Phoenix Contact 1604934 Hood Connector Side Entry M25 HV6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1604934 is a heavy-duty hood connector designed for side entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® HV series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1604934 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with side entry configuration
• Thread Size: M25 (mechanical interface requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory adherence

The Phoenix Contact 1412725 qualifies as a functional substitute based on these core parameters. While it belongs to the HEAVYCON® B series rather than HV series, it maintains the same connector type, side entry style, M25 thread size, and identical operating temperature range. The substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, representing a performance upgrade suitable for equivalent or more demanding environmental conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412725 is the identified substitute for the obsolete 1604934. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following engineering factors:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical M25 thread size and side entry configuration, ensuring direct mechanical interface compatibility with existing mounting structures and cable entry systems.

Thermal Performance: The substitute maintains the identical -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, confirming thermal equivalence for applications within the original design envelope.

Environmental Protection: The 1412725 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, with additional salt water resistance. This represents a performance upgrade suitable for equivalent or more stringent environmental conditions.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The 1412725 is REACH unaffected, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.

Product Availability: The 1412725 maintains active product status with 907 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity for new designs and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412725 directly replace the 1604934 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share the same M25 thread size, side entry configuration, and identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The mechanical interface is compatible. The 1412725 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), making it suitable for equivalent or more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The main differences are series designation (HV versus B), ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP67/IP69K), and product status (obsolete versus active). The 1412725 includes salt water resistance, an additional feature not specified for the original part.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the 1604934 and 1412725?

A: Yes. The 1412725 has a slightly different height dimension (60mm versus 45mm) due to series design differences. Length and width dimensions are nearly identical (94.60mm versus 94.00mm length; 44.00mm versus 43.00mm width). Verify mounting clearance in your specific application.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1412725 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The substitute is REACH unaffected, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for the substitute?

A: The 1412725 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 907 units currently in stock as new original inventory.

Q: Can I use the 1412725 in applications requiring IP65 protection?

A: Yes. The 1412725 exceeds the IP65 requirement with IP66/IP67/IP69K protection. It is suitable for applications originally specified for IP65 and provides additional environmental protection margin.
