Phoenix Contact 1771642 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1771642 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount applications with side entry configuration, PG21 thread size, and B16 connector size. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1771642 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Base - Box Mount)
• Configuration style (Side Entry)
• Connector size (B16)
• Thread size (PG21)
• Lock mechanism (Locking Clip on Base Bottom)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast)
• RoHS compliance

The substitute part 1412863 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional environmental features (salt water resistance, feed through capability). Both parts share identical connector size, thread size, lock location, operating temperature range, and housing material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412863 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1771642. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG21 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating range. The 1412863 is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The 1412863 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings compared to the IP65 specification of the 1771642, with additional salt water resistance and feed through capability. These enhancements represent a performance upgrade without compromising mechanical or electrical compatibility. Dimensional variance is minimal (0.5mm length increase, 1mm height increase), remaining within typical installation tolerances for box mount applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature specifications (-40°C ~ 125°C), supporting equivalent performance in industrial control and automation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412863 directly replace the 1771642 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector size (B16), thread size (PG21), side entry configuration, lock mechanism, and operating temperature range. The minimal dimensional differences (0.5mm length, 1mm height) fall within standard installation tolerances for box mount applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1412863 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance and feed through features. The 1771642 is obsolete; the 1412863 is the active equivalent from Phoenix Contact's current product line.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the packaging difference?

A: The 1771642 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412863 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects logistics and inventory management but does not impact functional or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1771642 and 1412863 are RoHS compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: What environmental conditions support the use of the 1412863 over the 1771642?

A: The 1412863's enhanced IP66/IP67/IP69K rating and salt water resistance make it suitable for marine, coastal, and high-pressure wash environments where the IP65-rated 1771642 may be insufficient.
