Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1420918 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1690192 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Both are hood connectors with top entry configuration
• Contact Arrangement: Both utilize B16 contact size
• Thread Interface: Both feature M32 thread size for panel mounting
• Locking Mechanism: Both employ screw locks on the hood
• Housing Material & Construction: Both use aluminum die-cast housing with powder coating
• Operating Temperature: Both support -40°C to 125°C range
• Environmental Protection: Both provide salt water resistance
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The 1420918 represents an active production alternative to the obsolete 1690192, maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering improved ingress protection (IP66/IP68/IP69K versus IP65/IP68/IP69K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1420918 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1690192 in all applications requiring hood connectors with M32 thread, B16 contact arrangement, and top entry configuration. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces and operating specifications. The 1420918 offers the additional advantage of active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and carry equivalent regulatory classifications. The minor improvement in ingress protection rating (IP66 versus IP65 at the lower end) provides enhanced environmental sealing without compromising compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1420918 directly replace the 1690192 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (M32 thread), contact arrangements (B16), and locking mechanisms (screw locks on hood). No mechanical modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings between these parts?

A: The 1690192 provides IP65/IP68/IP69K protection, while the 1420918 provides IP66/IP68/IP69K protection. The difference exists only at the IP6x level; both maintain equivalent IP68 and IP69K ratings for water and dust resistance in harsh environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The 1690192 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1420918 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1690192 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1690192 has been superseded by the 1420918 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1420918 maintains full compatibility while offering active production support and improved specifications.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1690192 and 1420918 operate across the -40°C to 125°C temperature range, making them suitable for identical thermal environments.

Q: Are both connectors salt water resistant?

A: Yes. Both components feature salt water resistance, qualifying them for marine and coastal industrial applications.
