Phoenix Contact 1771697 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1771697 is a heavy duty connector base designed for box mount applications with side entry configuration, PG21 thread size, and B16 size classification. This connector delivers 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 active alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1771697 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Size Classification: B16 size requirement
• Thread Size: PG21 thread specification
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Ingress Protection: IP65 or higher rating

The substitute part 1412867 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, and thread specifications while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status within the HEAVYCON® EVO series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1771697 to 1412867 Substitution

The 1412867 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1771697. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for connector type, size, thread configuration, and operating temperature range. The 1412867 is manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® EVO series and maintains active product status.

The 1412867 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance as an additional feature. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Dimensional variations are minimal (height difference of 1mm), and both employ identical locking mechanisms.

For applications requiring the original 1771697 specification, the 1412867 serves as a direct replacement with improved environmental protection capabilities and assured long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412867 replace the 1771697 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1412867 maintains identical connector type, style, size (B16), thread size (PG21), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), and locking mechanism. Dimensional differences are negligible (1mm height variation). The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) provides superior environmental sealing compared to the original IP65 specification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1771697 is classified as obsolete. The 1412867 is an active product within the HEAVYCON® EVO series, ensuring availability, technical support, and continued manufacturing.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). The 1412867 maintains equivalent compliance status while offering enhanced environmental protection features.

Q: What are the dimensional differences?

A: The 1412867 is 1mm taller (68.00mm versus 67.00mm height). Length and width dimensions remain identical (117.50mm L x 57.00mm W for 1412867 versus 117.00mm L x 57.00mm W for 1771697). These variations are within standard mechanical tolerance for box mount connector applications.

Q: Does the 1412867 include additional features?

A: Yes. The 1412867 adds salt water resistance to the standard cover and feed-through features present in the 1771697. This enhancement extends operational capability in corrosive marine and coastal environments.
