Phoenix Contact 1604756 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604756 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M32 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component features IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1604756 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 connector size
• Thread Size: M32 for mechanical compatibility
• Housing Material & Dimensions: Aluminum die cast construction with matching physical envelope (93.00mm L × 57.00mm W × 74.00mm H)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Maintained across substitute options
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1082599 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection and additional operational features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082599 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1604756 based on maintained mechanical compatibility and enhanced environmental protection. Both components share identical connector type, size designation, thread size, and physical dimensions, ensuring drop-in compatibility within existing mounting infrastructure.

The 1082599 provides superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and maintains active product status with current manufacturing support. RoHS3 compliance of the substitute exceeds the RoHS compliance of the original part, meeting contemporary regulatory requirements. The dual side entry configuration of the 1082599 provides additional operational flexibility while preserving all mechanical interface parameters.

Selection of the 1082599 is appropriate for applications requiring equivalent or enhanced environmental sealing performance within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082599 directly replace the 1604756 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical connector type (Base - Box Mount), size (B10), thread size (M32), and physical dimensions (93.00mm × 57.00mm × 74.00mm). The mechanical mounting interface and locking mechanism are identical, enabling direct substitution.

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

A: The 1604756 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1082599 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating of the substitute offers greater environmental sealing capability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1604756 is RoHS Compliant. The 1082599 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more current compliance standard.

Q: What does "dual" side entry mean on the 1082599?

A: The 1082599 features dual side entry configuration, providing two entry points compared to the single entry of the 1604756, while maintaining identical external dimensions and mechanical interfaces.

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical?

A: Yes. Both the 1604756 and 1082599 operate across -40°C to 125°C.

Q: Why is the 1604756 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1604756 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1082599 is the active product offering that maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical functionality with enhanced environmental protection specifications.
