Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1642373 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size & Thread: B10 form factor with M25 thread size
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip (2) on base bottom
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die cast construction
• Ingress Protection Level: Minimum IP65 or higher
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -40°C to 100°C range
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1642373 meets all critical parameters while offering enhanced environmental protection and extended temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412592 serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete 1642373. Both connectors maintain identical form factor, thread size, and mechanical interface specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412592 provides enhanced environmental protection with IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings compared to the IP65 specification of the original part, along with salt water resistance. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C) accommodates broader thermal environments.

Compliance status has advanced from RoHS to ROHS3, reflecting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412592 directly replace the 1642373 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, and locking mechanism. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

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

A: The primary differences are ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP67/IP69K), operating temperature upper limit (100°C versus 125°C), salt water resistance feature, and product status (obsolete versus active).

Q: Why is the 1642373 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1642373 has been superseded by the 1412592 in the Phoenix Contact product line. The newer model offers enhanced environmental protection and compliance with current standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1642373 was supplied with standard packaging, while the 1412592 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Does the higher ingress protection rating of the 1412592 affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The enhanced IP rating is achieved through internal design improvements without altering the external mechanical interface or mounting dimensions.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the 1412592?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The 1412592 meets these updated requirements, ensuring compliance with current procurement standards.
