Phoenix Contact 1458884 Circular Connector T-Adapter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1458884 is a circular connector distributor T-shaped adapter configured as 4/4 (2) Male Pins/Female Sockets (1), Male Pins (1) in free hanging (in-line) mounting. This M12 B-coded connector operates at 4A, 60V with IP65/IP67 ingress protection and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The part is currently obsolete with 1071 units in stock. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1458884 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector style: Distributor T-shaped configuration
• Shell size: M12
• Orientation: B-coded
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Shielding: Shielded

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Current rating: Minimum 4A
• Voltage rating: Minimum 60V
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -25°C ~ 80°C

Regulatory & Compliance Requirements:

• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Ingress protection: IP65 minimum

The Phoenix Contact 1458884 lists part number 1424711 as a substitute. This relationship is based on matching the core mechanical and electrical parameters within the SAC series while accommodating position count variation (4/4 to 5/5) and material differences that do not compromise functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1424711

The 1424711 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1458884. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility (M12 B-coded, free hanging in-line mounting, threaded fastening) and core electrical specifications (4A current rating, 60V voltage rating). The 1424711 offers an extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C versus -25°C ~ 80°C) and maintains equivalent regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3 Compliant).

The primary difference is position count (5/5 versus 4/4), which represents a functional enhancement rather than a limitation. The 1424711 is currently active in production with 928 units in stock, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Material composition differs (Zinc Die Cast versus Polyurethane), but both materials satisfy the same ingress protection and flammability requirements. The 1424711 provides dual housing color options (Black, Silver) compared to the single Black option of the 1458884.

For applications requiring exact 4-position configuration, the 1424711 remains compatible as the additional position does not compromise existing 4-position wiring schemes. For new designs, the 1424711 is the recommended selection due to active product status and enhanced specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424711 directly replace the 1458884 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical M12 B-coded shell size, orientation, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. The 1424711 supports the required 4A current rating and 60V voltage rating. The additional 5th position in the 1424711 does not interfere with 4-position applications.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference (4/4 versus 5/5)?

A: Position count refers to the number of contact positions available in the connector. The 1458884 provides 4 positions; the 1424711 provides 5 positions. Existing 4-position wiring harnesses remain fully compatible with the 1424711, as the additional position remains unused. New designs may utilize the additional position for expanded functionality.

Q: Are there material compatibility concerns between Polyurethane and Zinc Die Cast housings?

A: No. Both materials achieve the same ingress protection rating (IP65 minimum) and flammability classification (UL94 V-0). Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Zinc Die Cast provides enhanced durability in certain environmental conditions.

Q: Does the 1424711 meet the same regulatory requirements as the 1458884?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The 1424711 is REACH Unaffected, while the 1458884 is REACH Affected; however, both satisfy applicable regulatory frameworks for their respective markets.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 1424711 is currently active in production with 928 units in stock. The 1458884 is obsolete with 1071 units remaining in inventory. For new procurements, the 1424711 is the recommended selection.

Q: Is the extended operating temperature range of the 1424711 (-25°C ~ 85°C) a critical advantage?

A: The extended range provides additional margin for applications operating near the upper temperature limit. For applications within the original -25°C ~ 80°C range, both parts perform identically. For applications approaching 80°C, the 1424711 offers enhanced thermal headroom.
