Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1773080 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Series compatibility: HEAVYCON® A3
• Connector type and gender: Insert, Male
• Size designation: D7
• Termination method: Screw
• Voltage rating: 600V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Contact material and finish: Copper Alloy with Silver finish
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The Phoenix Contact 1585210 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these core parameters. While the 1585210 introduces enhanced specifications (increased current rating and additional ground position), it maintains full backward compatibility with the electrical and mechanical requirements of the 1773080 within the HEAVYCON® A3 ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1585210 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1773080. Selection of the 1585210 is supported by the following engineering factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the RoHS Compliant status of the original part
• Identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications within the HEAVYCON® A3 series guarantee form, fit, and function compatibility
• Enhanced current rating (24A versus 10A) provides operational margin for existing circuit designs
• Polycarbonate housing material maintains UL94 V-0 flammability certification while offering improved material properties
• Identical operating temperature range and contact specifications ensure thermal and electrical performance parity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1585210 directly replace the 1773080 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical series designation (HEAVYCON® A3), size (D7), gender (Male), termination method (Screw), voltage rating (600V), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1585210 maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the additional ground position in the 1585210?

A: The 1585210 provides a dedicated ground position in addition to the three standard positions. This feature does not prevent substitution; the additional position remains available for use or can be left unconnected in applications requiring only three positions.

Q: How do the housing materials differ between these parts?

A: The 1773080 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon, while the 1585210 uses Polycarbonate (PC). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the -40°C to 125°C operating range. Polycarbonate offers enhanced impact resistance and material stability.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 1585210 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 1585210's 24A current rating is a specification enhancement that does not compromise compatibility with circuits designed for the 1773080's 10A rating. The substitute part operates safely within the original design parameters.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1773080 packaging specification is not provided. The 1585210 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences to consider?

A: The 1585210 carries ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected designations, representing current regulatory compliance standards. The 1773080 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 1585210 aligns with current regulatory requirements for new designs and ongoing production.
