Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460126 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 form factor
• Thread Size: Must be M40
• 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
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1412700 meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material. The primary technical advancement is enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance, representing a direct upgrade path for the obsolete 1460126.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412700 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460126. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, including connector type, form factor, thread size, and operating temperature range.

The 1412700 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1046 pcs), whereas the 1460126 is obsolete. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, along with documented salt water resistance. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status and aluminum die-cast housing construction.

For applications requiring the original IP65 specification, the 1412700 remains fully compatible as it exceeds the ingress protection requirement. The enhanced protection rating does not introduce incompatibility with existing mechanical or electrical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412700 directly replace the 1460126 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M40 thread, B16 size, top entry configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412700 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) without introducing incompatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 1412700 provides superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance. Both maintain identical form factor, thread size, operating temperature range, and housing material specifications.

Q: Why is the 1460126 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460126 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412700 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460126 packaging information is not specified in available documentation. The 1412700 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Do both connectors meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 1460126 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412700 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory alignment. Both maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS coding (8538.90.8180).
