Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460080 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with top entry design
• Size Designation: B10 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 threaded connection
• Locking Mechanism: Locking clip (2) on base bottom
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Ingress Protection Level: IP65 minimum requirement

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412596 maintains all core mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical connector type, size, thread specification, and locking configuration, enabling direct functional substitution in applications where the enhanced protection rating is acceptable or beneficial.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412596 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460080. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B10 size, top entry hood configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement and new installations.

The 1412596 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection levels. The upgrade in protection rating does not compromise compatibility with existing M25 threaded installations or B10 size requirements.

Both parts maintain aluminum die-cast housing construction and comply with applicable regulatory standards (RoHS3 for the substitute). The transition from the obsolete 1460080 to the active 1412596 is mechanically and electrically straightforward, with no design modifications required at the connector interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412596 directly replace the 1460080 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical thread size (M25), size designation (B10), connector type (hood), style (top entry), and locking mechanism (base bottom clips). The mechanical interface is fully compatible.

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

A: The 1460080 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412596 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof, and high-pressure jet resistant). The enhanced rating in the substitute part does not affect compatibility.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the two connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460080 measures 73.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 56.00mm H. The 1412596 measures 73.00mm L × 44.00mm W × 72.00mm H. The length remains identical; width and height differ slightly. Verify mounting space availability in your application.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1460080 is obsolete. The 1412596 is in active production with current inventory availability, making it the recommended choice for new designs and replacements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1460080 meets RoHS requirements. The 1412596 meets ROHS3 requirements, representing a more current compliance standard. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8538.90.8180.

Q: Is the salt water resistance feature of the 1412596 relevant for my application?

A: Salt water resistance is an additional feature of the 1412596 not specified for the 1460080. If your application involves coastal or marine environments, this feature provides enhanced protection. For standard industrial environments, this feature does not impact basic compatibility.
