Phoenix Contact 1677694 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1677694 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount, side entry applications with PG21 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1677694 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount, Side Entry configuration
• Size Classification: Must be B10 size to maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Interface: Acceptable thread sizes include PG21 (original) or M32 (metric equivalent) for mounting applications
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating required; IP66/IP67 represents enhanced protection and is acceptable for substitution
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast housing with appropriate finish
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom
• RoHS Compliance: Active compliance status preferred for new applications

The substitute part 1082583 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082583 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1677694 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 1082583 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 1677694's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1082583 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes (8538.90.8180), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Mechanical & Electrical Compatibility: Identical B10 size classification, matching dimensions (93.00mm x 57.00mm x 74.00mm), identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and equivalent locking mechanisms ensure direct functional substitution.

Enhanced Protection Capability: The 1082583 provides IP66/IP67 ingress protection versus the 1677694's IP65 rating. This represents improved environmental sealing without compromising existing application requirements. The addition of salt water resistance extends operational capability in corrosive environments.

Thread Interface Consideration: The 1082583 uses M32 metric threading versus the 1677694's PG21 thread. Both are industry-standard heavy duty connector thread specifications. Thread adapter solutions or mounting bracket modifications may be required depending on existing installation infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082583 directly replace the 1677694 without any modifications?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for B10 size, side entry base mount configuration. Thread interface differs (M32 versus PG21), requiring evaluation of existing mounting hardware. Dimensional compatibility is identical, allowing housing-level substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating upgrade on the 1082583?

A: IP66/IP67 provides enhanced dust and water ingress protection compared to the 1677694's IP65 rating. IP66 adds complete dust protection; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability. These enhancements are backward compatible with applications originally specified for IP65.

Q: Does the dual side entry configuration of the 1082583 affect substitution compatibility?

A: The dual side entry feature indicates dual M32 thread capability on the 1082583, providing additional mounting flexibility. Single-entry applications can utilize this part without functional impact. The dual configuration does not compromise single-entry use cases.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to selecting the 1082583?

A: Yes. The 1082583 maintains active product status with 894 pieces in current inventory, compared to the 1677694's obsolete classification. Active status ensures ongoing availability, technical documentation, and manufacturer support.

Q: What is the impact of ROHS3 compliance on the 1082583?

A: ROHS3 represents current regulatory compliance for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Both parts meet RoHS requirements; the 1082583's ROHS3 status aligns with current EU and international regulatory frameworks.

Q: How does the salt water resistance feature on the 1082583 apply to standard applications?

A: Salt water resistance is an additional material property that does not negatively impact standard industrial applications. This feature extends operational capability to marine and coastal environments without affecting performance in conventional settings.
