Phoenix Contact 1460063 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460063 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG16 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component 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 ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460063 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood, Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10
• Thread Size: PG16
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant

The substitute part 1412622 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance. Both parts share identical thread size, connector type, size designation, and operating temperature specifications, establishing direct substitutability within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412622 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460063. Both components are RoHS compliant and maintain identical mechanical interfaces, thread specifications, and thermal operating ranges. The 1412622 is currently in active production status with 984 units available in inventory, compared to the 1460063 which is obsolete with limited remaining stock of 714 units.

The 1412622 provides enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 specification, along with documented salt water resistance. These improvements do not compromise compatibility with existing mechanical mounting or electrical interfaces. For applications requiring the original IP65 specification, the 1460063 remains functionally equivalent where stock availability permits; however, the 1412622 is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and superior environmental protection characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412622 directly replace the 1460063 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (Hood), style (Top Entry), size designation (B10), thread size (PG16), lock mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The 1460063 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412622 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating in the substitute part does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460063 and 1412622 are RoHS compliant.

Q: Why is the 1460063 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460063 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412622 is the active production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1460063 is supplied with unspecified packaging. The 1412622 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both components operate from -40°C to 125°C.

Q: Is the 1412622 salt water resistant?

A: Yes. The 1412622 includes salt water resistance as a documented feature. The 1460063 does not list this specification.
