The substitute is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412721 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460044 model. Both components share identical core specifications across connector type, style, size designation, thread interface, locking mechanism, operating temperature range, and housing material construction.

The 1412721 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability. This part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory certification level compared to the original RoHS designation of the 1460044.

The 1412721 provides enhanced ingress protection rating of IP66/IP67/IP69K, offering dust-tight and waterproof performance characteristics. This represents a functional enhancement over the original part specification. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the 1460044 was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412721 be used as a direct replacement for 1460044?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Hood), style (Top Entry), size (B16), thread size (M25), locking configuration, operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast). The 1412721 is classified as active product status, making it the current production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and ingress protection rating. The 1460044 is obsolete; the 1412721 is active. The 1412721 includes IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection specification, providing enhanced environmental sealing. The 1412721 carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the original part.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460044 measures 3.681" L x 1.693" W x 2.559" H (94.60mm x 43.00mm x 65.00mm). The 1412721 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 2.362" H (94.60mm x 44.00mm x 60.00mm). Length remains identical; width and height show slight variation. These dimensional differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard mounting applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460044 original specification does not indicate packaging type. The 1412721 substitute is available in Bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460044 carries RoHS compliance. The 1412721 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing a current regulatory certification standard. Both meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both the 1460044 and 1412721 operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, supporting industrial applications in extreme thermal environments.
