Phoenix Contact 1642292 Hood Connector Side Entry M25 B6 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642292 is a heavy-duty hood connector with side entry configuration, M25 thread size, and B6 contact arrangement. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642292 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Contact Arrangement: B6 size designation
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating; higher ratings (IP66/IP69K) are acceptable as they provide enhanced environmental sealing
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing maintains mechanical and thermal properties
• Temperature Operating Range: Must support -40°C to 100°C minimum; extended ranges are acceptable
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains design consistency
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1412292 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced environmental protection and extended temperature capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412562 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1642292. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B6 contact arrangement, side entry configuration) and are manufactured from the same material composition (aluminum die-cast housing). The 1412562 maintains full backward compatibility while offering operational enhancements.

The substitute part provides superior environmental protection with IP66/IP69K rating compared to the IP65 rating of the original part. This enhanced ingress protection extends system reliability in high-pressure wash and saltwater environments. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C) provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical export classification (EAR99), ensuring regulatory consistency. The 1412562 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 1642292.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412562 directly replace the 1642292 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B6 contact arrangement, side entry configuration) and housing material (aluminum die-cast). The 1412562 is mechanically and electrically compatible with all applications designed for the 1642292.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between IP65 and IP66/IP69K?

A: The 1642292 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412562 provides IP66/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). IP66/IP69K ratings include protection against high-pressure water jets and saltwater spray, making the 1412562 suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting the 1412562 for the 1642292?

A: No. The 1412562 operates across -40°C to 125°C, which exceeds the -40°C to 100°C range of the 1642292. Applications operating within the original temperature range experience no thermal limitations with the substitute part.

Q: Does the 1412562 maintain the same locking mechanism?

A: Yes. Both connectors use an identical locking clip configuration (1) positioned on the base bottom, ensuring consistent installation and removal procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1642292 and 1412562 are RoHS compliant and share identical HTSUS classification (8538.90.8180) and export control designation (EAR99).

Q: What is the availability status of the substitute part?

A: The 1412562 is in active production status with 760 pieces currently in stock. The 1642292 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (681 pieces). New designs should specify the 1412562 to ensure long-term supply continuity.
