Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part (1678114) and the alternative part (1082559) is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same)
• Series: HEAVYCON® B (same)
• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount (same)
• Style: Side Entry (same)
• Size: B6 (same)
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast (same)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (same)
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom (same)
• Housing Color: Gray (same)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (same)

Differentiating Parameters:

• Thread Size: PG21 (1678114) vs. M32 (1082559)
• Ingress Protection: IP65 (1678114) vs. IP66/IP67 (1082559)
• Configuration: Single entry (1678114) vs. Dual entry (1082559)
• Product Status: Obsolete (1678114) vs. Active (1082559)

The substitute part 1082559 maintains core mechanical and thermal compatibility while providing enhanced environmental protection and dual-entry capability. Thread size and entry configuration differences require mechanical interface verification during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete Part Mitigation): Part 1082559 is the designated substitute for 1678114. Both components share identical core specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, including connector size, housing material, thermal operating range, and mechanical mounting configuration. The substitute maintains full compatibility with the established design envelope for B6 base-mount connectors.

Compliance Considerations: Part 1678114 carries RoHS Compliant status. Part 1082559 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and are suitable for equivalent environmental applications.

Product Status Impact: The obsolete status of 1678114 necessitates transition to 1082559 for new procurement and long-term supply chain continuity. Part 1082559 is actively manufactured and stocked, ensuring availability for both replacement and new design applications.

Interface Verification Required: Thread size transition from PG21 to M32 and configuration change from single to dual entry require mechanical interface validation. Dimensional changes in width (45.00mm to 52.00mm) and height (74.00mm to 74.80mm) must be confirmed against mounting cavity specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1082559 directly replace 1678114 in existing installations? A: Mechanical compatibility requires verification. The thread size differs (PG21 vs. M32) and the substitute features dual-entry configuration versus single-entry. Mounting cavity dimensions and cable entry requirements must be assessed before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating upgrade in part 1082559? A: Part 1082559 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) compared to the original part's IP65 rating. This offers improved dust-tight and waterproof performance, suitable for more demanding environmental conditions. The upgrade does not compromise compatibility with applications requiring only IP65 protection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: Part 1678114 packaging is listed as unspecified. Part 1082559 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement quantities and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Does the dual-entry configuration of 1082559 affect compatibility? A: The dual-entry style of 1082559 provides additional entry points compared to the single-entry design of 1678114. This feature expands application flexibility but requires confirmation that the mounting environment can accommodate the increased width dimension (52.00mm vs. 45.00mm).

Q: What is the REACH compliance status of these parts? A: Part 1678114 REACH status is not specified in available documentation. Part 1082559 is listed as REACH Unaffected, indicating compliance with current chemical substance regulations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range? A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility for equivalent applications.
