Phoenix Contact 1672660 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1672660 is a base-mounted heavy duty connector for the HEAVYCON® D series, designed for side entry applications with D15 size and PG16 thread configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible connector bases.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1672660 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Must be HEAVYCON® D series base-mounted connector
• Size & Thread Configuration: D15 connector size with PG16 thread compatibility
• Mounting Style: Side entry configuration for box mount applications
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and ECCN/HTSUS classification alignment

The substitute part 1424366 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical connector size, thread configuration, mounting methodology, and temperature operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424366 serves as the active production equivalent for the obsolete 1672660. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical compatibility, electrical specifications, and thermal operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® D series framework.

The 1424366 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67 rating (versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring superior moisture and corrosive environment protection. The upgrade in ingress protection does not compromise backward compatibility with existing D15/PG16 connector interfaces.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency. The 1424366 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 1672660.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424366 directly replace the 1672660 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D15 size, PG16 thread configuration, side entry mounting style, and base-mount design. The mechanical interface and locking mechanism are equivalent, ensuring direct compatibility with existing mating connectors and enclosure mounting points.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1672660 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1424366 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). IP66/IP67 offers enhanced protection against high-pressure water jets and temporary submersion, suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are there temperature operating differences?

A: No. Both connectors operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range, maintaining consistent thermal performance across all applications.

Q: Does the 1424366 maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 1424366 is RoHS compliant and shares the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications as the 1672660, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the significance of the salt water resistance feature in the 1424366?

A: Salt water resistance indicates enhanced corrosion protection for marine and coastal applications. This feature does not affect standard industrial applications but provides additional environmental durability for specialized use cases.

Q: Is the 1424366 available in the same packaging as the 1672660?

A: The 1424366 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against specific procurement requirements, as the 1672660 packaging specification was not provided.
