Phoenix Contact 1884115 Heavy Duty Connector Contact – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1884115 is a stamped crimp socket contact designed for heavy-duty connector applications within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-ER series. This component is rated for 16-20 AWG wire gauges with silver contact finish and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally compatible substitute parts is essential for maintaining system continuity and ensuring reliable connector assembly in applications where this contact was originally specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 1884115 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must belong to the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-ER series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector system.
• Contact Type: Socket configuration is required to maintain the intended mating interface.
• Termination Method: Crimp termination must be preserved for consistent assembly and performance.
• Wire Gauge Range: The substitute wire gauge range must overlap or be compatible with the original 16-20 AWG specification. The substitute part 1004366 operates within 14-16 AWG, which provides partial overlap at the 16 AWG boundary.
• Contact Finish: While the original part specifies silver finish and the substitute uses nickel silver finish, both are conductive materials suitable for heavy-duty applications. The contact finish difference reflects material availability in active product lines.
• Compliance Status: The substitute must maintain equivalent or superior RoHS and environmental compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1004366 is the identified substitute for the obsolete 1884115 contact. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

• Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-ER series, ensuring mechanical fit and electrical performance within the connector system.
• Active Product Status: The 1004366 is an active product line component, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 1884115.
• Enhanced Compliance: The 1004366 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the original part, ensuring compatibility with current regulatory requirements.
• Wire Gauge Overlap: The 14-16 AWG range of the 1004366 overlaps with the upper boundary of the 1884115 specification (16-20 AWG) at 16 AWG, permitting substitution for applications utilizing 16 AWG conductors.
• Contact Finish Compatibility: Nickel silver finish provides equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for heavy-duty connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1004366 substitute for the 1884115 in all applications?

A: The 1004366 is suitable for applications using 16 AWG wire. Applications requiring 17-20 AWG wire gauges fall outside the 1004366 specification range and require alternative solutions.

Q: What is the difference between silver and nickel silver contact finishes?

A: Both finishes provide conductive surfaces suitable for heavy-duty connectors. Silver offers slightly higher conductivity, while nickel silver provides enhanced corrosion resistance. For the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-ER series, both finishes are electrically compatible.

Q: Why is the 1884115 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 1004366 represents the active product line equivalent within the same series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1884115 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1004366 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for active production contacts.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 1004366 affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance is a regulatory certification that exceeds RoHS Compliant status. The 1004366 remains fully compatible with systems designed for RoHS Compliant components.

Q: What wire gauges can each contact accommodate?

A: The 1884115 accommodates 16-20 AWG wire. The 1004366 accommodates 14-16 AWG wire. Substitution is valid only for 16 AWG applications where both specifications overlap.
