Phoenix Contact 1408339 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1408339 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood for side entry applications with PG16 thread size, designed for IP65/IP66 dust-tight and water-resistant environments. This connector is part of the HEAVYCON® series and features a polycarbonate housing with operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

The 1408339 has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new installations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1408339 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Connector Type: Hood configuration
• Style: Side Entry orientation
• Ingress Protection: IP65/IP66 rating for dust and water resistance
• Series: HEAVYCON® product family
• Lock Location: Locking Clip on Base Bottom
• RoHS Compliance: Environmental regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1012581 maintains the core functional characteristics of a side-entry hood connector within the HEAVYCON® series with equivalent ingress protection. However, substitution requires evaluation of thread size compatibility (PG16 vs. M25), housing material differences (Polycarbonate vs. Polyamide), and dimensional variations, as these parameters differ between the main part and substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1012581 is an active product substitute for the obsolete 1408339. Both connectors share the HEAVYCON® series designation, side-entry configuration, and equivalent locking mechanisms. The 1012581 provides enhanced environmental compliance through ROHS3 certification and extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C).

Critical differences exist in thread size specification (M25 versus PG16) and housing material composition (Polyamide/Nylon versus Polycarbonate). These differences require mechanical compatibility verification within the target installation environment. The 1012581 features a 90° connector orientation and achieves IP66 rating, compared to the 1408339's IP65/IP66 dual rating.

Selection of the 1012581 as a substitute is appropriate for applications where M25 thread compatibility exists and the enhanced temperature range and material properties provide system benefits. Mechanical mounting and thread compatibility must be confirmed before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1012581 directly replace the 1408339 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of thread size compatibility. The 1408339 uses PG16 threading while the 1012581 uses M25 threading. Mechanical mounting interfaces must be evaluated to confirm compatibility with existing cable glands and panel cutouts.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include thread size (PG16 vs. M25), housing material (Polycarbonate vs. Polyamide/Nylon), connector orientation (standard vs. 90°), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C vs. -40°C to 125°C). Both maintain side-entry configuration, HEAVYCON® series designation, and equivalent locking mechanisms.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1408339 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1012581 is ROHS3 Compliant, indicating alignment with current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What ingress protection ratings do these connectors provide?

A: The 1408339 provides IP65/IP66 protection (dust-tight and water-resistant). The 1012581 provides IP66 protection (dust-tight and water-resistant). Both ratings are suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Q: Does the 1012581 support a wider operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The 1012581 operates from -40°C to 125°C, compared to the 1408339's -40°C to 100°C range, providing 25°C additional high-temperature capability.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1012581 is available in Bulk packaging, with 1041 pieces in current stock.
