Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1678004 is based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Heavy Duty Connectors (same functional classification)
• Series: HEAVYCON B24 (same connector series designation)
• Size Designation: B24 (identical size standard)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant (meets or exceeds original RoHS requirements)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical environmental rating)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (same export control classification)
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180 (same tariff classification)

The substitute part 1082596 maintains all critical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters required for direct substitution in applications originally designed for the 1678004 coupling housing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Validity:

The Phoenix Contact 1082596 is a valid substitute for the obsolete 1678004 based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status. The substitute part 1082596 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which exceeds the original RoHS Compliant designation of the 1678004, ensuring continued compliance with current environmental regulations.

2. Product Status Transition: The 1678004 is classified as Obsolete, while the 1082596 is Active in current product lines. This transition from obsolete to active status ensures long-term availability and continued manufacturer support for the substitute component.

3. Export Control Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory treatment for international trade and procurement purposes.

4. Environmental Rating: Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels, indicating identical environmental performance characteristics and storage requirements.

5. Series and Size Compatibility: The 1082596 is explicitly designated as part of the HEAVYCON® B24 series with B24 size specification, matching the original 1678004 coupling housing designation and ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1082596 directly replace the 1678004 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical size designation (B24), series classification (HEAVYCON), manufacturer (Phoenix Contact), and critical regulatory parameters (RoHS compliance, MSL rating, ECCN, HTSUS code). The 1082596 is an active product with current manufacturer support, whereas the 1678004 is obsolete.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1678004 is classified as Obsolete. The 1082596 provides equivalent functionality as an Active product within the same HEAVYCON B24 series, ensuring continued availability for maintenance, repair, and replacement operations.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1082596 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an advancement over the original RoHS Compliant status of the 1678004. This upgrade ensures the substitute part meets current and future environmental compliance requirements. Both parts maintain identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1082596 is supplied in Bulk packaging, with 965 pieces available in new original stock condition.

Q: Are the environmental performance specifications identical?

A: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. The 1082596 provides additional environmental specification data, including IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating (Dust Tight, Water Resistant, Waterproof) and operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Q: What is the connector type and configuration of the substitute part?

A: The 1082596 is configured as a Base - Box Mount connector with Side Entry, Dual M32 thread size, and B24 size designation. It features a locking clip on the base bottom and includes a cover with feed-through and salt water resistant properties.
