Phoenix Contact 1678033 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1678033 is a base-mount side entry heavy duty connector from the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for box mounting applications with PG29 thread entry. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently 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 1678033 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be base-mount, side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B24 size class
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 or higher

The substitute part 1082597 qualifies as an equivalent because it maintains the same connector type, size class, housing material, temperature range, and regulatory compliance. The primary differences are the thread entry configuration (M40 dual entry versus PG29 single entry) and enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65), both of which represent functional improvements rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082597 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1678033. Both components maintain identical core specifications for connector type, size class, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1082597 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and dual M40 thread entry capability, providing superior environmental sealing for applications requiring waterproof operation. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial applications. The 1082597 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for replacement and new designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082597 directly replace the 1678033 in existing installations?

A: The 1082597 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility as a base-mount B24 connector with identical housing material and operating temperature specifications. The primary consideration is the thread entry configuration: the 1678033 uses PG29 entry while the 1082597 uses dual M40 entry. Installation feasibility depends on the enclosure mounting interface design.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating on the 1082597 compared to the IP65 rating on the 1678033?

A: IP66/IP67 provides enhanced environmental protection. IP66 adds protection against high-pressure water jets, while IP67 adds temporary immersion capability. Both exceed the IP65 specification of the original part, offering improved sealing for demanding industrial environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1678033 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1082597 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1678033 and 1082597 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory standards for industrial component applications.

Q: Why is the 1678033 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1678033 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1082597 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, offering enhanced specifications and ongoing manufacturing support.
