Weidmüller 1663800000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1663800000 is a heavy duty connector hood for side entry applications with PG16 thread size, designed for Size 2 configurations. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) in a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating. The part is 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 1663800000 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Size 2
• Thread Interface: PG16
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast with powder coating
• Mechanical Interface: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1663810000 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and series designation (RockStar® vs. RockClassic™), with minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerance ranges for the same connector class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1663810000 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1663800000. Selection of the substitute is supported by:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical connector type, style, size, thread interface, and ingress protection rating
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching locking mechanism and housing dimensions within standard tolerance ranges
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical REACH and ECCN classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing
• Material & Construction: Consistent die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating finish
• Active Product Status: The 1663810000 is currently in active production with documented inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk

The 1663810000 is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the 1663800000 was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1663810000 be used as a direct replacement for the 1663800000?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, style, size, thread interface, ingress protection rating, housing material, and mechanical locking configuration. The 1663810000 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the RockClassic™ and RockStar® series designations?

A: Series designation indicates product line evolution. The 1663810000 (RockStar®) represents the current active series, while the 1663800000 (RockClassic™) is obsolete. Functional and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within standard tolerance ranges. The 1663800000 measures 2.480" L x 1.161" W x 2.106" H, while the 1663810000 measures 2.480" L x 1.319" W x 2.114" H. These variations do not affect mechanical compatibility or functional performance in standard mounting applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1663800000 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1663810000 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact connector functionality.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1663810000 is explicitly RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the 1663800000 is not specified in available documentation. Both parts are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What inventory availability should be expected?

A: The 1663810000 has documented active inventory of 704 pieces. The 1663800000, being obsolete, has limited availability (967 pieces noted as new original stock). For new designs and ongoing applications, the 1663810000 is the recommended selection.
