Phoenix Contact 1690273 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1690273 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with M40 thread size and B16 configuration. This connector delivers IP66/IP68/IP69K ingress protection suitable for dust-tight, water-resistant, and waterproof environments. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and system continuity. The substitute part 1420919 provides functional equivalence while maintaining active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between Phoenix Contact 1690273 and 1420919 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Both are hood connectors with top entry configuration
• Size & Thread: Identical B16 size and M40 thread specification
• Lock Mechanism: Both utilize screw locks on hood
• Ingress Protection: Both maintain IP66/IP68/IP69K rating
• Housing Material & Finish: Identical aluminum die-cast construction with powder coating
• Operating Temperature: Both rated -40°C to 125°C
• Environmental Resistance: Both feature salt water resistance
• Electrical Classification: Both assigned EAR99 and HTSUS 8538.90.8180

The primary distinction is product status: 1690273 is obsolete while 1420919 is active. Dimensional variations (height: 100.00mm vs. 93.70mm; length: 126.00mm vs. 125.40mm) fall within tolerance for mechanical fit in standard M40 threaded applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Phoenix Contact 1420919

Part 1420919 is the recommended selection for new designs and procurement activities. This part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and supply chain availability. The ROHS3 compliance designation indicates alignment with current regulatory requirements, whereas the main part 1690273 carries only RoHS Compliant status. Both parts satisfy identical functional and environmental specifications for M40 threaded heavy duty connector hood applications.

Legacy System Considerations:

For systems currently deployed with 1690273, substitution to 1420919 is mechanically and electrically compatible. The dimensional reduction in height (6.30mm) and length (0.60mm) does not affect threaded engagement or sealing performance in standard M40 installations. Existing connector interfaces designed for 1690273 will accommodate 1420919 without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1420919 directly replace 1690273 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, lock mechanism, and ingress protection rating. Dimensional variations are minor and do not affect mechanical fit or functional performance in M40 threaded applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: Part 1690273 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. Part 1420919 is active and maintains current production, ensuring supply chain availability and manufacturer support for new procurements and system maintenance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are EAR99 classified and carry identical HTSUS codes. Part 1420919 carries ROHS3 Compliant status compared to RoHS Compliant for 1690273, indicating alignment with current regulatory standards. Part 1420919 also specifies REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect connector performance?

A: No. The height reduction of 6.30mm and length reduction of 0.60mm are within tolerance for M40 threaded hood connector applications. These variations do not impact sealing, ingress protection, or electrical performance.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Part 1690273 is supplied in standard packaging. Part 1420919 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and logistics planning.

Q: Are both parts suitable for salt water environments?

A: Yes. Both parts feature salt water resistance and maintain IP66/IP68/IP69K ingress protection for marine and coastal applications.
