Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1604104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Hood)
• Connection style (Top Entry)
• Size designation (B6)
• Thread size (M25)
• Lock mechanism (Screw Locks on Hood)
• Ingress protection rating (IP66/IP68/IP69K)
• Housing material and finish (Aluminum, Die Cast, Powder Coated)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1420900 maintains full equivalence across all these parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and improved moisture sensitivity classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1420900 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 1604104. Both components share identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, ingress protection rating, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance.

The 1420900 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The moisture sensitivity level classification of 1 (Unlimited) on the 1420900 provides enhanced handling flexibility compared to the Not Applicable designation on the 1604104.

The minor dimensional difference in height (93.70mm versus 100.00mm) reflects a design refinement in the active product line and does not affect functional compatibility within the HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1420900 directly replace the 1604104 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1420900 maintains full functional equivalence across all critical parameters including connector type, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, and operating temperature range. Both components are manufactured from identical materials with identical finishes and both comply with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the height dimension difference between these parts?

A: The 1604104 measures 100.00mm in height while the 1420900 measures 93.70mm. This 6.30mm reduction represents a design optimization in the active product line. Verify that this dimensional change accommodates your specific installation space requirements before selection.

Q: Why is the 1604104 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1604104 has been superseded by the 1420900 within the Phoenix Contact product portfolio. The 1420900 provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status and improved supply availability.

Q: Are there any differences in salt water resistance between these parts?

A: Both the 1604104 and 1420900 feature salt water resistant properties. This characteristic is maintained across the HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.

Q: What does the moisture sensitivity level classification mean?

A: The 1420900 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling. The 1604104 lists MSL as Not Applicable. For applications with specific moisture control requirements, the 1420900 offers clearer handling specifications.
