Phoenix Contact 1642784 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642784 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood designed for top entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component 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 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 1642784 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 size class
• Thread Interface: Must accommodate M25 thread size
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction ensures dimensional and thermal consistency
• Operating Temperature: Must support the -40°C to 100°C range or broader
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required for equivalent substitution

The substitute part 1412778 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and extended operating temperature capability (up to 125°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412778 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1642784. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, top entry configuration) and belong to the same HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring compatibility with existing mounting and connector infrastructure.

The 1412778 provides enhanced specifications in two areas: ingress protection is upgraded from IP65 to IP66/IP67, and maximum operating temperature extends from 100°C to 125°C. These improvements represent a superset of the original part's capabilities, making the substitute suitable for applications requiring the original specifications while offering additional environmental protection margin.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and are constructed from aluminum die-cast housing with identical locking mechanisms. The active product status of 1412778 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412778 directly replace the 1642784 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, top entry style) and locking mechanisms. The 1412778 is mechanically and functionally compatible with applications designed for the 1642784.

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

A: The 1642784 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412778 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67 represents enhanced environmental sealing suitable for more demanding moisture exposure conditions.

Q: Are there temperature range differences?

A: The 1642784 operates from -40°C to 100°C. The 1412778 extends the upper limit to 125°C, providing broader thermal operating capability while maintaining the same lower temperature threshold.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1642784 and 1412778 are RoHS compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Why is the 1642784 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The 1412778, as an active product in the same series with enhanced specifications, represents the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1642784 packaging designation is not specified in available documentation. The 1412778 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
