Phoenix Contact 1645794 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1645794 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with M32 thread size in the B24 configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1645794 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Style: Side Entry configuration
• Size: B24
• Thread Size: M32
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Ingress Protection Rating: Equal to or greater than IP65 (IP66/IP67 acceptable as enhanced protection)
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS3 acceptable as equivalent or superior to RoHS Compliant

The substitute part 1082596 meets all core compatibility requirements while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental sealing characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082596 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1645794 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Lifecycle Consideration: The 1645794 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The 1082596 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (965 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance standards. The 1082596 carries RoHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The 1082596 provides IP66/IP67 ingress protection compared to the IP65 rating of the 1645794. This represents an upgrade in dust and water resistance capability, suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing without functional compromise.

Mechanical Compatibility: Dimensional variance is limited to 0.70mm in height (84.70mm vs. 84.00mm), which falls within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for box mount applications. All other critical dimensions remain identical.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical core specifications: B24 size, M32 thread, side entry configuration, aluminum die-cast housing, and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The dual side entry configuration of the 1082596 provides additional flexibility without eliminating single-entry functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082596 directly replace the 1645794 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1082596 maintains identical core specifications (B24 size, M32 thread, side entry, aluminum housing, operating temperature range) and provides enhanced IP66/IP67 protection. The 0.70mm height difference is within standard mechanical tolerances for box mount applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Dual" side entry configuration in the 1082596?

A: The dual side entry design provides two entry points rather than one, offering increased flexibility in cable routing and system configuration. This does not prevent single-entry operation and represents a functional enhancement.

Q: Why is the 1082596 rated IP66/IP67 instead of IP65?

A: The 1082596 incorporates enhanced sealing design that provides superior dust and water resistance. IP66/IP67 exceeds IP65 requirements and is fully backward compatible for applications originally specified with IP65 protection.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1082596 carries RoHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, representing current regulatory standards. The 1645794 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both meet applicable compliance requirements; the 1082596 reflects current certification standards.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 1082596 is actively manufactured with 965 pcs confirmed in stock as new original inventory. The 1645794 is obsolete with limited remaining stock (655 pcs).

Q: Are there any dimensional constraints I should consider?

A: The 1082596 is 0.70mm taller (84.70mm vs. 84.00mm) than the 1645794. Verify that your enclosure or mounting structure accommodates this minor height variance. All other dimensions (length, width, thread size) are identical.

Q: What packaging format is available for the 1082596?

A: The 1082596 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production and inventory management applications.
