Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642289 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series designation
• Size Designation: B6 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Housing Material: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom

The substitute part 1412566 maintains all core mechanical and electrical interface parameters required for direct functional equivalence. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, housing material, and locking mechanism. The substitute represents an active product status alternative with enhanced ingress protection capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412566 serves as the direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1642289. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, connector architecture, and core electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412566 offers enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP69K rating compared to the IP65 specification of the original part, providing superior dust and water ingress resistance. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C) accommodates broader thermal environments.

Both parts carry equivalent export classification (EAR99) and maintain RoHS compliance status. The substitute part is currently in active production status with documented inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity for applications previously utilizing the 1642289.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412566 directly replace the 1642289 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size designation (B6), thread size (M25), housing material (aluminum die-cast), and locking mechanism. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What are the differences between IP65 and IP66/IP69K ratings?

A: The 1642289 provides IP65 protection (dust-tight, water-resistant). The 1412566 provides IP66/IP69K protection (dust-tight, water-resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating indicates greater resistance to high-pressure water jets and temporary submersion conditions.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting?

A: The 1412566 operates across -40°C to 125°C, extending the upper temperature limit by 25°C compared to the 1642289 (-40°C to 100°C). This provides additional thermal margin for high-temperature applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1642289 was supplied with standard packaging. The 1412566 is supplied in bulk packaging format, which may affect procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 1642289 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412566 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: Why is the 1642289 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1642289 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412566 represents the active production alternative within the HEAVYCON® B series, offering equivalent functionality with enhanced environmental protection specifications.
