Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1773378 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Insert without Contacts (functional form factor)
• Gender: Male (interface orientation)
• Position Configuration: 6+2+Ground (electrical and mechanical layout)
• Size Designation: B16 (physical envelope)
• Termination Style: Crimp (connection method)
• Contact Type: CK 2.5-ED (contact specification)
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (material compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (thermal performance)
• Compliance Standards: UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant (regulatory requirements)

The substitute part 1405262 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1405262 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 1773378. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® HV6 series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. The primary distinction is product status: 1405262 is active and carries higher inventory availability (1071 units versus 732 units), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity. Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance mandates. Selection of 1405262 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring the 6+2+Ground position male insert configuration with crimp termination in the B16 size envelope.
