Phoenix Contact 1586798 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1586798 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M20 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1586798 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be base - box mount with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 size class
• Thread Size: M20 thread specification
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum rating (equal or higher protection levels acceptable)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The substitute part 1412844 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional features including salt water resistance and feed-through capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412844 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1586798. Both components share identical core specifications: B10 size, M20 thread, side entry configuration, and -40°C to 125°C operating range. The 1412844 is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains RoHS compliance.

The 1412844 provides enhanced environmental protection with IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings compared to the IP65 specification of the original part, making it suitable for applications requiring higher ingress protection levels. The addition of salt water resistance and feed-through features in the newer HEAVYCON® EVO series represents a design evolution without compromising backward compatibility for standard applications.

Selection of the 1412844 is supported by its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412844 directly replace the 1586798 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (base - box mount), style (side entry), size (B10), thread size (M20), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412844 provides equal or superior performance in all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1586798 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412844 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). Higher IP ratings indicate enhanced environmental sealing and are compatible with applications originally specified for IP65.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1586798 measures 3.661" L × 2.047" W × 2.047" H (93.00mm × 52.00mm × 52.00mm). The 1412844 measures 3.622" L × 2.047" W × 2.150" H (92.00mm × 52.00mm × 54.60mm). These differences are within tolerance for standard box mount applications but should be verified for space-constrained installations.

Q: Why is the 1586798 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1586798 belongs to the HEAVYCON® B series, which has been superseded by the HEAVYCON® EVO series (represented by the 1412844). Phoenix Contact has transitioned product lines to the newer generation, which offers enhanced features including improved ingress protection and salt water resistance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1586798 and 1412844 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1586798 is available in standard packaging. The 1412844 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and logistics considerations.
