Phoenix Contact 1604724 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604724 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604724 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B6 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be M25 for proper mounting interface
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1412822 satisfies all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional features such as salt water resistance, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412822 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1604724. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (B6 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating ranges. The 1412822 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The substitute part provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance features, representing a performance upgrade within the same mechanical envelope. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity ratings, with the substitute meeting ROHS3 specifications.

Selection of the 1412822 is appropriate for applications requiring the 1604724 connector interface, with the added benefit of improved environmental protection and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412822 directly replace the 1604724 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications (B6 size, M25 thread, side entry, box mount configuration) and identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412822 maintains the same locking mechanism and housing material, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

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

A: The 1604724 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412822 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The higher rating indicates enhanced sealing performance in more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1604724 meets RoHS standards, while the 1412822 meets ROHS3 specifications. Both maintain EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS codes. The 1412822 includes REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Why is the 1604724 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1604724 belongs to the HEAVYCON® B series, which has been superseded by the HEAVYCON® EVO series (represented by the 1412822). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining functional compatibility.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1604724 measures 3.307" L x 1.575" W x 2.047" H (84.00mm x 40.00mm x 52.00mm). The 1412822 measures 3.307" L x 2.047" W x 2.150" H (84.00mm x 52.00mm x 54.60mm). These differences do not affect mounting compatibility for standard M25 threaded applications.

Q: What additional features does the 1412822 provide?

A: The 1412822 includes salt water resistance in addition to standard water resistance, making it suitable for marine and coastal applications. Both connectors feature feed-through capability.
