Phoenix Contact 1604146 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604146 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with M25 thread size in the B6 configuration. This component provides IP65/IP68/IP69K ingress protection, making it suitable for dust-tight and waterproof installations across industrial environments. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is constructed from die-cast aluminum with powder coating.

The 1604146 is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for maintaining system compatibility in active installations and ensuring continuity of supply for replacement and maintenance operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604146 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Hood)
• Style (Side Entry)
• Size designation (B6)
• Thread size (M25)
• Lock mechanism (Screw Locks on Hood)
• Housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• Series classification (HEAVYCON-ADVANCE®)
• RoHS compliance status

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Ingress protection rating (IP65/IP68/IP69K or higher rating within the same family)
• Physical dimensions (minor variations acceptable within tolerance)
• Housing finish specifications
• Packaging configuration

The substitute part 1413375 maintains all core compatibility parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP68/IP69K) and additional salt water resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1413375 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1604146 model. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series and share identical core specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, and lock mechanism.

The 1413375 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• Enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66 minimum versus IP65 minimum) provides superior dust and moisture sealing
• Salt water resistance feature extends operational capability in corrosive environments
• RoHS compliance maintained across both parts
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• Minimal dimensional variation (6.3mm height reduction) compatible with standard mounting configurations

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the 1604146, with no functional degradation and improved environmental protection characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1413375 directly replace the 1604146 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size (B6), thread size (M25), lock mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1413375 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 1604146.

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

A: The 1604146 provides IP65/IP68/IP69K protection. The 1413375 provides IP66/IP68/IP69K protection. IP66 offers enhanced dust protection compared to IP65, while maintaining equivalent water resistance across all ratings.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: The 1413375 is 6.3mm shorter in height (93.70mm versus 100.00mm). This minor variation is within standard tolerance for heavy duty connector hood applications and does not affect functional compatibility or mounting interface specifications.

Q: Does the 1413375 maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 1604146 and 1413375 are RoHS compliant components.

Q: What is the significance of salt water resistance in the 1413375?

A: Salt water resistance is an additional feature in the 1413375 that extends operational capability in marine and coastal industrial environments. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard industrial applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1604146 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1413375 is supplied in bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer series?

A: Yes. Both components are part of the Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the product family.
