Phoenix Contact 1604872 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604872 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood for side entry applications with M32 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 part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604872 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood type, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B32 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M32 for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains dimensional and functional consistency
• Ingress Protection: Substitute must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast construction ensures equivalent mechanical properties
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom configuration must be maintained

The Phoenix Contact 1424836 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While it provides enhanced IP66/IP67 protection and includes salt water resistance, it maintains all critical mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements with the original 1604872.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424836 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1604872. Selection is based on:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical connector type, style, size designation (B32), and thread size (M32), ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in M32 threaded applications.
• Series Continuity: Both components belong to the HEAVYCON® B series, maintaining design consistency and mounting compatibility.
• Environmental Protection Enhancement: The 1424836 provides IP66/IP67 protection versus the original IP65, offering superior dust and water ingress protection without compromising existing system interfaces.
• Compliance Status: The 1424836 holds Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The original 1604872 is obsolete.
• Temperature Performance: Both parts operate identically across -40°C to 125°C, maintaining thermal compatibility in all specified environments.
• Material Consistency: Aluminum die cast construction is maintained, preserving mechanical strength and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1424836 directly replace the 1604872 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Hood), style (Side Entry), size (B32), thread size (M32), lock mechanism configuration, and operating temperature range. The 1424836 is mechanically and functionally compatible for direct substitution in M32 threaded applications.

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

A: The 1604872 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1424836 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating in the substitute part does not reduce compatibility; it extends environmental protection capability.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the two parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1604872 measures 94.60 x 79.00 x 80.00 mm (L x W x H), while the 1424836 measures 94.00 x 82.50 x 94.00 mm. These differences remain within the B32 size class specification and do not affect M32 thread compatibility or mounting interface.

Q: What is the product status significance?

A: The 1604872 is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 1424836 is Active, ensuring ongoing supply, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Does the 1424836 include salt water resistance?

A: Yes. The 1424836 includes salt water resistant features, providing enhanced corrosion protection in marine or high-salinity environments compared to the original 1604872.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1604872 is RoHS Compliant. The 1424836 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard for hazardous substance restriction.
