Phoenix Contact 1604832 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604832 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M32 thread size in the B24 configuration. This connector provides 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 eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604832 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be M32 for proper mounting interface
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Dimensions: Must maintain equivalent physical envelope (144.00mm L x 57.00mm W x 84.00mm H)
• Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1082592 meets all critical substitution criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection and additional features.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082592 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1604832. Selection rationale is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 1604832 is obsolete, while the 1082592 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1082592 carries ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Ingress Protection Enhancement: The 1082592 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof) compared to the IP65 rating of the 1604832, offering superior environmental sealing without compromising the original application requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical thread size (M32), size designation (B24), connector type (base box mount), and physical dimensions ensure direct mechanical substitution.

Temperature Performance: Both parts operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range, maintaining thermal compatibility.

Additional Features: The 1082592 includes salt water resistance and feed-through capability, providing enhanced durability in corrosive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082592 directly replace the 1604832 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B24 size), physical dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The 1082592 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) without requiring design modifications.

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

A: The 1082592 features dual side entry configuration and improved ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65). Both maintain the same B24 size, M32 thread, and aluminum die-cast housing construction.

Q: Why is the 1604832 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The 1082592 represents the active equivalent offering enhanced specifications and continued availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1082592 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation and REACH Unaffected status, reflecting current regulatory standards.

Q: Does the 1082592 require different mounting hardware or installation procedures?

A: No. Identical M32 thread size and B24 configuration ensure compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure and installation procedures.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1604832 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1082592 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production environments and high-volume applications.
