Phoenix Contact 1642344 CONN BASE BOTTOM ENTRY SZB6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642344 is a heavy duty connector base designed for panel mount applications with bottom entry configuration in the B6 size. This component functions as the base connector interface for the HEAVYCON® B series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where continued availability or enhanced specifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642344 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Panel Mount with Bottom Entry configuration
• Size Classification: Must be B6 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required for modern applications

The Phoenix Contact 1411318 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it belongs to the newer HEAVYCON® EVO series, it maintains identical connector type, style, size, and lock location specifications. The substitute offers enhanced environmental protection (IP66 rating) and extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for replacement in existing installations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1411318 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1642344 connector base. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 1642344 is obsolete, making the active 1411318 the appropriate choice for ongoing procurement and system support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 1411318 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The 1411318 also maintains REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.

Environmental Performance: The 1411318 provides IP66 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) with salt water resistance features, offering superior environmental durability compared to the original part. This enhancement is particularly valuable in harsh or corrosive environments.

Thermal Operating Range: The 1411318 extends the maximum operating temperature to 125°C versus the original 100°C, providing greater thermal margin for demanding applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical connector type, style, size (B6), and locking mechanism specifications, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in panel mount installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1411318 directly replace the 1642344 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Base - Panel Mount), style (Bottom Entry), size (B6), and lock location specifications. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained for direct substitution in panel mount applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector bases?

A: The primary differences are series designation (HEAVYCON® B versus HEAVYCON® EVO), product status (obsolete versus active), and enhanced specifications in the 1411318. The substitute offers IP66 ingress protection, extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), salt water resistance, and current RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Is the 1411318 suitable for applications requiring environmental sealing?

A: Yes. The 1411318 is rated IP66 (dust tight, water resistant) with salt water resistant features, making it appropriate for sealed and corrosive environments. The original 1642344 does not specify ingress protection ratings.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1642344 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1411318 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: The 1411318 meets current standards with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The 1642344 is RoHS compliant but represents an older standard. For new designs and long-term support, the 1411318 is the recommended choice.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
