Phoenix Contact 1604835 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604835 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with M25 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 product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604835 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be M25 for proper installation interface
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The substitute part 1412873 satisfies all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional features such as salt water resistance and feed-through capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412873 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 1604835. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The substitute part offers superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and is currently in active production status with full RoHS compliance.

Selection of the 1412873 is appropriate for applications requiring replacement of the 1604835 or for new designs where enhanced environmental protection is beneficial. The upgrade from IP65 to IP66/IP67/IP69K provides additional dust and water ingress resistance without compromising mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412873 directly replace the 1604835 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size (B24), thread size (M25), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1412873 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1604835 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412873 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating offers greater protection in high-pressure wash and submersion environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1604835 and 1412873 are RoHS Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the physical dimension difference?

A: The 1604835 measures 5.669" L x 2.244" W x 2.638" H (144.00mm x 57.00mm x 67.00mm). The 1412873 measures 5.669" L x 2.244" W x 2.677" H (144.00mm x 57.00mm x 68.00mm). The height difference is 0.039" (1.00mm), which is negligible for most mounting applications.

Q: Why is the 1604835 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1604835 belongs to the HEAVYCON® B series, which has been superseded by the HEAVYCON® EVO series (represented by the 1412873). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer EVO line, which offers enhanced environmental protection and additional features.

Q: Does the 1412873 have any additional features?

A: Yes. The 1412873 includes feed-through capability and salt water resistance, making it suitable for marine and corrosive environments where the 1604835 may not be adequate.
