Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1690396 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with side entry orientation
• Size Designation: B24 size class
• Thread Interface: M32 thread size for mounting compatibility
• Ingress Protection: IP66/IP68/IP69K rating for environmental sealing
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Material & Finish: Aluminum die cast housing with powder coating
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1420923 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, with the exception of height dimension and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1420923 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1690396. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON-ADVANCE® series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical interface parameters.

The 1420923 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the 1690396 is obsolete. The height dimension difference of 6.3 mm (100.00 mm versus 93.70 mm) represents a design refinement in the active variant. This dimensional change does not affect the core functional parameters: thread interface (M32), size class (B24), ingress protection rating (IP66/IP68/IP69K), or environmental operating range (-40°C to 125°C).

Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and are suitable for applications requiring salt water resistance and powder-coated aluminum construction. The 1420923 is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels, supporting production and maintenance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1420923 directly replace 1690396 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1420923 maintains identical connector type, style, size designation (B24), thread size (M32), and ingress protection rating (IP66/IP68/IP69K). The height dimension reduction of 6.3 mm reflects a design optimization in the active product line. Verify available mounting space accommodates the reduced height before installation.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 1690396 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 1420923 is an active product with ongoing production support. For new designs and long-term procurement, the 1420923 is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there any environmental or compliance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical IP66/IP68/IP69K ingress protection, operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), feature salt water resistance, and maintain RoHS compliance. Housing material (aluminum die cast) and finish (powder coated) are identical.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 1420923 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 1690396 packaging specification was not provided in the original documentation.

Q: Are there any mechanical interface considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The M32 thread size and B24 size class remain constant between both parts. The primary mechanical consideration is the 6.3 mm height reduction in the 1420923. Confirm that mounting enclosures and adjacent components provide adequate clearance for the reduced height dimension.
