Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1772243 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Series: HEAVYCON® D7
• Connector Type: Insert without Contacts
• Gender: Male
• Size: D7
• Termination Style: Crimp
• Contact Type: CK 1.6-ED
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Number of Positions: May increase (7 to 7+Ground) without affecting base functionality
• Voltage Rating: May decrease from 600V to 250V depending on application requirements
• RoHS Status: May upgrade from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active parts preferred over obsolete

The Phoenix Contact 1584334 qualifies as a substitute based on these criteria, with the primary difference being the addition of a ground position and a reduction in voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1584334 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1772243 within the HEAVYCON® D7 series. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 1584334 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1772243.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification. The 1584334 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an upgrade from the RoHS Compliant status of the 1772243.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute maintains identical current rating (10A), contact type (CK 1.6-ED), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), housing material (Polyamide/Nylon), and termination method (Crimp). The D7 size and male gender remain unchanged.

Design Considerations: The 1584334 provides an additional ground position (7+Ground versus 7 positions). Applications requiring exactly 7 positions without ground functionality must evaluate whether the additional ground position creates mechanical or electrical conflicts within the connector assembly. The voltage rating reduction from 600V to 250V requires verification that the application voltage requirements do not exceed 250V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1584334 directly replace the 1772243 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility exists for the D7 connector interface, contact type, and termination method. However, the additional ground position in the 1584334 requires confirmation that the mating connector cavity layout accommodates this configuration. Voltage rating verification is mandatory if the original application operates above 250V.

Q: What is the significance of the 7+Ground position difference?

A: The 1584334 includes a dedicated ground position in addition to the seven signal positions. This affects the physical pin layout and requires compatibility with the mating connector insert. Applications using only seven positions may leave the ground position unused without functional impact, provided the connector housing supports this configuration.

Q: Why does the voltage rating differ between these parts?

A: The 1772243 is rated for 600V while the 1584334 is rated for 250V. This difference reflects the design specifications of each insert variant. Applications operating at voltages between 250V and 600V cannot use the 1584334 as a substitute.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1772243 carries RoHS Compliant status, and the 1584334 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet RoHS requirements; the 1584334 represents a more recent compliance standard.

Q: What is the current availability status of each part?

A: The 1772243 is obsolete with 1100 pieces in stock. The 1584334 is active with 1015 pieces in stock, providing ongoing availability for new designs and field replacements.

Q: Are the contact types identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the CK 1.6-ED contact type, ensuring compatibility with the same contact pin specifications and crimp termination tooling.
