Phoenix Contact 1460050 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460050 is a heavy-duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with PG29 thread size and B10 form factor. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460050 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: B10
• Thread Size: PG29
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The substitute part 1412607 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters. The primary distinction is an enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and the addition of salt water resistance, representing a functional upgrade rather than a deviation from the original specification envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412607 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460050. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, thread specifications, and thermal operating ranges within the HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412607 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1138 pieces), whereas the 1460050 is obsolete. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and equivalent housing construction.

The 1412607 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings and salt water resistance, representing a specification upgrade. These enhancements do not introduce incompatibility; they extend the operational envelope for applications requiring superior ingress protection or corrosive environment exposure.

For applications where the original IP65 specification is the design requirement, the 1412607 remains fully compatible and suitable for direct replacement without modification to mounting interfaces or electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412607 directly replace the 1460050 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, thread sizes (PG29), form factors (B10), and locking mechanisms. The 1412607 is mechanically and functionally interchangeable with the 1460050.

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

A: The 1412607 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance compared to the 1460050 (IP65). Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C) and housing materials.

Q: Why is the 1460050 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460050 has been superseded by the 1412607 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1412607 offers improved environmental protection specifications while maintaining full mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460050 was supplied with standard packaging, while the 1412607 is available in bulk packaging. This does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 1460050 and 1412607 are RoHS compliant and carry equivalent environmental certifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 1460050 (obsolete) has 983 pieces in stock. The 1412607 (active) has 1138 pieces in stock and represents the current production alternative.
