Phoenix Contact 1673711 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1673711 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with PG21 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The unit features a gray aluminum die-cast housing with powder coating and includes a locking clip mechanism on the base bottom.

The 1673711 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for applications requiring this connector configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1673711 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16
• Thread Size: Must be PG21
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating

The substitute part 1412867 satisfies all critical substitution parameters. It maintains the same connector type, size, thread size, operating temperature range, housing material, and RoHS compliance. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, representing a functional upgrade while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412867 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1673711. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG21 thread, side entry configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412867 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1412867 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 specification, offering improved performance in demanding environmental conditions. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and are manufactured from aluminum die-cast housing. Dimensional variations are minimal (less than 1mm in length and height), presenting no functional impact on standard mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412867 directly replace the 1673711 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, size designation (B16), thread size (PG21), operating temperature range, and mechanical mounting interface. The 1412867 is mechanically and electrically compatible with applications designed for the 1673711.

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

A: The 1673711 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412867 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating in the substitute part represents improved environmental sealing and does not compromise compatibility.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect mounting?

A: Dimensional differences are minimal. The 1412867 is 0.5mm longer and 1mm taller than the 1673711. These variations fall within standard mechanical tolerances and do not affect standard box mount applications.

Q: Why is the 1673711 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1673711 belongs to the HEAVYCON® B series, which has been superseded by the HEAVYCON® EVO series (represented by the 1412867). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining backward compatibility through equivalent substitute parts.

Q: Do both parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 1673711 and 1412867 are RoHS Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
