Phoenix Contact 1460028 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460028 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features a locking clip mechanism on the base bottom and is constructed from die-cast aluminum with powder coating for durability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460028 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B6 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M25 thread specification
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature locking clip on base bottom
• Housing Material & Construction: Must be aluminum die-cast construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliant status
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412562 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While it provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance features, these represent functional improvements rather than deviations from the core mechanical and electrical specifications required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412562 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1460028. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, thread specifications, and locking mechanisms, ensuring direct compatibility in existing installations and new designs.

The 1412562 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (760 pcs), whereas the 1460028 is obsolete. For any new procurement or system redesign, the 1412562 should be specified as the primary component.

The 1412562 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP69K rating and salt water resistance, representing a functional upgrade path. Both components maintain full RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature specifications (-40°C to 125°C), supporting equivalent performance across industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412562 directly replace the 1460028 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (hood), style (side entry), size (B6), thread size (M25), lock mechanism (locking clip on base bottom), housing material (aluminum die-cast), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The 1460028 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412562 provides IP66/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The 1412562 offers enhanced environmental sealing suitable for high-pressure wash and submersion scenarios.

Q: Why is the 1460028 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460028 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412562 represents the active production equivalent and should be used for all new designs and procurement activities.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460028 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The 1412562 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 1460028 and 1412562 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What additional features does the 1412562 provide?

A: The 1412562 includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for marine and coastal applications where corrosive salt spray exposure is a design consideration.
