Phoenix Contact 1676970 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1676970 is a heavy duty connector base designed for panel mount applications with bottom entry configuration in D7 size. This component features IP54 ingress protection (dust protected, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The HEAVYCON® D series base connector provides reliable electrical and mechanical interface for industrial applications requiring robust environmental sealing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1676970 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

  • Connector Type & Configuration: Base - Panel Mount with Bottom Entry orientation
  • Size Designation: D7 form factor
  • Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® D series
  • Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
  • Environmental Sealing: Ingress Protection rating (IP54 minimum)
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1419251 maintains compatibility across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced environmental protection through upgraded ingress rating and improved housing material composition.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1419251 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1676970 base connector. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, mounting configurations, and operational temperature specifications within the HEAVYCON® D series.

The 1419251 offers enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67 ingress rating compared to the IP54 specification of the original part. This upgrade provides superior dust and water sealing performance, making it suitable for applications requiring increased environmental resistance. The housing material transition from zinc die cast to aluminum die cast in the substitute part provides improved corrosion resistance, particularly in salt water environments as indicated by the documented salt water resistant feature.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance, with the substitute meeting ROHS3 requirements. The 1419251 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1676970.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1419251 directly replace the 1676970 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical D7 size designation, bottom entry configuration, and HEAVYCON® D series compatibility. The mechanical interface and locking mechanism are equivalent, allowing direct substitution in panel mount applications.

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

A: The 1419251 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP54) and uses aluminum die cast housing instead of zinc die cast. These improvements offer superior environmental sealing and corrosion resistance while maintaining all critical mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters.

Q: Are there any temperature or operational limitations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. There are no operational limitations introduced by the substitution.

Q: Does the substitute part require any design modifications?

A: No design modifications are required. The 1419251 maintains the same form factor, mounting footprint, and locking clip configuration as the 1676970.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1676970 is classified as obsolete. The 1419251 is in active production status with current inventory availability, making it the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing system support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1676970 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1419251 meets ROHS3 Compliant requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance for both options.
