Phoenix Contact 1773637 HEAVYCON® HV Base Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1773637 is a heavy-duty base connector for box mount applications with side entry configuration, PG16 thread size, and HV3 contact size. This connector is rated IP65 (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and new installations requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1773637 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration
• Thread Size: PG16 thread compatibility is mandatory for mechanical fit
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing with equivalent mechanical durability
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating for environmental sealing
• Manufacturer Compatibility: Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON® series maintains cross-compatibility within the product line

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412846 meets these criteria as a HEAVYCON® EVO series connector with identical thread size (PG16), equivalent operating temperature range, and enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K), while maintaining the same base connector type and side entry configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412846 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1773637 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical PG16 thread sizing and base-mount configuration, ensuring direct mechanical fit in existing installations.

Environmental Performance: The 1412846 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, offering superior dust and water resistance without compromising the original application requirements.

Thermal Compatibility: Both parts operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range, maintaining thermal performance specifications for the application.

Compliance Status: The 1412846 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The original 1773637 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast housing in both connectors provides equivalent mechanical durability and environmental sealing capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412846 directly replace the 1773637 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical PG16 thread sizing, base-mount configuration, and side entry style. The mechanical interface is compatible. The 1412846 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), which exceeds the original specification.

Q: Are there differences in contact sizing between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1773637 uses HV3 contacts, while the 1412846 uses B10 contacts. These are different contact size families within the HEAVYCON® product line. Mating connectors must be verified for compatibility with the substitute part's contact size.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1773637 is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 1412846 is an active product with ongoing production and availability. For new installations or long-term system support, the active substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the 1412846 include salt water resistance?

A: Yes. The 1412846 includes salt water resistant features, providing additional environmental protection beyond the original 1773637 specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1773637 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1412846 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature compatibility?

A: Both connectors operate across -40°C to 125°C, maintaining identical thermal performance specifications for the application environment.
