Phoenix Contact 1604793 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604793 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M32 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1604793 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: M32 thread is required for proper installation interface
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material & Dimensions: Aluminum die cast construction with matching form factor (117.00mm L × 57.00mm W × 84.00mm H)
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating for environmental sealing

The substitute part 1082601 satisfies all critical substitution parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082601 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1604793. Selection rationale is based on:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical B16 size, M32 thread, and physical dimensions ensure direct installation compatibility
• Environmental Performance: The 1082601 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) compared to the original IP65 rating, offering superior dust and water resistance in demanding applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance; the 1082601 meets ROHS3 standards and is REACH unaffected, supporting current regulatory requirements
• Product Lifecycle: The 1082601 holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Operational Range: Identical -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range maintains thermal performance specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082601 directly replace the 1604793 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical B16 size, M32 thread, and physical dimensions (117.00mm × 57.00mm × 84.00mm). The 1082601 mounts identically as a box mount, side entry base connector.

Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67 ratings?

A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67 extends protection to include waterproof capability under temporary immersion (IP67). The 1082601's enhanced rating provides superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the dual side entry configuration of the 1082601 affect compatibility?

A: The dual side entry feature of the 1082601 is an enhancement that does not prevent single-entry operation. The connector maintains the same mounting interface and thread specifications as the original 1604793.

Q: Are there temperature or compliance concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C and maintain RoHS compliance. The 1082601 additionally meets ROHS3 standards, supporting current regulatory frameworks.

Q: Why is the 1604793 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product line. The 1082601 represents the active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring continued support and availability.
