Phoenix Contact 1645480 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1645480 is a panel mount base connector for the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for bottom entry applications with B16 size configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1411325 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1645480 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Panel Mount (identical)
• Style: Bottom Entry (identical)
• Size: B16 (identical)
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (identical)
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast (identical)
• Series Family: HEAVYCON® product line (same manufacturer ecosystem)
• ECCN and HTSUS Classification: Identical regulatory codes

Enhanced Specifications: The 1411325 provides improved ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), representing a higher protection class suitable for more demanding environmental conditions. The substitute maintains backward compatibility with the original connector footprint while offering additional features including salt water resistance and integrated cover design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1411325 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1645480 connector base. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in existing installations and new designs.

The 1411325 offers enhanced environmental protection through its superior IP66/IP67/IP69K rating, making it suitable for applications requiring higher ingress protection than the original IP65 specification. This upgrade path is particularly relevant for systems operating in harsh industrial environments with exposure to dust, moisture, or salt spray conditions.

The substitute maintains full compliance with current RoHS3 standards and is manufactured by the same supplier within the HEAVYCON® product family, ensuring consistent quality and long-term availability. The active product status of the 1411325 provides assurance of continued manufacturing support and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1411325 directly replace the 1645480 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces, panel cutout dimensions, locking mechanisms, and operating temperature specifications. The B16 size and bottom entry configuration are identical, enabling direct substitution without modification to mounting hardware or panel layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the improved IP rating on the 1411325?

A: The 1411325 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection compared to the 1645480's IP65 rating. This represents enhanced dust ingress prevention and increased water resistance, including protection against high-pressure water jets. Systems operating in marine, washdown, or high-humidity environments benefit from this upgrade.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: The 1645480 measures 4.488" L × 1.693" W × 1.063" H, while the 1411325 measures 4.488" L × 2.087" W × 1.201" H. The length remains identical; width and height are slightly increased due to the integrated cover design on the substitute. Verify available panel space before installation.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1645480 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1411325 is available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Does the 1411325 include additional features not present on the 1645480?

A: The 1411325 incorporates salt water resistance and an integrated cover design, providing enhanced environmental protection. These features do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but offer improved durability in corrosive environments.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1645480 meets RoHS compliance standards, while the 1411325 meets the more recent ROHS3 compliance requirements. Both are suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
