Phoenix Contact 1604885 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604885 is a base-mounted, 90° side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® D series, designed for panel mounting applications with M20 thread size and D7 connector size. This component provides IP54 ingress protection suitable for dust-protected and water-resistant environments. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1604885 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Panel Mount 90°
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: D7
• Thread Size: M20
• Series: HEAVYCON® D
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Ingress Protection: May be equal or superior (IP54 minimum; IP66/IP67 acceptable as upgrade)
• Housing Material: Zinc die cast or Aluminum die cast (both acceptable)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant (both acceptable)
• Product Status: Active status preferred for obsolete parts

The substitute part 1419253 meets all mandatory parameters and provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) compared to the original specification, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental sealing characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1419253 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1604885 connector. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® D series, maintaining full compatibility for panel-mount 90° side entry applications with M20 threading and D7 sizing.

The 1419253 provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 rating compared to the original IP54 specification, offering superior dust-tight and waterproof sealing. This upgrade does not compromise compatibility and is suitable for applications requiring equal or greater environmental protection.

The 1419253 is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The aluminum die-cast housing material provides equivalent structural performance to the original zinc die-cast construction while offering salt water resistance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1419253 directly replace the 1604885 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces, thread sizing (M20), connector size (D7), mounting orientation (90° side entry panel mount), and locking mechanisms. The 1419253 is a direct mechanical and functional substitute.

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

A: The original 1604885 provides IP54 protection (dust protected, water resistant). The substitute 1419253 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). IP66/IP67 represents enhanced sealing suitable for more demanding environmental conditions while maintaining backward compatibility with IP54-rated applications.

Q: Are there material differences between the two connectors?

A: The 1604885 uses zinc die-cast housing; the 1419253 uses aluminum die-cast housing. Both materials provide equivalent structural integrity for the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The aluminum construction in the 1419253 includes salt water resistance features.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1604885 was supplied in standard packaging; the 1419253 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1604885 is RoHS Compliant; the 1419253 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why is the 1604885 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1604885 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1419253 represents the current production equivalent, ensuring continued availability and support for this connector type within the HEAVYCON® D series.
