Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1677649 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Classification: B10 form factor
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast housing
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1082580 maintains compatibility across these core parameters. While the 1082580 features an upgraded thread size (M40 versus PG29) and enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65), it preserves the essential mechanical and electrical characteristics required for B10 base mount side entry applications. The dimensional similarity and identical operating temperature range support functional equivalence in applications where the enhanced sealing capability and dual entry configuration do not create installation conflicts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082580 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete 1677649 based on the following criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 1082580 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for applications currently utilizing the 1677649.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and safety standards without additional qualification requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical B10 size classification and aluminum die cast housing construction preserve mounting interfaces and environmental sealing characteristics. Dimensional variance (1677649: 93.00mm L × 57.00mm W × 74.00mm H; 1082580: 92.00mm L × 52.00mm W × 74.50mm H) remains within tolerance for standard box mount applications.

Enhanced Environmental Protection: The 1082580 provides upgraded IP66/IP67 ingress protection compared to the 1677649 IP65 rating, offering improved dust and water resistance without compromising thermal or electrical performance across the identical -40°C to 125°C operating range.

Thread Size Consideration: The transition from PG29 to M40 threading requires verification of mounting panel specifications and cable gland compatibility. M40 represents a standard metric thread size with broader industrial availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1082580 directly replace the 1677649 in existing installations?

A: Functional replacement is supported based on identical B10 size classification, connector type, and operating temperature range. Installation verification is required to confirm M40 thread compatibility with existing mounting hardware and cable gland assemblies.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 upgrade in the 1082580?

A: The enhanced ingress protection rating provides superior dust and water resistance compared to the IP65 specification of the 1677649. This upgrade does not degrade performance in applications requiring only IP65 protection and offers additional environmental sealing capability for demanding installations.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the dual side entry configuration of the 1082580?

A: The dual entry design of the 1082580 maintains the same base mounting footprint and connector interface as the single entry 1677649. Compatibility depends on application-specific cable routing and panel space requirements.

Q: Does the product status change from obsolete to active affect certification or compliance?

A: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance status. The active production status of the 1082580 ensures continued regulatory support and supply availability without introducing new compliance requirements.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1677649 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1082580 is available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement volume and inventory management requirements.
