Phoenix Contact 1642616 Hood Connector Side Entry M40 B16 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642616 is a heavy-duty hood connector with side entry configuration, M40 thread size, and B16 form factor. 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 specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1642616 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16 form factor required for mechanical compatibility
• Thread Size: M40 thread specification for mounting interface compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains design consistency
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating; higher ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) provide enhanced environmental protection and are acceptable substitutes
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing with equivalent mechanical properties
• Temperature Range: Operating range must encompass or exceed -40°C to 100°C
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1412650 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced environmental protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412650 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1642616. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, M40 thread, side entry configuration) and belong to the same HEAVYCON® B series platform.

The 1412650 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced Environmental Protection: IP66/IP67/IP69K rating provides superior ingress protection compared to the IP65 specification of the original part, suitable for more demanding environmental conditions
• Extended Temperature Range: Operating range of -40°C to 125°C exceeds the original -40°C to 100°C specification, providing additional thermal margin
• Salt Water Resistance: Additional feature for corrosive environment applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Maintains RoHS compliance and equivalent electrical/mechanical specifications

For applications currently using the 1642616, direct substitution with 1412650 is supported without modification to mounting interfaces or electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412650 be used as a direct replacement for the 1642616 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, M40 thread, side entry configuration, locking clip placement) and are members of the same HEAVYCON® B series. No modifications to mounting hardware or connector interfaces are required.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between IP65 and IP66/IP67/IP69K?

A: The 1642616 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412650 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection, which includes enhanced dust tightness, water resistance, and waterproof capability under high-pressure jet conditions. The higher rating is suitable for more severe environmental exposure.

Q: Why is the 1642616 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1642616 has been superseded by the 1412650 in Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. The newer part offers enhanced environmental protection and extended temperature range while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1642616 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1412650 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The 1642616 operates from -40°C to 100°C. The 1412650 extends this range to -40°C to 125°C, providing an additional 25°C of high-temperature capability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1642616 and 1412650 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.
