Phoenix Contact 1604830 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604830 is a base-mount, side-entry heavy duty connector from the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M25 thread applications with B24 size configuration. This connector features a box-mount design with locking clips on the hood and is constructed from die-cast aluminum with powder coating. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604830 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be base-mount, side-entry configuration
• Size Designation: B24 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size
• Locking Mechanism: Locking clip (2) on hood
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die-cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant

The substitute part 1604830 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. The primary distinction is the evolution from the HEAVYCON® B series to the HEAVYCON® EVO series, which introduces enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional environmental resistance features while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412869 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1604830. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B24 size, side-entry configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412869 is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains RoHS compliance.

The 1412869 represents an active product from the HEAVYCON® EVO series and is recommended for new designs and replacement applications. The dimensional variance of 1mm in height (68mm versus 67mm) falls within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect mechanical compatibility in standard mounting configurations.

The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features of the 1412869 provide superior environmental performance compared to the original part, making it suitable for applications requiring extended environmental durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412869 directly replace the 1604830 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size, thread interface, and locking mechanism. The 1mm height difference is within standard tolerance and does not affect mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 1412869 belongs to the HEAVYCON® EVO series and includes IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection and salt water resistance. The 1604830 from the HEAVYCON® B series does not specify ingress protection ratings. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges and mechanical specifications.

Q: Why is the 1604830 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1604830 has been superseded by the 1412869 in Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. The EVO series represents the current generation of this connector family.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1604830 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412869 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1604830 and 1412869 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.
