Phoenix Contact 1460081 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460081 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with M25 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 1460081 is determined by strict alignment with 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 M25 thread size
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Must use aluminum die cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1412592 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1412592 as Direct Substitute:

The Phoenix Contact 1412592 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1460081. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B10 size, side entry hood configuration) and thermal operating specifications (-40°C to 125°C). The substitute maintains full compatibility with existing mounting and connector infrastructure.

The 1412592 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, representing a functional upgrade without mechanical or electrical incompatibility. This enhanced protection is achieved through improved sealing design while maintaining the same aluminum die cast housing construction and locking clip mechanism.

Regulatory compliance is maintained through ROHS3 certification on the substitute part, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original component. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming equivalent export and tariff treatment.

The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring reliable procurement for replacement and new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412592 be used as a direct replacement for the 1460081 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (M25 thread, B10 size, side entry configuration) and thermal specifications (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412592 mounts using the same locking clip mechanism on the base bottom and maintains full compatibility with existing connector assemblies.

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

A: The original 1460081 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412592 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating indicates superior sealing performance under high-pressure water jet conditions, making it suitable for more demanding environmental applications.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the parts?

A: The parts are nearly identical in overall dimensions. The 1460081 measures 2.874" L × 1.693" W × 2.835" H (73.00mm × 43.00mm × 72.00mm). The 1412592 measures 2.874" L × 1.732" W × 2.835" H (73.00mm × 44.00mm × 72.00mm). The width difference of 0.039" (1.00mm) is within typical manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The original 1460081 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The substitute 1412592 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for production quantities of this component type.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original 1460081 carries RoHS compliance certification. The substitute 1412592 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which represents the current regulatory standard and supersedes the earlier RoHS designation.

Q: Does the 1412592 include salt water resistance?

A: Yes. The 1412592 is specified with salt water resistant features, providing enhanced corrosion protection in marine and coastal environments compared to the standard aluminum die cast construction of the original part.
