Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604869 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B32 to ensure mechanical fit within existing mounting structures
• Thread Size: Must be M40 for proper installation compatibility
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series for electrical and mechanical standardization
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast to maintain thermal and mechanical properties
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1424849 satisfies all these criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and additional features such as salt water resistance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424849 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1604869. Both components maintain identical core specifications for connector type, size, thread size, and series designation. The 1424849 is recommended for new designs and replacement applications due to its active product status and enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65). Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature ranges, ensuring regulatory and thermal compatibility. The dimensional increase in the 1424849 (90.00mm height versus 72.00mm) must be verified against available mounting space in existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424849 directly replace the 1604869 in existing installations?
