Phoenix Contact 1642797 Hood Connector Side Entry M25 B24 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642797 is a heavy-duty hood connector with side entry configuration, M25 thread size, and B24 form factor. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 100°C. The part is currently 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 1642797 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 form factor
• Thread Size: Must be M25
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65; higher ratings (IP66, IP67, IP69K) are acceptable as they provide equal or superior environmental sealing
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing maintains mechanical and thermal compatibility
• Operating Temperature: Must support the -40°C to 100°C range or broader
• Electrical & Mechanical Dimensions: Physical envelope and mounting interface must be compatible

The substitute part 1412773 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced environmental protection and extended temperature capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412773 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1642797. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, M25 thread, side entry hood configuration) and belong to the same HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412773 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 exceeds the IP65 specification of the original part, providing superior dust and water ingress protection
• Extended Temperature Range: Operating capability to 125°C (versus 100°C) accommodates higher thermal environments
• Improved Compliance: ROHS3 certification meets current regulatory requirements
• Salt Water Resistance: Additional feature for corrosive environment applications

For applications where the original 1642797 is specified, the 1412773 provides equivalent or superior performance across all critical parameters without requiring mechanical or electrical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412773 be used as a direct replacement for the 1642797 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical B24 form factor, M25 thread size, side entry configuration, and locking mechanism. The mechanical mounting interface is compatible. The enhanced IP rating and extended temperature range of the 1412773 do not create incompatibility; they represent performance improvements.

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

A: IP65 provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection. IP66/IP67/IP69K provide the same dust protection plus enhanced water resistance (IP67 includes temporary immersion; IP69K includes high-pressure jet spray). The 1412773 maintains backward compatibility while offering superior environmental sealing.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1642797 packaging is listed as unspecified. The 1412773 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Does the higher operating temperature of the 1412773 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) of the 1412773 is a superset of the original specification (-40°C to 100°C). Applications operating within the original temperature window remain fully compatible.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1642797 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412773 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory alignment. Both meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the salt water resistance feature on the 1412773?

A: This feature indicates suitability for marine and coastal environments where salt spray corrosion is a concern. The original 1642797 does not specify this feature. If your application involves salt water exposure, the 1412773 provides documented protection.
