Phoenix Contact 1460127 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460127 is a hood-style side entry connector from the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M40 threaded applications with B16 size configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460127 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood-style side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16 size class
• Thread Size: M40 threaded interface
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum (higher ratings such as IP66/IP67/IP69K are acceptable as they represent enhanced protection levels)

The substitute part 1412682 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412682 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1460127. Both connectors share identical core specifications: HEAVYCON® B series, B16 size, M40 thread, side entry hood configuration, and -40°C to 125°C operating range.

The 1412682 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental sealing standards. The substitute maintains full dimensional and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and current compliance certifications (ROHS3). The 1412682 includes salt water resistance as an additional feature, extending its applicability to marine and corrosive environments.

For applications where the original IP65 specification is the design requirement, the 1412682 exceeds this threshold and remains fully compatible. No functional degradation occurs through this substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412682 directly replace the 1460127 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, operating temperature range, and housing material. The 1412682 provides enhanced ingress protection and is mechanically and functionally compatible.

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

A: The 1460127 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412682 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). Higher IP ratings represent enhanced environmental sealing and are suitable for more demanding conditions.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460127 measures 3.681" L × 1.693" W × 2.992" H (94.60mm × 43.00mm × 76.00mm). The 1412682 measures 3.681" L × 1.732" W × 3.071" H (94.60mm × 44.00mm × 78.00mm). Length remains identical; width and height show slight increases. Verify mounting clearances in your specific application.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The 1460127 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 1412682 is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460127 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412682 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory compliance standards.

Q: Does the 1412682 include any additional features?

A: The 1412682 includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for marine and corrosive salt spray environments where the 1460127 may not be specified.
