Phoenix Contact 1604880 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604880 is a heavy duty connector hood for side entry applications with M40 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 suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new installations requiring equivalent functionality.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604880 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
  • Size Designation: Must be B48 to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mating interfaces
  • Thread Size: M40 thread is required for proper mounting and sealing
  • Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains dimensional and functional consistency
  • Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 required; IP66/IP67 represents enhanced protection and is acceptable as a substitute
  • Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
  • Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast construction with appropriate finish
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required for current procurement standards

The substitute part 1424861 meets all critical substitution criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and salt water resistance, making it a direct functional replacement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424861 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1604880. Both components share identical core specifications for connector type, style, size designation, thread size, and operating temperature range. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 versus the original IP65 rating, representing an improvement in environmental sealing capability. Both parts maintain HEAVYCON® B series compatibility and meet current RoHS compliance requirements. The 1424861 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 1604880. Dimensional variations are minimal and do not affect mechanical interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424861 directly replace the 1604880 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size (B48), thread size (M40), locking mechanism, and operating temperature range. The substitute provides equivalent or enhanced functionality.

Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67 protection ratings?

A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67 extends this to include waterproof capability under temporary or continuous immersion conditions. The substitute's enhanced rating is compatible with applications requiring the original IP65 specification.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: Dimensional differences are minor (height increases from 96.00 mm to 107.50 mm; length and width increase by approximately 0.5 mm). These variations do not affect mechanical interface compatibility with M40 threaded mating surfaces or B48 size designation requirements.

Q: Does the substitute include salt water resistance?

A: Yes. The 1424861 includes salt water resistant features, providing additional environmental protection beyond the original specification.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 1424861 is in active production with 808 pieces of new original stock currently available, ensuring reliable procurement for immediate and future requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original 1604880 is RoHS Compliant. The substitute 1424861 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory standards.
