Phoenix Contact 1460125 Hood Connector Side Entry M32 B16 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460125 is a heavy-duty hood connector with side entry configuration, M32 thread size, and B16 form factor. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and system continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1460125 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16 form factor
• Thread Interface: M32 thread size
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die cast construction
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1412679 maintains all these core parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and active product status. The dimensional variance (height increase from 76.00mm to 78.00mm, width increase from 43.00mm to 44.00mm) remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for hood connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412679 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1460125. Selection is based on:

Product Status: The 1460125 is obsolete, while 1412679 is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 1412679 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. The 1412679 also carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with EU chemical regulations.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B16 size, side entry hood configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412679 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, offering superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical compatibility.

Environmental Performance: The 1412679 includes salt water resistance, extending application capability in corrosive environments while maintaining the same aluminum die-cast housing material and construction method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412679 directly replace the 1460125 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size designation (B16), thread size (M32), lock mechanism, and operating temperature range. The mechanical interface is fully compatible. The dimensional increase (1mm width, 2mm height) is negligible for hood connector mounting applications.

Q: What is the significance of the higher IP rating on the 1412679?

A: The 1412679 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection versus the original IP65. This represents enhanced dust and water ingress protection. IP66 adds protection against powerful water jets; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability; IP69K adds protection against high-temperature, high-pressure steam cleaning. These are functional improvements that do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460125 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The 1412679 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process, as this may affect order quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Why is the 1460125 obsolete?

A: The 1412679 supersedes the 1460125 as the current production model within the HEAVYCON® B series. The enhanced environmental protection and updated compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH) reflect current manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any applications where the 1460125 should not be substituted?

A: No restrictions are identified based on provided specifications. The enhanced ingress protection of the 1412679 makes it suitable for all applications previously served by the 1460125, including those requiring IP65 or lower protection ratings.
