Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460120 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 PG29 for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating

The substitute part 1412702 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, and operating temperature range. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, representing a functional upgrade while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412702 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460120. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical characteristics, and thermal operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Compliance Considerations: The 1412702 maintains RoHS compliance with ROHS3 certification, exceeding the original RoHS Compliant status of the 1460120. The substitute is classified as REACH Unaffected, confirming regulatory alignment for European market applications.

Ingress Protection Enhancement: The substitute provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection versus the original IP65 rating. This represents an upgrade in environmental sealing capability, suitable for applications requiring enhanced dust and water resistance without requiring design modifications.

Availability: The 1412702 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity for replacement and new installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412702 directly replace the 1460120 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical connector type, style, size designation (B16), thread size (PG29), locking mechanism, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

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

A: The original 1460120 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412702 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating indicates superior sealing performance in high-pressure water jet and submersion scenarios.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the parts?

A: Minor dimensional variation exists in width: 1460120 measures 1.693" (43.00mm) while 1412702 measures 1.732" (44.00mm). Length and height remain identical at 3.681" (94.60mm) and 2.992" (76.00mm) respectively. This 0.039" (1.00mm) width difference does not affect standard mounting applications.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for the substitute?

A: The 1412702 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the original part's unspecified packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original 1460120 is RoHS Compliant. The substitute 1412702 meets the more stringent ROHS3 Compliant standard, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future market requirements.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The 1460120 is no longer in active production. The 1412702 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, offering enhanced environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
