Phoenix Contact 1460061 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460061 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with M20 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. 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 currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating and is RoHS compliant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460061 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 size class
• Thread Size: M20 for mechanical mounting compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die cast construction
• Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The substitute part 1412620 maintains all these core parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection specifications. Both components share identical mechanical mounting interfaces and electrical performance characteristics within the specified temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412620 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460061 model. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® B series and maintain identical mechanical and thermal specifications. The 1412620 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (819 pieces in stock), whereas the 1460061 is obsolete.

The primary technical distinction is the enhanced ingress protection rating of the 1412620 (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the 1460061 (IP65). This represents an improvement in environmental sealing capability and does not introduce any compatibility issues for applications previously using the 1460061. The substitute part includes salt water resistance as an additional feature, extending its applicability to marine and corrosive environments.

Both components maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C), ensuring direct functional equivalence in thermal management and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412620 directly replace the 1460061 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (M20 thread), size designation (B10), connector style (top entry hood), and operating temperature specifications. The 1412620 provides enhanced environmental protection without introducing mechanical or thermal incompatibilities.

Q: What is the significance of the IP rating difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67/IP69K?

A: The 1460061 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412620 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). This represents an upgrade in sealing performance suitable for more demanding environmental conditions, including high-pressure water jets and submersion scenarios.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these two connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460061 measures 2.874" L x 1.693" W x 2.205" H (73.00mm x 43.00mm x 56.00mm). The 1412620 measures 2.874" L x 1.732" W x 2.244" H (73.00mm x 44.00mm x 57.00mm). These differences are within tolerance for standard mounting applications and do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is the 1412620 available in the same packaging as the 1460061?

A: The 1412620 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: Do both connectors maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 1460061 and 1412620 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The 1460061 is obsolete with 1007 pieces listed as new original stock. The 1412620 is in active production with 819 pieces currently in stock, making it the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.
