Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460042 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood - Coupling with Bottom Entry configuration
  • Size Designation: B10 form factor required for mechanical compatibility
  • Thread Size: PG16 thread specification for mounting interface
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
  • Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
  • Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412581 maintains all core mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, temperature range, and housing material, establishing direct functional equivalence within the HEAVYCON® B product line.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement (1460042 to 1412581):

The Phoenix Contact 1412581 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460042. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B10 size, PG16 thread, bottom entry configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412581 maintains full backward compatibility while providing enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K rating and salt water resistance.

Compliance Considerations:

  • The 1412581 carries ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the 1460042
  • Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS coding
  • The 1412581 includes REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory alignment for current procurement

Product Status Impact:

The 1460042 is classified as obsolete, while the 1412581 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 1412581 is the appropriate selection. Existing installations using the 1460042 can transition to the 1412581 without mechanical or electrical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412581 directly replace the 1460042 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (Hood - Coupling), size (B10), thread specification (PG16), entry style (Bottom Entry), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

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

A: The 1412581 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance. Both parts maintain the same core mechanical interface and thermal performance.

Q: Why is the 1460042 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 1412581 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 1460042 is listed with no specified packaging designation, while the 1412581 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Consult with your supplier regarding packaging availability for your procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 1412581 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards. The 1460042, while RoHS Compliant, is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 1460042 and 1412581 operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.
