Phoenix Contact 1460055 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460055 is a hood-style side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M25 thread 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 1460055 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new installations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460055 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 Interface: Must accommodate M25 thread size
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature locking clip on base bottom
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Material & Compliance: Must use aluminum die-cast housing and maintain RoHS compliance

The substitute part 1412600 maintains all core mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional salt water resistance features. Both parts share identical thread size, size designation, connector type, and operating temperature specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412600 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460055. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B10 size, side entry hood configuration) and thermal operating specifications (-40°C to 125°C).

The 1412600 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the 1460055 is obsolete. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and use aluminum die-cast housing construction.

The 1412600 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance features, making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection levels. The dimensional variance (1.732" W versus 1.693" W) is within tolerance for standard M25 mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412600 directly replace the 1460055 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical thread size (M25), size designation (B10), connector type (hood side entry), lock mechanism (locking clip on base bottom), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412600 provides equivalent or superior performance in all specified parameters.

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

A: The 1460055 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412600 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The 1412600 offers enhanced environmental sealing suitable for more demanding applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460055 and 1412600 are RoHS compliant and use aluminum die-cast housing with identical material specifications.

Q: What is the availability status of these connectors?

A: The 1460055 is obsolete. The 1412600 is in active production with current inventory availability. For new designs and replacements, the 1412600 is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460055 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412600 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for industrial component applications.

Q: Do these connectors support the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in all specified environments.
