The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412567 satisfies all core substitution criteria while offering enhanced environmental protection and extended operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412567 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1636237. Both connectors share identical form, fit, and function characteristics within the HEAVYCON® B series, with mechanical compatibility confirmed through matching B6 size, M32 thread, and Top Entry hood configuration.

The 1412567 offers functional advantages over the original part:

• Enhanced Environmental Protection: IP66/IP69K rating provides superior ingress protection compared to IP65, suitable for high-pressure wash and submersion environments
• Extended Temperature Range: Operating capability to 125°C versus 100°C maximum on the original part
• Active Product Status: Ensures ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity
• Current Compliance: ROHS3 certification meets current regulatory requirements

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412567 be used as a direct replacement for the 1636237?

A: Yes. Both connectors are HEAVYCON® B series hoods with identical B6 size, M32 thread, and Top Entry configuration. Mechanical mounting and electrical interface compatibility are confirmed.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP69K), maximum operating temperature (100°C versus 125°C), and product status (obsolete versus active). The 1412567 provides enhanced environmental sealing and thermal capability.

Q: Is the 1412567 suitable for applications originally designed for the 1636237?

A: Yes. The 1412567 meets or exceeds all environmental and thermal specifications of the original part. Applications requiring IP65 protection are fully compatible with the enhanced IP66/IP69K rating of the substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1636237 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412567 is available in bulk packaging. Consult with your supplier regarding minimum order quantities and packaging configurations.

Q: Do both connectors comply with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant (1636237: RoHS Compliant; 1412567: ROHS3 Compliant). The 1412567 meets current ROHS3 requirements. Both carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference, and does it matter for my application?

A: The 1412567 operates to 125°C versus 100°C for the 1636237. If your application operates above 100°C, the 1412567 is required. For applications below 100°C, both parts are suitable.
