Phoenix Contact 1673465 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1673465 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with PG16 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) with aluminum die-cast housing suitable for industrial environments operating between -40°C and 125°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component replacement in existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1673465 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 form factor
• Thread Interface: PG16 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Housing Material: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The substitute part 1412846 maintains all core mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and improved environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, and temperature operating range, establishing direct substitution viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412846 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1673465 based on maintained mechanical and electrical compatibility across all critical parameters. Both connectors share identical connector type, size designation (B10), thread interface (PG16), housing material (aluminum die-cast), and operating temperature specification (-40°C to 125°C). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification.

The 1412846 represents an active product in the HEAVYCON® EVO series, providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, along with additional environmental resistance features including salt water resistance. The dimensional variance is minimal (height difference of 2.6mm), with length and width remaining functionally equivalent. This upgrade path is suitable for direct replacement in existing installations where the enhanced protection rating does not conflict with form factor constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412846 directly replace the 1673465 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical connector type (Base - Box Mount), style (Side Entry), size (B10), thread size (PG16), housing material (aluminum die-cast), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established across these core parameters.

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

A: The 1412846 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) versus the 1673465 (IP65), along with additional features including salt water resistance and feed-through capability. The 1412846 represents a newer generation (HEAVYCON® EVO series) of the same connector family.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: Dimensional differences are minimal. The 1412846 is 2.6mm taller (54.60mm versus 52.00mm height) while maintaining identical length (92.00mm versus 93.00mm) and width (52.00mm). Verify mounting clearance in your specific application.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1673465 and 1412846 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why is the 1673465 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1673465 has been superseded by the 1412846 in the Phoenix Contact product line. The newer model offers enhanced environmental protection and improved features while maintaining backward compatibility with the original connector specifications.
