Phoenix Contact 1672673 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1672673 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount applications with side entry configuration, D15 size, and PG16 thread. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The substitute part 1424372 provides enhanced ingress protection and active product status while maintaining core mechanical and electrical compatibility.
