• Mechanical Interface: Both feature identical locking clip configuration on base bottom
• Operating Temperature: Both support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Both use aluminum die cast construction
• Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements (original RoHS Compliant; substitute ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 1412881 represents an evolution within the HEAVYCON® product line, transitioning from the B series to the EVO series with enhanced ingress protection capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1412881 substitute is suitable for applications currently using the obsolete 1604834 based on the following factors:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical connector type, size, thread specification, and locking mechanism ensure direct physical compatibility in existing mounting configurations
• Environmental Performance: The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), offering superior dust and water resistance without compromising the original specification
• Thermal Consistency: Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range, ensuring thermal performance equivalence
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute meets current ROHS3 compliance standards, representing an advancement from the original RoHS Compliant status
• Active Product Status: The 1412881 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply chain viability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412881 directly replace the 1604834 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration, and locking clip placement), enabling direct substitution in box mount applications without modification to mounting hardware or mechanical assemblies.

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

A: The 1412881 represents a product line evolution from HEAVYCON® B to HEAVYCON® EVO series, with the primary advancement being enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65). The substitute also includes salt water resistance as an additional feature.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental limitations when switching to the 1412881?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring environmental performance parity.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 1412881 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH Unaffected, representing current regulatory standards. The original 1604834 meets RoHS Compliant status.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1604834 (obsolete) has 940 pieces in stock. The 1412881 (active product) has 839 pieces in stock, with ongoing availability as an active product line component.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the two connectors?

A: Minimal dimensional variation exists. The 1604834 measures 5.669" L × 2.244" W × 2.638" H (144.00mm × 57.00mm × 67.00mm). The 1412881 measures 5.669" L × 2.244" W × 2.677" H (144.00mm × 57.00mm × 68.00mm), representing a 1mm height increase that does not affect mechanical compatibility in standard box mount applications.
