Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460103 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Hood
• Style: Side entry
• Size designation: B16
• Thread size: PG21
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
• Housing material: Aluminum, die cast

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Ingress protection rating equal to or greater than IP65
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1412728 maintains all primary compatibility criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and improved environmental resistance through salt water resistant features. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, and operating temperature specifications, establishing direct functional equivalence within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412728 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460103. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® B series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, and operating temperature range.

The 1412728 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the 1460103 (IP65), providing superior dust and water resistance. This upgrade is compatible with applications originally specified for the 1460103, as higher ingress protection ratings maintain backward compatibility.

The 1412728 maintains current active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 1460103's obsolete status necessitates transition to the 1412728 for new procurements and system replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412728 directly replace the 1460103 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (hood), style (side entry), size (B16), thread size (PG21), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412728 provides enhanced ingress protection, making it functionally compatible with applications originally specified for the 1460103.

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

A: The 1460103 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412728 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). Higher ratings indicate greater resistance to dust ingress and water penetration under more severe conditions.

Q: Why is the 1460103 listed as obsolete?

A: Phoenix Contact has discontinued the 1460103 in favor of the 1412728, which offers improved environmental protection and current compliance certifications. The 1412728 is the active replacement within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460103 measures 3.681" L x 1.693" W x 2.559" H (94.60mm x 43.00mm x 65.00mm). The 1412728 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 2.362" H (94.60mm x 44.00mm x 60.00mm). These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility for standard PG21 mounting applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 1460103 holds RoHS compliance certification. The 1412728 holds ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8538.90.8180 HTSUS code.

Q: Is the 1412728 available in the same packaging as the 1460103?

A: The 1460103 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412728 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
