Phoenix Contact 1642580 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642580 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with M32 thread size and B16 configuration. 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 classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642580 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M32 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Housing Material: Must be aluminum die cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature locking clip (2) on base bottom

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412653 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. While this substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C), the core mechanical and electrical interfaces remain compatible with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412653 substitute be used as a direct replacement for the 1642580?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B16 size, top entry hood configuration, and locking clip mechanism). The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible with the original specification.

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

A: The primary differences are ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP67/IP69K), operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C versus -40°C to 125°C), and product status (obsolete versus active). The substitute offers enhanced environmental protection and thermal performance.

Q: Does the substitute require any modifications to existing installations?

A: No modifications are required. The substitute maintains identical mechanical dimensions and thread specifications, allowing direct installation in existing M32 mounting configurations.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating on the substitute?

A: This enhanced rating indicates superior dust and water ingress protection compared to the IP65 rating of the original. IP66/IP67/IP69K provides waterproof performance suitable for high-pressure wash and submersion environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 1412653 substitute should be selected for new designs. As an active product with current compliance certifications and enhanced performance characteristics, it represents the current production standard within the HEAVYCON® B series.
