Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1645820 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Mounting: Base - Box Mount configuration
• Connection Style: Side Entry orientation
• Connector Size: B10 designation
• Thread Interface: M32 thread size
• Environmental Protection: Minimum IP65 rating (dust-tight, water-resistant)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1082599 maintains compatibility across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced environmental protection and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082599 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1645820 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical M32 thread size, B10 connector size, and box mount configuration with side entry orientation. Physical dimensions are equivalent, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in existing mounting structures.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The substitute part 1082599 provides IP66/IP67 protection versus the original IP65 rating. This represents an upgrade in environmental sealing capability, offering enhanced dust-tight and waterproof performance suitable for more demanding applications while remaining backward compatible with IP65 requirement specifications.

Compliance Status: The 1082599 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, compared to the obsolete status of the original part. This ensures continued availability, supply chain support, and alignment with current regulatory requirements.

Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range remains consistent at -40°C to 125°C across both components, maintaining thermal compatibility for existing system designs.

Material & Construction: Identical aluminum die-cast housing with gray powder-coated finish ensures consistent mechanical properties and environmental resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082599 directly replace the 1645820 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B10 size, side entry configuration) and physical dimensions. The 1082599 provides equivalent or superior functionality with enhanced IP66/IP67 environmental protection.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are product status and ingress protection rating. The 1645820 is obsolete with IP65 protection, while the 1082599 is an active product with IP66/IP67 protection. The 1082599 also features dual side entry capability and salt water resistance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 1082599 for the 1645820?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The substitute maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The enhanced environmental protection of the 1082599 is a functional upgrade that does not introduce incompatibility.

Q: Does the operating temperature range remain the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range, ensuring thermal compatibility in existing system designs.

Q: What is the significance of the dual side entry feature on the 1082599?

A: The dual side entry configuration on the 1082599 provides additional connection flexibility compared to the single entry design of the 1645820, while maintaining the same overall form factor and mounting interface.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1645820 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1082599 is ROHS3 Compliant, ensuring both meet current environmental and regulatory standards.
