housing provides equivalent environmental protection and mechanical durability for the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). This represents a material optimization rather than a performance reduction.

Q: Why is the 1679469 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions based on market demand, production efficiency, or product line consolidation. The 1584376 serves as the active replacement within the same product family.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1679469 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 1584376 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 1679469 and 1584376 carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification and RoHS compliance status. Both are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited shelf life).

Q: Can I use the 1584376 in new designs?

A: Yes. The 1584376 is an active product with full technical support and supply availability. It is suitable for new HEAVYCON® D15 connector implementations requiring 15-position plus ground male inserts with crimp termination.
