Phoenix Contact 1687875 Male Insert 10 Position Tension Clamp - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1687875 is a male insert connector for the HEAVYCON® B10 heavy duty connector series, featuring 10 positions with tension clamp termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates within a 600V electrical environment and maintains performance across the -40°C to 125°C temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1687875 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® B10 series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the connector system.
• Connector Type and Gender: Male insert configuration is required to maintain the same mating interface.
• Size Classification: B10 size designation ensures physical compatibility with existing housings and mating components.
• Voltage and Temperature Ratings: The substitute must meet or exceed the 600V voltage rating and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
• Housing and Contact Materials: Polycarbonate housing with copper alloy contacts and silver finish provide the baseline material specification.
• Flammability and Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating and RoHS compliance are mandatory for regulatory alignment.

The Phoenix Contact 1407730 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it introduces a termination style change from tension clamp to push-in and adds a ground position (10+Ground), it maintains all critical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications required for functional equivalence within the HEAVYCON® B10 system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407730 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1687875 insert. Selection of the 1407730 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1407730 maintains active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 1687875 obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance. The 1407730 carries ROHS3 compliance designation, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are unaffected by REACH requirements.

Electrical and Thermal Performance: The 1407730 meets the 600V voltage requirement and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature specification. The addition of a 13A current rating specification on the 1407730 provides explicit electrical performance documentation.

Material and Construction Consistency: Polycarbonate housing, copper alloy contacts with silver finish, and B10 size classification ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within existing HEAVYCON® B10 connector assemblies.

Termination Methodology: The transition from tension clamp to push-in termination represents a design evolution within the HEAVYCON® B10 series. Push-in termination provides simplified installation methodology while maintaining equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1407730 directly replace the 1687875 in existing assemblies?

A: The 1407730 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a substitute within the HEAVYCON® B10 series. Both parts share identical size classification (B10), voltage rating (600V), temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), housing material (polycarbonate), and contact specifications (copper alloy with silver finish). The primary difference is termination style (push-in versus tension clamp) and the addition of a ground position on the 1407730.

Q: What is the significance of the 10+Ground position configuration on the 1407730?

A: The 1407730 incorporates a dedicated ground position in addition to the 10 standard signal positions. This configuration provides explicit grounding capability within the connector insert. System design must accommodate this additional position in mating connector housings and wiring harnesses.

Q: Are there compatibility considerations for termination style differences?

A: The 1687875 uses tension clamp termination, while the 1407730 uses push-in termination. Both termination methods are standard within the HEAVYCON® B10 series and provide equivalent electrical performance. Installation procedures differ; push-in termination typically requires less specialized tooling than tension clamp methods.

Q: Does the 1407730 meet the same regulatory requirements as the 1687875?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance. The 1407730 carries ROHS3 designation, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts are REACH unaffected. Regulatory alignment is equivalent for industrial applications.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The 1687875 does not specify a current rating in available documentation. The 1407730 specifies a 13A current rating. This specification on the 1407730 provides explicit electrical performance documentation for circuit design purposes.

Q: Is the 1407730 available in the same packaging as the 1687875?

A: The 1687875 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1407730 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.
