Phoenix Contact 1460056 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460056 is a hood-style top entry heavy duty connector (HEAVYCON® B series) with M32 thread size and B10 configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460056 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood-style, top entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B10 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M32
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65; higher ratings (IP66, IP67, IP69K) are acceptable as they provide equal or superior environmental sealing
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom

The substitute part 1412605 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412605 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460056. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, thread specifications, and thermal operating ranges. The 1412605 provides superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing in salt water or high-pressure wash environments.

From a compliance perspective, the 1412605 meets current RoHS3 requirements and maintains REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new installations and system upgrades. The active product status of 1412605 guarantees long-term availability and supply chain continuity, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412605 directly replace the 1460056 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are mechanically and electrically compatible. They share identical M32 thread size, B10 configuration, top entry hood style, and operating temperature range. The 1412605 can be installed in any application originally designed for the 1460056.

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

A: The 1460056 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412605 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). Higher IP ratings indicate superior environmental sealing and are backward compatible with applications requiring IP65 or lower.

Q: Why is the 1460056 obsolete?

A: The 1460056 has been superseded by the 1412605, which offers improved environmental protection and current regulatory compliance. Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer model.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460056 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412605 is available in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and logistics considerations.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: The 1460056 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412605 meets the more stringent ROHS3 Compliant standard and is REACH Unaffected, ensuring compliance with current European and international regulations.

Q: What is the physical dimension difference?

A: Both parts share the same length (73.00mm) and height (72.00mm). The 1412605 width is 44.00mm compared to 43.00mm for the 1460056, a 1.00mm difference that does not affect mechanical compatibility in standard mounting configurations.
