Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412563 directly replace the 1460020 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1412563 maintains identical mechanical interface specifications (M32 thread, B6 size, side entry hood configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1mm width variance (43mm to 44mm) is within acceptable tolerance for hood connector applications and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1412563 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K) and salt water resistance compared to the 1460020. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, housing material, and operating temperature specifications.

Q: Why is the 1460020 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460020 has been superseded by the 1412563 in the Phoenix Contact product line. The 1412563 offers equivalent mechanical and electrical performance with enhanced environmental protection, making it the current active product for this connector category.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460020 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412563 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available in production quantities.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 1460020 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1412563 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and are suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 1460020 has 922 pieces in stock (new original), and the 1412563 has 1037 pieces in stock (new original), indicating both parts are currently available for procurement.
