Phoenix Contact 1460040 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460040 is a hood-style side entry connector in the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M25 threaded applications with IP65 ingress protection. This connector features a B10 size configuration with a locking clip mechanism on the base bottom, suitable for dust-tight and water-resistant applications in industrial environments.

The 1460040 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new installations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460040 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood-style, side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B10 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M25 threaded interface
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature locking clip on base bottom
• Housing Material: Must be aluminum, die cast construction
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Series Compatibility: Must be HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412625 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical core mechanical and electrical interfaces, enabling direct substitution in applications where the enhanced protection rating is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412625 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460040. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, mounting configurations, and core electrical specifications. The 1412625 maintains full backward compatibility while offering enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65).

Selection of the 1412625 is supported by its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The part meets current ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintains the same operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity classification as the original part.

The enhanced ingress protection rating of the substitute part provides additional environmental resistance without requiring any design modifications or interface changes to existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412625 directly replace the 1460040 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical B10 size, M25 thread, side entry configuration, and locking clip mechanism. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible. No modifications to mounting hardware or panel cutouts are required.

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

A: The 1460040 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412625 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating indicates greater resistance to high-pressure water jets and temporary submersion. Both ratings exceed the base IP65 requirement.

Q: Why is the 1460040 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460040 has been superseded by the 1412625 in the Phoenix Contact product line. The 1412625 offers improved environmental protection and current compliance certifications while maintaining full interface compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature or compliance differences?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The 1412625 meets ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards, while the 1460040 meets RoHS compliance. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460040 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1412625 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume applications and production environments.
