Phoenix Contact 1772308 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1772308 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Coupling unit designed for bottom entry applications with PG11 thread size in the HEAVYCON® D series. This component provides cable-to-cable connectivity with IP54 ingress protection (dust protected, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where continued availability is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1772308 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood - Coupling (maintains interface compatibility)
• Size: D7 (ensures mechanical fit and pin configuration)
• Series: HEAVYCON® D (guarantees design compatibility within product family)
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (maintains material specifications)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (thermal envelope requirement)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Entry Style: Bottom Entry or Top Entry (application-dependent; affects installation orientation)
• Thread Size: PG11 or M20 (both are standard industrial thread specifications for this connector class)
• Ingress Protection: IP54 or IP66 (both provide adequate environmental sealing; IP66 offers enhanced protection)
• Housing Color: Gray or Black (cosmetic variation; does not affect function)
• Product Status: Active or Obsolete (availability consideration)

The substitute part 1419259 maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters while introducing controlled variations in entry style (Top Entry vs. Bottom Entry), thread size (M20 vs. PG11), and ingress protection rating (IP66 vs. IP54). These variations are within acceptable engineering tolerances for heavy duty connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The 1772308 is obsolete, while substitute 1419259 is active. For new designs, maintenance programs, or long-term system support, the active part 1419259 is the preferred selection due to continued manufacturer availability and support.

Compliance and Certification

Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 1419259 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8538.90.8180, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Environmental Protection Rating

The 1419259 provides IP66 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) compared to the 1772308's IP54 rating (dust protected, water resistant). IP66 represents enhanced environmental sealing suitable for more demanding applications. Selection between these ratings depends on specific installation environment requirements.

Installation Configuration

The entry style difference (Bottom Entry vs. Top Entry) and thread size variation (PG11 vs. M20) require mechanical integration assessment. These parameters directly affect cable routing, panel mounting orientation, and connector assembly procedures. Verify that the installation envelope and cable management strategy accommodate the Top Entry configuration and M20 thread specification of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1419259 directly replace the 1772308 in existing installations?

A: Functional replacement is possible within the HEAVYCON® D series due to identical D7 size and connector type. However, the Top Entry configuration and M20 thread size of the 1419259 differ from the Bottom Entry PG11 specification of the 1772308. Mechanical integration must be verified for your specific installation geometry and cable routing requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the IP54 versus IP66 ingress protection ratings?

A: IP54 provides dust protection and water resistance suitable for general industrial environments. IP66 provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection, offering enhanced sealing for applications exposed to high-pressure water jets or submersion conditions. Selection depends on the actual environmental exposure of your installation.

Q: Why is the 1772308 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued manufacturing this part. The 1419259 represents the active product line continuation within the HEAVYCON® D series, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1772308 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1419259 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging specifications with your supplier to ensure compatibility with your procurement and inventory management procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 1772308 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1419259 is ROHS3 Compliant. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) consideration?

A: The 1772308 has MSL listed as Not Applicable. The 1419259 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. This represents an improvement in handling flexibility for the substitute part.
