Phoenix Contact 1460076 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460076 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG29 thread size and B10 form factor. This connector 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 obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features aluminum die-cast housing with powder coating and is RoHS compliant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460076 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
Size Designation: Must be B10 form factor
Thread Size: Must be PG29 for mechanical compatibility
Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
Housing Material: Must be aluminum die-cast construction
RoHS Status: Must maintain RoHS compliance

The substitute part 1412599 meets all these core substitution criteria. While it provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, these represent functional improvements rather than deviations from the allowed parameter set. The dimensional variance (width 1.732" versus 1.693") remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for hood connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412599 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460076. Both components share identical core specifications across connector type, form factor, thread size, temperature range, and material composition. The 1412599 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the 1460076 is obsolete.

The 1412599 provides enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 specification, along with documented salt water resistance. These enhancements do not compromise compatibility and represent functional improvements suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection levels.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature specifications (-40°C to 125°C), ensuring regulatory and thermal compatibility in existing system designs. The minor dimensional variance in width (1mm difference) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for heavy duty connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412599 directly replace the 1460076 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size designation (B10), thread size (PG29), series classification (HEAVYCON® B), operating temperature range, and housing material. The 1412599 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the higher IP rating on the 1412599?

A: The 1412599 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection versus the original IP65 rating. This represents enhanced dust and water ingress protection. IP66 adds protection against powerful water jets; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability; IP69K adds high-temperature, high-pressure steam cleaning resistance. These are functional enhancements that do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the width difference (1.693" to 1.732") affect installation?

A: The 1mm width increase remains within standard mechanical tolerances for heavy duty connector applications and does not affect mounting or functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1460076 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460076 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412599 represents the current active product offering with equivalent core functionality and enhanced environmental protection capabilities.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460076 and 1412599 maintain full RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 1412599?

A: The 1412599 is available in bulk packaging, with current inventory of 913 pieces in stock.
