Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1604871 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® B series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing connector systems.
• Connector Type & Style: Hood connectors with side entry configuration maintain functional equivalence.
• Size Classification: B32 size designation ensures compatibility with mating components and housing dimensions.
• Ingress Protection Level: The substitute must meet or exceed IP65 protection requirements for equivalent environmental sealing performance.
• Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must support the full -40°C to 125°C operating window.
• Thread Size Consideration: While the substitute features M32 threading (versus M25 on the main part), this represents an upgrade path within the same product family, providing enhanced mechanical retention.
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction with appropriate finish ensures durability and environmental resistance.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status must be maintained or improved.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424836 serves as the functional equivalent for the obsolete 1604871 based on the following engineering criteria:

Series & Mechanical Compatibility: Both components belong to the HEAVYCON® B series with identical connector type (hood), style (side entry), and size classification (B32), ensuring compatibility with existing mating interfaces and mounting structures.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The 1424836 provides IP66/IP67 ingress protection compared to the IP65 rating of the 1604871. This represents an upgrade in environmental sealing performance, offering enhanced dust and water resistance suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Regulatory Compliance Advancement: The 1424836 carries ROHS3 compliance status, representing current regulatory alignment. The main part's RoHS compliance is maintained and improved through this substitution.

Active Product Status: The 1424836 is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and maintenance applications.

Thread Size Consideration: The M32 thread on the 1424836 provides increased mechanical retention compared to the M25 thread on the 1604871. This upgrade requires verification that mounting hardware and panel penetrations accommodate the larger thread diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424836 directly replace the 1604871 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for the connector interface itself. However, the M32 thread size on the 1424836 versus M25 on the 1604871 requires verification that mounting panels and hardware support the larger thread diameter. The enhanced IP66/IP67 protection provides improved environmental sealing.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 upgrade on the substitute part?

A: The 1424836 provides enhanced ingress protection compared to the IP65 specification of the 1604871. IP66 adds protection against powerful water jets, while IP67 includes temporary immersion capability. This upgrade is suitable for applications requiring higher environmental resistance without compromising the original IP65 requirement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1424836 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards, while the 1604871 carries RoHS compliance. Both parts maintain compliance with applicable regulations. The 1424836 includes REACH Unaffected status, confirming no REACH substance restrictions.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The 1604871 measures 94.60mm L × 79.00mm W × 80.00mm H, while the 1424836 measures 94.00mm L × 82.50mm W × 94.00mm H. These dimensional variations reflect the larger M32 thread accommodation and enhanced environmental sealing design.

Q: Is the 1424836 suitable for the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes, both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility for equivalent applications.

Q: What does the "Salt Water Resistant" feature on the 1424836 indicate?

A: This feature indicates enhanced corrosion resistance for marine and coastal applications, providing additional environmental protection beyond the standard aluminum die-cast construction.
