Phoenix Contact 1642742 CONN BASE BOTTOM ENTRY SZB16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642742 is a heavy duty connector base designed for panel mount applications with bottom entry configuration in the B16 size. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The part is classified 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 of heavy duty connector bases is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (base - panel mount)
• Entry style (bottom entry)
• Size designation (B16)
• Locking mechanism (locking clip configuration on base bottom)
• Housing material (aluminum die cast)
• Ingress protection rating (equal or superior)
• Operating temperature range (equal or superior)
• RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 1411327 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching connector type, entry style, size, locking mechanism, and housing material. The 1411327 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C), with active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1411327 is the direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1642742. Both components share identical connector architecture (base panel mount, bottom entry, B16 size) and mechanical interface specifications. The 1411327 provides superior environmental protection through enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and extended operating temperature capability (125°C maximum versus 100°C). The substitute maintains aluminum die cast housing construction and achieves current RoHS3 compliance. As an active product in the HEAVYCON® EVO series, the 1411327 ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1642742.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1411327 directly replace the 1642742 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, entry style, size designation, and locking mechanism. The 1411327 provides equal or superior performance across all environmental and thermal parameters.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (1642742 is obsolete; 1411327 is active), ingress protection rating (IP65 versus IP66/IP67/IP69K), maximum operating temperature (100°C versus 125°C), and series designation (HEAVYCON® B versus HEAVYCON® EVO). The 1411327 includes salt water resistance as an additional feature.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: No. Both components use identical B16 size designation, bottom entry configuration, and dual locking clip mechanisms on the base bottom. Physical mounting interfaces are compatible.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 1411327 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards. The original 1642742 is RoHS compliant but obsolete.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1642742 was supplied without specified packaging designation. The 1411327 is supplied in bulk packaging.
