Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1687914 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® B24 series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the connector system.
• Connector Type and Gender: Male insert configuration is required to maintain functional equivalence.
• Size Designation: B24 size classification ensures physical compatibility with mating connectors and housing assemblies.
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 600V rating is required to meet or exceed the electrical specifications of the original component.
• Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must support the -40°C to 125°C operating window.
• Housing and Contact Materials: Polycarbonate housing with copper alloy silver-finished contacts ensures electrical performance and environmental resistance.
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating must be maintained.

The Phoenix Contact 1407736 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it features push-in termination rather than tension clamp termination and includes a ground position (24+Ground), it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements within the HEAVYCON® B24 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407736 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1687914 component. Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings, operating temperature ranges, and material specifications within the HEAVYCON® B24 series framework. The 1407736 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and support from the manufacturer.

The primary functional difference between these components is the termination method: the original 1687914 uses tension clamp termination, while the 1407736 employs push-in termination. This distinction affects installation procedures but does not compromise electrical or mechanical compatibility within the connector system. The 1407736 additionally provides a dedicated ground position and specifies a 13A current rating, both of which enhance system performance characteristics.

Both components maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, satisfying regulatory and safety requirements for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1407736 be used as a direct replacement for the 1687914 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are male inserts within the HEAVYCON® B24 series with identical voltage ratings, operating temperature ranges, and material specifications. The primary consideration is the termination method difference: tension clamp versus push-in. Existing mating connectors and housing assemblies designed for B24 inserts will accommodate the 1407736.

Q: What is the significance of the "24+Ground" position designation on the 1407736?

A: The 1407736 includes a dedicated ground position in addition to the 24 standard signal positions. This feature provides a separate grounding path and does not prevent compatibility with systems designed for 24-position inserts, as the additional ground position is supplementary.

Q: Does the push-in termination of the 1407736 affect compatibility with tension clamp-based wiring systems?

A: Termination style is a wire connection method specific to the insert itself and does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility with mating connectors. Systems using the 1687914 with tension clamp termination can transition to the 1407736 with push-in termination; however, wiring procedures and tooling requirements will differ.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the 1687914 and 1407736?

A: Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance. The 1407736 specifies ROHS3 compliance, which represents a current regulatory standard. Both parts satisfy equivalent safety and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the current rating specification for the 1407736?

A: The 1407736 is rated for 13A continuous current. The original 1687914 does not specify a current rating in available documentation. The 13A rating of the 1407736 establishes a defined electrical capacity for system design purposes.

Q: Is the 1407736 available in the same packaging as the 1687914?

A: The 1407736 is supplied in bulk packaging. Original packaging specifications for the 1687914 are not provided in available documentation. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility.
