Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1773132 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Series compatibility: HEAVYCON® HS6
• Connector type: Insert
• Gender: Female
• Size: B16
• Termination style: Screw
• Voltage rating: 600V minimum
• Current rating: 35A minimum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Contact material and finish: Copper Alloy with Silver finish
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The substitute part 1406530 meets all these criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced compliance certifications. The primary difference is the addition of a ground position (6+Ground) and a change in housing material from Polyamide to Polycarbonate, both of which are compatible with the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1406530 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1773132. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (600V, 35A), thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C), and mechanical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® HS6 series. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 1406530 provides enhanced regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, compared to the original part's RoHS compliance. The housing material change from Polyamide to Polycarbonate maintains the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and does not compromise electrical or mechanical performance.

The addition of a ground position in the substitute part (6+Ground versus 6) provides functional enhancement without affecting backward compatibility in applications where the ground connection is not utilized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1406530 directly replace the 1773132 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions (B16 size), and termination method (screw). The HEAVYCON® HS6 series design ensures physical and electrical compatibility. The additional ground position in the 1406530 does not prevent installation in applications designed for the 6-position original part.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material change from Polyamide to Polycarbonate?

A: Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Polycarbonate offers enhanced impact resistance and environmental stability. This change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Why is the 1773132 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 1406530 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® HS6 series and should be specified for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1406530 carries ROHS3 and REACH unaffected certifications, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The substitute part meets or exceeds all compliance requirements of the original.

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

A: The additional ground position provides a dedicated grounding connection, enhancing system safety and noise immunity in industrial applications. In applications requiring only 6 signal positions, the ground position remains available for optional use without affecting the primary connector function.
