Phoenix Contact 1604833 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604833 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 -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 1604833 is determined by strict alignment with the following core 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 M25 for proper mounting interface
• Operating Temperature: Must support the full -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast for thermal and mechanical properties
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412881 meets all these core parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread size, temperature range, and housing material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412881 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1604833 based on identical core mechanical and electrical parameters. The 1412881 is manufactured in the newer HEAVYCON® EVO series and maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Key compliance advantages of the 1412881 include ROHS3 compliance (versus RoHS Compliant on the 1604833) and REACH Unaffected status. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) provides superior environmental sealing compared to the IP65 rating of the original part, with additional salt water resistance and feed-through capabilities.

Both parts share identical operating temperature ranges, housing materials, and mechanical mounting interfaces, confirming direct substitution feasibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412881 directly replace the 1604833 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Base - Box Mount), style (Side Entry), size (B24), thread size (M25), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast). The mechanical mounting interface and locking mechanism are identical.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product series (HEAVYCON® B versus HEAVYCON® EVO), product status (Obsolete versus Active), and ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP67/IP69K). The 1412881 offers enhanced environmental sealing and includes salt water resistance and feed-through features.

Q: Does the higher ingress protection rating of the 1412881 affect compatibility?

A: No. Enhanced ingress protection is a functional improvement that does not compromise compatibility. The 1412881 maintains all mechanical and electrical specifications required for direct substitution.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1604833 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 1412881 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect the connector's functional or mechanical specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 1412881?

A: The 1412881 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the 1604833.
