Phoenix Contact 1678017 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1678017 is a Heavy Duty Connector base unit designed for box mount, side entry applications with PG29 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1678017 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast housing maintains structural and thermal characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required for regulatory alignment
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating; higher ratings (IP66/IP67) provide enhanced environmental protection

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1082597 meets all core substitution criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection and additional operational features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082597 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1678017 base connector. Both components share identical size designation (B24), connector type (base box mount), side entry configuration, housing material (aluminum die cast), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

The 1082597 provides enhanced environmental protection with IP66/IP67 rating compared to the IP65 rating of the 1678017, making it suitable for applications requiring superior dust and water resistance. The thread size difference (M40 versus PG29) reflects the dual entry configuration of the substitute part, which accommodates additional cable entry points while maintaining the same overall form factor and mounting interface.

Active product status of the 1082597 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for new installations and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1082597 directly replace the 1678017 in existing installations?

A: The 1082597 maintains mechanical compatibility through identical B24 size designation, box mount configuration, and aluminum die cast housing. The thread size difference (M40 versus PG29) reflects the dual entry capability of the substitute. Physical mounting and electrical interface compatibility should be verified against specific installation requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating on the 1082597 compared to IP65 on the 1678017?

A: IP66/IP67 provides enhanced ingress protection. IP66 adds protection against powerful water jets, while IP67 adds temporary immersion capability. Both exceed the IP65 dust tight and water resistant specification of the original part, offering greater environmental protection in demanding applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1678017 and 1082597 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the operational temperature range for both connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility across industrial and harsh environment applications.

Q: Why is the 1678017 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 1082597 represents the current active equivalent in the HEAVYCON® B series product line.
