Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1687448 has one direct substitute within the HEAVYCON® BB10 series: part number 1584774. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Series: HEAVYCON® BB10
• Connector Type: Insert without Contacts
• Gender: Male
• Size: B6
• Termination Style: Crimp
• Voltage Rating: 500V
• Current Rating: 16A
• 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 Compliance: Required

The substitute part 1584774 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and enhanced position configuration (10+Ground).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1584774 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1687448. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (500V, 16A), mechanical specifications (B6 size, crimp termination), and environmental compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS compliant). The primary distinction is product status: 1584774 is active and currently manufactured, while 1687448 is obsolete.

The 1584774 incorporates a 10+Ground position configuration compared to the standard 10-position design of 1687448. This enhanced grounding capability provides additional design flexibility while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing HEAVYCON® BB10 series assemblies. Both parts utilize identical contact types (CK 2.5-ED) and housing materials (Polycarbonate PC), ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

For new designs and field replacements, the 1584774 is the recommended selection due to its active manufacturing status and continued availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1584774 directly replace the 1687448 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (500V, 16A), mechanical dimensions (B6 size), termination method (crimp), and contact specifications (CK 2.5-ED). The 1584774 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the 1687448.

Q: What is the difference between the 10-position and 10+Ground configurations?

A: The 1584774 includes a dedicated ground position in addition to the 10 standard signal positions, providing enhanced grounding capability. The 1687448 contains 10 standard positions without a dedicated ground contact. Both configurations use the same B6 housing size and crimp termination system.

Q: Why is the 1687448 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1687448 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1584774 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® BB10 series and is the recommended component for procurement and new designs.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are RoHS compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). Moisture sensitivity levels are equivalent (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1687448 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1584774 is available in bulk packaging, which is typical for active production components.
