Phoenix Contact 1460100 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460100 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top 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 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.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460100 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M25 thread specification
• 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
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating

The substitute part 1412729 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original specification, representing a functional upgrade while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412729 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460100. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, style, size class, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material construction.

The substitute part 1412729 is currently in active production status with full ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original 1460100 is obsolete. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), offering improved environmental sealing performance while maintaining complete mechanical compatibility. This upgrade in protection rating does not introduce any compatibility constraints for applications previously specified with the original part.

Component selection should prioritize the active production part 1412729 for all new designs and replacement applications requiring HEAVYCON® B series M25 top entry hood connectors in the B16 size class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412729 substitute directly replace the 1460100 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, thread specifications (M25), size class (B16), locking mechanisms, and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The substitute is mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

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

A: The original 1460100 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412729 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating represents improved environmental sealing performance and does not create compatibility issues for applications specified with IP65.

Q: Why is the 1460100 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460100 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412729 is the active production equivalent and should be used for all new procurements and design implementations.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The original 1460100 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The substitute 1412729 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both parts are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS codes (8538.90.8180).

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original 1460100 was supplied in standard packaging. The substitute 1412729 is available in bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Are dimensional differences significant for mechanical integration?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist: the 1412729 width is 1.732" (44.00mm) versus 1.693" (43.00mm) for the 1460100, and height is 2.362" (60.00mm) versus 2.559" (65.00mm). Length remains identical at 3.681" (94.60mm). These variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for die cast aluminum housings and do not affect mechanical mounting or functional compatibility.
