Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1773352 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Series: HEAVYCON® HV6 system compatibility
• Connector Type: Insert configuration
• Gender: Male insert
• Position Count: 6+2+Ground configuration
• Current Rating: 16A minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper Alloy with Silver finish
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The primary variable in substitute selection is the termination style, which may differ from the original screw termination while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. Housing material may also vary within the same series while preserving connector interface compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1407740 serves as a direct functional substitute for the 1773352 within HEAVYCON® HV6 connector systems. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (16A current rating, -40°C to 125°C operating range) and comply with the same regulatory standards (RoHS, UL94 V-0).

The primary distinction is termination methodology: the 1773352 employs screw termination while the 1407740 utilizes push-in termination. This difference affects installation procedures but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the HV6 series interface.

The 1407740 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1773352. Housing material differs (Polycarbonate versus Polyamide), both meeting identical flammability and environmental specifications.

Selection between these components should be based on termination preference and installation methodology requirements specific to the application. Both are suitable for industrial environments requiring heavy duty connector performance across the specified temperature and current parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1407740 directly replace the 1773352 in existing HEAVYCON® HV6 assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are male inserts within the HEAVYCON® HV6 series with identical position counts (6+2+Ground), current ratings (16A), and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The connector interface remains compatible. Installation methodology differs due to termination style variation (screw versus push-in).

Q: What is the significance of the termination style difference?

A: Termination style determines the wire connection method. Screw termination (1773352) requires wire insertion into a terminal followed by screw tightening. Push-in termination (1407740) allows direct wire insertion without additional fastening. Both achieve equivalent electrical connection quality and current carrying capacity.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are RoHS Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings. Electrical and environmental performance specifications are identical.

Q: Does housing material affect connector performance?

A: Housing material does not affect electrical performance or current carrying capacity. Both Polyamide (PA) and Polycarbonate (PC) materials meet identical flammability and environmental specifications for this application. Material selection may influence mechanical durability in specific environmental conditions, but both are suitable for the stated -40°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: Why is the 1773352 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 1407740 represents the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability for system maintenance and new designs.
