Phoenix Contact 1642386 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642386 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood for top entry applications with M32 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. 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 currently marked as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642386 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B10 size class
• Thread Interface: Must use M32 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Housing Material & Construction: Must use Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Operating Temperature: Must support minimum -40°C to 100°C range
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The substitute part 1642386 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection and extended temperature capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412597 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1642386. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B10 size, Top Entry Hood configuration) and belong to the same HEAVYCON® B series. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 1080 units in stock inventory.

The 1412597 provides enhanced specifications compared to the original part: IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection exceeds the IP65 rating of the 1642386, and the extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) provides additional thermal margin. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical export classification (EAR99). The substitute includes salt water resistance as an additional feature.

For applications requiring the original 1642386 specification, the 1412597 offers superior environmental protection and temperature performance while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® B connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412597 be used as a direct replacement for the 1642386?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B10 size, Top Entry Hood style) and belong to the HEAVYCON® B series. The 1412597 meets all functional requirements of the 1642386 while providing enhanced ingress protection and extended temperature capability.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1642386 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412597 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The higher rating indicates enhanced sealing performance in high-pressure water jet and submersion scenarios.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting?

A: The 1642386 operates from -40°C to 100°C. The 1412597 operates from -40°C to 125°C. The substitute part supports the full temperature range of the original and extends the upper limit by 25°C, providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 1642386 and 1412597 are RoHS Compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1642386 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The 1412597 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1080 units currently in stock inventory.

Q: Are there any mechanical dimension differences?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1642386 measures 2.874" L × 1.693" W × 2.756" H (73.00mm × 43.00mm × 70.00mm). The 1412597 measures 2.874" L × 1.732" W × 2.835" H (73.00mm × 44.00mm × 72.00mm). These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting interfaces.
