Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412684 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 1460121. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG29 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating ranges. The 1412684 provides enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance features, making it suitable for applications requiring superior environmental sealing. The 1412684 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Dimensional variations are minimal (width increase of 1mm, height increase of 3mm), which typically do not impact mounting compatibility in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412684 be used as a direct replacement for the 1460121?

A: Yes. Both components are HEAVYCON® B series hood connectors with identical B16 size and PG29 thread specifications. Mechanical mounting interfaces and electrical contact configurations are compatible. The 1412684 provides enhanced environmental protection without compromising form factor compatibility.

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

A: The 1460121 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412684 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings indicate higher resistance to water ingress under pressure and spray conditions.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1412684 is 1mm wider (44mm versus 43mm) and 3mm taller (78mm versus 76mm) than the 1460121. These differences are within typical mounting tolerance ranges for industrial applications.

Q: What is the product status significance?

A: The 1460121 is classified as obsolete, indicating Phoenix Contact no longer manufactures or supports this component. The 1412684 is active, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460121 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412684 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing compliance with the most current RoHS directive revision.
