Phoenix Contact 1677869 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1677869 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with PG21 thread size and B16 connector size. 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 suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1677869 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Classification: B16 connector size required for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast housing maintains structural and thermal properties
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C operational envelope
• RoHS Compliance: Regulatory requirement for component selection

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1082587 meets these core substitution criteria. While it introduces enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and modified thread configuration (M32 versus PG21), it maintains the fundamental B16 size, side entry base mount architecture, and aluminum die cast construction necessary for functional equivalence in applications where the original 1677869 is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082587 serves as the active substitute for the obsolete 1677869 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1677869 is classified as obsolete, while the 1082587 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and supply chain support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components meet RoHS requirements. The 1082587 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards.

Core Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain B16 size classification and side entry base mount configuration, ensuring compatibility with existing mechanical interfaces and mounting structures.

Environmental Protection: The 1082587 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) compared to the original IP65 rating, offering superior dust and water resistance without compromising the base functional architecture.

Thermal Performance: Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) ensures thermal compatibility in existing applications.

Thread Configuration Consideration: The transition from PG21 to M32 threading requires mechanical interface verification during installation planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082587 directly replace the 1677869 in existing installations?

A: Both components share B16 size, side entry base mount architecture, and aluminum die cast construction. The primary consideration is thread size transition from PG21 to M32, which requires mechanical interface compatibility verification with the mounting enclosure.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating upgrade in the 1082587?

A: The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 - dust tight, water resistant, waterproof) compared to the original IP65 specification (dust tight, water resistant). This represents an improvement in environmental sealing capability and is suitable for applications requiring higher protection levels.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1677869 and 1082587 operate across -40°C to 125°C, maintaining thermal compatibility for equivalent applications.

Q: What does the "Dual" designation in the 1082587 style indicate?

A: The 1082587 features dual M32 thread configuration, providing multiple entry points compared to the single PG21 entry of the original part. This affects mechanical mounting and enclosure interface design.

Q: Is the 1082587 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1082587 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: Why is the 1677869 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1082587 represents the current active equivalent within the Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON® B series product line.
