Phoenix Contact 1604784 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604784 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 currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604784 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be M25 for proper installation and sealing
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1412861 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental sealing capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412861 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1604784. Both components share identical mechanical specifications (B16 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The substitute offers enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 versus the original IP65 rating, providing superior dust and water sealing performance. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and regulatory classification (EAR99, HTSUS 8538.90.8180).

The 1412861 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the 1604784 is obsolete. For new installations or system replacements, the 1412861 is the appropriate selection. The enhanced environmental sealing of the substitute part provides additional protection in demanding applications without compromising compatibility with existing B16 connector systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412861 directly replace the 1604784 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Base - Box Mount), style (Side Entry), size (B16), thread size (M25), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The mechanical mounting and electrical interface are equivalent.

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

A: The 1604784 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412861 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The substitute offers enhanced environmental sealing suitable for more demanding applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1604784 is ROHS3 compliant. The 1412861 is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from HEAVYCON® B to HEAVYCON® EVO?

A: The series designation reflects product line evolution. The HEAVYCON® EVO series (1412861) represents the current generation with enhanced specifications while maintaining backward compatibility with B16 connector systems.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1604784 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1412861 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component integration; packaging selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do both parts support the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. Both the 1604784 and 1412861 operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.
