Phoenix Contact 1772162 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1772162 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG36 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1772162 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector, Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B48 to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mating interfaces
• Thread Size: Must be PG36 for proper mounting and sealing
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains consistent mechanical and electrical interfaces
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65; higher ratings (IP66/IP67) are acceptable as they provide enhanced environmental protection
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Material & Compliance: Aluminum die cast housing with RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1424852 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced environmental protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424852 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1772162. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B48 size, PG36 thread), series designation, and thermal operating range. The 1424852 maintains full compatibility while offering:

• Active product status with current manufacturing support
• Enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65), providing superior environmental sealing
• Salt water resistance feature for corrosive environment applications
• Identical RoHS compliance and material specifications

The dimensional variance (height increase from 96.00mm to 107.50mm) reflects the enhanced sealing design and does not affect connector interface compatibility. The 1424852 is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the 1772162 was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424852 be used as a direct replacement for the 1772162?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size (B48), thread size (PG36), series designation, and operating temperature range. The 1424852 is mechanically and electrically compatible with all interfaces designed for the 1772162.

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

A: The 1772162 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1424852 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67 represents enhanced environmental sealing and is suitable for applications requiring greater moisture protection.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1424852 is taller (107.50mm versus 96.00mm) due to its enhanced sealing design. This dimensional change does not affect connector interface compatibility but should be verified in space-constrained installations.

Q: Why is the 1772162 obsolete?

A: The 1772162 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1424852 represents the current active product offering in the HEAVYCON® B series for this connector configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1772162 and 1424852 are RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental regulation adherence.

Q: What does the salt water resistant feature on the 1424852 provide?

A: The salt water resistant feature indicates enhanced corrosion protection for marine and coastal applications where salt spray exposure is a concern. This is an additional benefit not specified for the 1772162.
