Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1684994 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Must be Base - Panel Mount connector within the HEAVYCON® D series
• Configuration: Bottom entry style with D7 size designation
• Locking Mechanism: Locking clip (1) positioned on base bottom
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -40°C to 125°C range compatibility
• Environmental Protection: IP rating must meet or exceed IP54 specification
• Material Compliance: RoHS compliance required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1419250 maintains identical connector type, series, configuration, size, and locking mechanism specifications. It provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and improved material composition (aluminum die cast with salt water resistance), while preserving the same operating temperature range and regulatory compliance profile.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1419250 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1684994 connector base. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical connector specifications, and thermal operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® D series platform.

The 1419250 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67 rating compared to the IP54 specification of the original part, making it suitable for applications requiring greater ingress protection. The material upgrade from zinc die cast to aluminum die cast with salt water resistance features provides improved corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment and storage compatibility. The 1419250 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain constraints associated with the obsolete 1684994.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1419250 directly replace the 1684994 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical connector type, series designation, D7 size, bottom entry configuration, and locking mechanism specifications. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for direct substitution in panel mount applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector bases?

A: The 1419250 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP54) and uses aluminum die cast housing with salt water resistance features instead of zinc die cast. Both maintain the same operating temperature range and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with existing mating connectors?

A: No. The D7 size designation and bottom entry configuration remain constant across both parts, ensuring compatibility with existing HEAVYCON® D series mating connectors and cable assemblies.

Q: Why should I select the 1419250 over the obsolete 1684994?

A: The 1419250 is in active production with confirmed inventory availability. It provides superior environmental protection and corrosion resistance while maintaining identical mechanical interfaces and thermal specifications. The enhanced IP rating offers additional protection in harsh environments without requiring design modifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1684994 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1419250 is ROHS3 Compliant, both meeting current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
