Phoenix Contact 1460045 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460045 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector features a B10 size configuration with a locking clip mechanism positioned on the base bottom. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

The necessity to identify alternative models stems from the obsolete product status, which may result in limited availability and extended lead times. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across critical mechanical and electrical parameters while potentially offering enhanced features such as improved ingress protection ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for Phoenix Contact 1460045 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 size classification required
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size mandatory for mechanical compatibility
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom required
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412604 satisfies all mandatory mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary distinction is the addition of enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features in the substitute model, with minor dimensional variation in width (44mm vs 43mm).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1412604 is the designated substitute for obsolete part 1460045 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: Part 1412604 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (844 pcs), whereas 1460045 is obsolete with limited stock (797 pcs). Active status ensures long-term supply chain reliability and technical support continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. Part 1412604 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes, confirming export and tariff compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: All critical mechanical parameters align identically: B10 size, M25 thread, top entry hood configuration, and locking clip mechanism. The 1mm width increase (44mm vs 43mm) remains within typical mechanical tolerance ranges for connector mounting applications.

Enhanced Environmental Protection: Part 1412604 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and salt water resistance, offering superior environmental sealing compared to the main part. This enhancement does not compromise backward compatibility in standard applications.

Thermal & Moisture Performance: Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) confirm equivalent performance under thermal and moisture stress conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412604 directly replace 1460045 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B10 size, top entry hood configuration, locking clip mechanism) and thermal operating ranges. The 1mm width dimensional increase does not affect standard mounting compatibility. Electrical and mechanical performance parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector models?

A: The substitute part 1412604 includes enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features not specified in the original 1460045. Both parts maintain identical core connector specifications and regulatory compliance.

Q: Why is part 1460045 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued active production and support for this model. Part 1412604 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring access to ongoing technical support and reliable supply.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Part 1460045 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Part 1412604 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Part 1412604 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both share identical HTSUS tariff classification (8538.90.8180).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.
