Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604728 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be base-mount, side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B6 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating (equal or higher protection class acceptable)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction

The substitute part 1604728 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 1412826 is a direct functional substitute for the 1604728. Both connectors share identical core specifications: B6 size, M25 thread interface, side entry configuration, and base-mount design with identical locking mechanisms.

The 1412826 offers superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature ranges and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

The 1412826 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1604728.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412826 directly replace the 1604728 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B6 size, side entry, locking clip mechanism) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412826 provides equal or superior performance in all specified parameters.

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

A: The 1604728 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412826 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67/IP69K represents a higher protection class suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences?

A: The 1604728 measures 3.307" L x 2.047" W x 2.047" H (84.00mm x 52.00mm x 52.00mm). The 1412826 measures 3.307" L x 2.047" W x 2.150" H (84.00mm x 52.00mm x 54.60mm). The height difference is 2.6mm, which may require verification in space-constrained applications.

Q: Do both parts comply with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1604728 and 1412826 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1604728 is available in standard packaging. The 1412826 is supplied in bulk packaging.
