Phoenix Contact 1772298 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1772298 is a base-mounted, 90° side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® D series, designed for panel mounting applications requiring PG11 thread entry. This connector provides IP54 ingress protection (dust protected, water resistant) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -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 where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1772298 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Panel Mount 90°
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: D7
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Series: HEAVYCON® D
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Required

Variable Parameters (Allowable Differences):

• Thread Size: PG11 (original) vs. M20 (substitute) — different panel entry standards
• Ingress Protection: IP54 (original) vs. IP66 (substitute) — enhanced environmental sealing
• Product Status: Obsolete (original) vs. Active (substitute) — availability and support
• Housing Color: Gray (original) vs. Black (substitute) — cosmetic variation

The substitute part 1419267 maintains all mandatory parameters while offering improved ingress protection (IP66 vs. IP54) and active product status. The thread size difference (M20 vs. PG11) requires panel modification or adapter consideration during installation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Panel Configuration): The Phoenix Contact 1419267 is not a direct drop-in replacement due to thread size difference (M20 vs. PG11). Panel entry holes must be evaluated and modified accordingly.

For New Designs and Maintenance: The 1419267 substitute is preferred for active production and new installations. It maintains all core connector functionality while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66 vs. IP54), ensuring superior performance in dust and moisture-laden environments. Both parts are RoHS compliant and operate across identical temperature ranges, supporting long-term regulatory compliance.

Availability Consideration: The original 1772298 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1054 pcs). The 1419267 maintains active product status with current inventory (943 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity and manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1419267 replace the 1772298 without panel modification? A: No. The thread size differs (M20 vs. PG11), requiring panel entry hole modification or use of appropriate adapters.

Q: What is the functional difference between IP54 and IP66 ratings? A: IP54 provides dust protection and water resistance against splashing. IP66 provides complete dust tightness and protection against powerful water jets. The 1419267 offers enhanced environmental sealing.

Q: Are both connectors compatible with the same mating components? A: Both maintain D7 size and side entry configuration within the HEAVYCON® D series. Verify mating connector specifications for thread size compatibility (PG11 vs. M20).

Q: What is the impact of the housing color difference? A: Housing color (gray vs. black) is a cosmetic variation with no functional impact on electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the 1772298 listed as obsolete? A: Product obsolescence indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued manufacturing. The 1419267 represents the active equivalent within the current product portfolio.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 1772298 and 1419267 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
