Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1604902 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: D25 connector size
• Thread Size: M20 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® D series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1604902 meets all these core requirements while offering enhanced ingress protection and additional environmental resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424392 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1604902 based on matching core mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® D series. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, and operating temperature range.

The 1424392 is classified as Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) provides superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical compatibility or form factor.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements for ingress protection level and the availability status of the obsolete 1604902 in existing inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424392 directly replace the 1604902 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces, thread sizes (M20), and connector sizing (D25). The 1424392 maintains the same locking mechanism and housing material specifications required for HEAVYCON® D series compatibility.

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

A: The 1604902 provides IP65 protection (dust-tight, water-resistant). The 1424392 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust-tight, water-resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating does not affect mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Why is the 1604902 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 1424392 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® D series for this connector configuration.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1604902 is listed with standard packaging, while the 1424392 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and logistics but does not impact connector functionality or specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: The 1604902 is explicitly RoHS Compliant. The 1424392 RoHS status is not specified in the provided documentation and should be confirmed with the manufacturer for applications requiring RoHS certification.
