Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1771037 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Form Factor: HEAVYCON® B6 series, male insert configuration
• Electrical Specifications: 600V voltage rating and current capacity at or above 15A
• Mechanical Interface: 6-position screw termination, B6 size designation
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range -40°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Specifications: Silver-plated copper alloy contacts
• Regulatory Status: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part 1648115 maintains equivalence across all critical parameters while offering an active product status and enhanced current rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1648115 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1771037. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B6 series, with the substitute offering an active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 1648115 provides a 1A increase in current rating (16A versus 15A), representing a performance enhancement that does not compromise backward compatibility. The housing material differs (polycarbonate glass-filled versus polyamide), with both materials meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintaining the same operating temperature range.

Regulatory compliance is equivalent, with both parts meeting RoHS requirements and maintaining MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute's ROHS3 compliance status reflects current regulatory alignment. REACH status applicability on the substitute does not affect functional equivalence for standard industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1648115 directly replace the 1771037 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are HEAVYCON® B6 series male inserts with 6-position screw termination, identical voltage and temperature ratings, and equivalent contact specifications. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (15A vs. 16A)?

A: The 1648115 provides a 1A higher current capacity, which represents a performance improvement. This does not create compatibility issues when substituting into applications designed for the 1771037, as the substitute meets or exceeds all original specifications.

Q: How do the housing materials differ, and does this affect substitution?

A: The 1771037 uses polyamide (PA) nylon housing, while the 1648115 uses polycarbonate (PC) glass-filled material. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1771037 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1648115 provides a direct functional equivalent with active product status, ensuring ongoing availability for new designs and system maintenance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1771037 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1648115 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean compared to standard RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations. Both parts meet RoHS requirements; the substitute reflects updated regulatory alignment without affecting functional equivalence.
