• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical handling requirements)
• ECCN: EAR99 (same export classification)
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180 (same tariff classification)

The 1412853 represents an active product within the HEAVYCON® EVO series, providing current manufacturing availability and ongoing technical support. This substitute maintains the core electrical and mechanical interface specifications required for HEAVYCON B16 connector systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412853 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1673685 coupling housing. Selection of the 1412853 is based on:

Product Status Alignment: The 1412853 maintains active product status within the HEAVYCON® EVO series, ensuring continued manufacturing support, spare parts availability, and technical documentation.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and export classification (EAR99), satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial connector applications.

Interface Compatibility: Both components share the B16 connector size specification and are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility within HEAVYCON connector systems.

Moisture and Environmental Handling: Identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited) indicate equivalent moisture sensitivity and storage requirements, eliminating special handling considerations during transition.

The 1412853 represents the current production equivalent for applications previously utilizing the 1673685 coupling housing in HEAVYCON B16 connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 1673685 no longer available?

A: The 1673685 has reached end-of-life status and is classified as obsolete. Phoenix Contact has transitioned this product line to the HEAVYCON® EVO series, with the 1412853 serving as the active equivalent.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between the 1673685 and 1412853?

A: Both components share the B16 connector size specification, are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, maintain identical RoHS compliance and MSL ratings, and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications. These parameters ensure functional equivalence in HEAVYCON connector systems.

Q: Can the 1412853 be used as a direct replacement in existing installations?
