Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 1884186 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR connector system:

• Series Compatibility: Substitute parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR series to ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance within the connector housing.
• Contact Type: Socket configuration with stamped construction is required to maintain assembly compatibility.
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is mandatory for consistent wire attachment and electrical continuity.
• Contact Finish: Silver finish ensures equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Wire Gauge Range: The substitute part's wire gauge range must accommodate the intended application wire sizes. Overlapping or equivalent gauge ranges are acceptable.
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance status ensures regulatory alignment for applicable markets and applications.

The Phoenix Contact 1004381 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters, with the primary consideration being wire gauge range adjustment from 20-26 AWG to 17-22 AWG.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1004381 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1884186 within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR connector series. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical characteristics with respect to series compatibility, socket configuration, stamped construction, crimp termination, and silver contact finish.

The primary distinction is wire gauge range: the 1884186 accommodates 20-26 AWG, while the 1004381 accommodates 17-22 AWG. Applications utilizing wire sizes within the 20-22 AWG overlap range can use the 1004381 as a direct substitute. Applications requiring 23-26 AWG wire accommodation must evaluate alternative solutions within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR series.

Both parts are RoHS compliant and suitable for regulated applications. The 1004381 carries Active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 1884186.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1004381 replace the 1884186 in all applications?

A: The 1004381 is a functional substitute for applications using wire gauges within the 20-22 AWG range. Applications requiring 23-26 AWG wire sizes must use alternative parts rated for those gauges within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR series.

Q: Are both parts mechanically compatible with the same connector housing?

A: Yes. Both the 1884186 and 1004381 are socket contacts designed for the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR series and share identical mechanical interfaces with the connector housing.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: Wire gauge range defines the acceptable conductor cross-sectional area for crimp termination. The 1004381's 17-22 AWG range overlaps with the 1884186's 20-26 AWG range in the 20-22 AWG band. Wire sizes outside this overlap require parts specifically rated for those gauges.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1004381 carries EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. The 1884186 is marked as OBSOLETE for ECCN purposes. For regulated applications, verify that the 1004381's classification meets your specific requirements.

Q: Why is the 1884186 obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The 1004381 is the active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® CK 1.6-BR series and is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
