Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1773129 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® HS6 series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Connector Type & Gender: Insert type, male gender configuration required
• Size Classification: B16 size designation must be maintained
• Termination Method: Screw termination required for installation compatibility
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 600V and current rating of 35A must be met or exceeded
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum requirement
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper alloy with silver finish ensures electrical performance consistency
• Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating and RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1406531 meets all these criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced position configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1406531 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1773129. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HEAVYCON® HS6 series, including voltage, current, temperature range, and termination methodology.

The 1406531 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Enhanced Configuration: Includes a dedicated ground position (6+Ground) in addition to the standard 6 positions, providing improved grounding capability
• Updated Compliance: ROHS3 compliant status reflects current regulatory requirements, with REACH affected designation noted
• Material Upgrade: Polycarbonate housing provides alternative material properties while maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The housing material difference (Polyamide to Polycarbonate) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1406531 directly replace the 1773129 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V, 35A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), termination style (screw), and mechanical size (B16). The 1406531 maintains full compatibility within HEAVYCON® HS6 series applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "6+Ground" position configuration in the 1406531?

A: The additional ground position provides a dedicated grounding contact separate from the six standard signal or power positions. This configuration enhances system grounding architecture without affecting the core electrical specifications or mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Does the housing material change from Polyamide to Polycarbonate affect performance?

A: No. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain the same operating temperature range. The material change does not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the specified application parameters.

Q: Why is the 1773129 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued manufacturing this component. The 1406531 represents the current active alternative within the HEAVYCON® HS6 series, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1406531 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation, reflecting current regulatory standards. The 1773129 is RoHS compliant. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 1406531 represents the updated compliance profile for this component category.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1773129 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1406531 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production and inventory management requirements.
