1663420

What type of component is this?

This is a turned 1.6 mm female crimp contact designed for use with compatible Phoenix Contact heavy-duty connector inserts. It provides a removable electrical termination between a conductor and the connector insert.

Which conductor sizes can this crimp contact accept?

It accepts conductors with a cross-sectional area from 0.75 mm² to 1.00 mm² and is specified for AWG 18 conductors.

What connection method does it use?

The contact uses a crimp connection. The conductor is mechanically crimped into the contact before the assembled contact is inserted into a compatible connector insert.

Is this a male or female contact?

Phoenix Contact 1663420 is an individual female contact, also commonly described as a socket contact.

What material is the contact made from?

The contact body is manufactured from copper alloy, providing suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical strength for industrial connector applications.

What surface finish does the contact have?

The contact has a silver-plated surface. The silver finish supports reliable electrical contact when used with the correct mating component.

What wire stripping length is required?

The specified stripping length is 8 mm. Correct stripping and crimping help prevent exposed conductor strands and ensure the wire is properly seated.

Which connector inserts are compatible with this contact?

The contact is intended for compatible HC-M-12, HC-M-EMC, HC-D, HC-DD and VC-D connector inserts that accept CK 1.6 ED female crimp contacts. Connector series, contact type and conductor size should all be checked before installation.

Can it be used with HEAVYCON connector inserts?

Yes. It is listed as a compatible contact for several HEAVYCON inserts, including selected HC-DD and HC-K configurations that use CK 1.6 ED control contacts.

What operating temperature range is specified?

The stated operating ambient temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. The complete connector assembly and its application conditions must also remain within their specified ratings.

How many insertion and withdrawal cycles is it rated for?

The contact is specified for at least 500 insertion and withdrawal cycles when fitted and used with the appropriate connector components.

Does installation require a dedicated crimping tool?

A suitable crimping tool for turned CK 1.6 ED contacts should be used. Compatible tooling includes the CRIMPFOX-1,6/2,5-ED-4,0 and other approved tools designed for this contact series.

Can the contact be removed from a connector insert?

Yes. A compatible contact removal tool, such as one intended for CK 1.6 contacts, can be used to release the fitted contact from its insert without relying on improvised tools.

How is crimp connection quality assessed?

For the specified connector insert families, crimp connection quality is determined in accordance with DIN EN 60352-2. Correct conductor preparation, tooling and crimp dimensions are essential.

What is the typical pack quantity?

The manufacturer’s historical commercial data lists a standard pack quantity of 100 contacts. Actual supplied quantities may depend on how the item is stocked or packaged.
