Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460071 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip configuration on base bottom
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412596 maintains identical specifications across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary distinction is enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent with improved environmental sealing capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412596 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460071 model. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical characteristics, and thermal operating ranges within the HEAVYCON® B series specification.

The 1412596 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K), providing superior environmental sealing for applications exposed to dust, water spray, and high-pressure washdown conditions. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL ratings suitable for standard industrial assembly processes.

The minimal dimensional variance (1mm width increase on the 1412596) does not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting interfaces. Selection between these parts should be based on application environmental requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412596 directly replace the 1460071 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical mounting interfaces, thread sizes (M25), locking mechanisms, and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412596 is mechanically and functionally compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating on the 1412596?

A: The ingress protection rating indicates enhanced sealing against dust ingress (IP6X) and water resistance under various conditions. The 1460071 does not specify an ingress protection rating. Applications requiring documented environmental sealing should utilize the 1412596.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460071 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1412596 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1412596 carries ROHS3 certification, representing the current regulatory standard. Both maintain EAR99 export classification and MSL Level 1 ratings.

Q: Why is the 1460071 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The 1412596 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring access to supported inventory and ongoing manufacturing availability.
