Phoenix Contact 1460068 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460068 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with PG16 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide 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 where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460068 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B10 size class
• Thread Interface: Must accommodate PG16 thread size
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Must be aluminum die cast for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: Must be HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412618 satisfies all these criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional corrosion resistance features suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412618 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460068. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces (B10 size, PG16 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating specifications. The 1412618 offers superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing. The 1412618 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Dimensional variations are minimal (width and height differences of 0.039" and 0.039" respectively), maintaining compatibility with existing mounting infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412618 directly replace the 1460068 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size designation (B10), thread size (PG16), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1412618 provides enhanced ingress protection without compromising mechanical or thermal compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher IP rating on the 1412618?

A: The 1412618 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection compared to the 1460068's IP65 rating. This means the substitute offers complete dust protection and enhanced water resistance including high-pressure jet spray capability, suitable for more demanding environmental conditions while maintaining backward compatibility with IP65 applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460068 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1412618 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Why is the 1460068 obsolete?

A: The 1460068 has been superseded by the 1412618, which offers improved environmental protection and current regulatory compliance. Phoenix Contact has transitioned to the newer model for ongoing production and support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460068 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1412618 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current and future regulatory requirements.
