Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1771228 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Series and Form Factor: HEAVYCON® B10 series, male insert connector
• Electrical Specifications: 600V voltage rating and minimum 15A current rating
• Mechanical Configuration: 10-position screw termination
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C
• Contact Materials: Copper alloy with silver finish

The substitute part 1648173 maintains all critical parameters while offering enhanced current capacity and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1648173 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1771228. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V, 10-position configuration), mechanical form factor (B10 series, screw termination), and environmental specifications (UL94 V-0, -40°C to 125°C operating range).

The 1648173 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced Current Capacity: 16A rating exceeds the original 15A specification, providing additional design margin
• Improved Housing Material: Polycarbonate with glass filling provides enhanced mechanical durability compared to standard polyamide
• Current Compliance: ROHS3 certification reflects current regulatory requirements

The housing material difference (polycarbonate glass-filled versus polyamide) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® B10 series form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1648173 be used as a direct replacement for the 1771228 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (600V, 10-position), mechanical configuration (B10 series, screw termination), and environmental ratings (UL94 V-0, -40°C to 125°C). The 1648173 is mechanically and electrically compatible.

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

A: The 1648173 provides 1A additional current capacity. This represents an enhancement and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original 15A specification.

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

A: The 1771228 uses polyamide (PA) nylon, while the 1648173 uses polycarbonate (PC) with glass filling. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain the same B10 form factor. The glass-filled polycarbonate offers improved mechanical strength. No compatibility issues arise from this material change within the HEAVYCON® series.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of RoHS regulations with updated substance restrictions. The 1648173 meets current regulatory standards, while the 1771228 meets earlier RoHS requirements. Both are compliant with their respective regulatory frameworks.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1771228 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1648173 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Is the 1648173 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The 1648173 is an active product with current manufacturer support, making it the appropriate choice for new designs requiring HEAVYCON® B10 male 10-position screw insert connectors.
