Phoenix Contact 1586950 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1586950 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M25 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 suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1586950 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be M25 for proper installation and sealing
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact

The substitute part 1412881 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412881 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1586950. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating range. The 1412881 provides superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing. The substitute maintains full RoHS compliance (ROHS3 standard) and is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The minimal dimensional variance (1mm height difference) does not impact standard installation practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412881 be used as a direct replacement for the 1586950?

A: Yes. Both components are Phoenix Contact heavy duty connectors with identical B24 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration, and -40°C to 125°C operating range. The 1412881 provides enhanced ingress protection and is actively manufactured.

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

A: The 1586950 provides IP65 (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412881 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). Applications requiring higher environmental sealing benefit from the 1412881.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: The height dimension differs by 1mm (67mm versus 68mm). This variance is within standard installation tolerances for box mount applications and does not affect connector interface compatibility.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1586950 is listed with unspecified packaging. The 1412881 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the 1412881 maintain the same locking mechanism?

A: Yes. Both components use a single locking clip located on the base bottom, ensuring identical installation and retention characteristics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1586950 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412881 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory standards.
