Phoenix Contact 1672880 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1672880 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with D25 size and PG21 thread configuration. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1672880 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: D25 size requirement for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Configuration: PG21 thread size for mounting interface compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® D series maintains design consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C operational envelope
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom

The substitute part 1424385 meets all these core parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and salt water resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424385 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1672880. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (D25 size, PG21 thread), mounting configuration (top entry, locking clip base), and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C).

The 1424385 is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability and ongoing manufacturer support. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and salt water resistance features provide superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical compatibility or thermal performance.

For applications requiring the exact IP65 specification of the original 1672880, the 1424385 remains suitable as it exceeds the original protection requirements. The identical housing material, color, and locking mechanism ensure drop-in compatibility in existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424385 directly replace the 1672880 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (hood), style (top entry), size (D25), thread configuration (PG21), lock mechanism (locking clip on base bottom), housing material (aluminum die cast), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The 1672880 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1424385 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The 1424385 offers enhanced environmental sealing suitable for more demanding applications.

Q: Why is the 1672880 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1672880 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1424385 represents the active production alternative within the HEAVYCON® D series for this connector configuration.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1672880 measures 3.130" L x 1.161" W x 2.835" H (79.50mm x 29.50mm x 72.00mm). The 1424385 measures 3.150" L x 1.181" W x 2.835" H (80.00mm x 30.00mm x 72.00mm). These differences do not affect mechanical mounting compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to these components?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8538.90.8180. The 1424385 includes salt water resistance as an additional feature.
