Phoenix Contact 1460128 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460128 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460128 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Hood)
• Entry style (Top Entry)
• Size designation (B16)
• Thread size (M25)
• Housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• Series family (HEAVYCON® B)

The substitute part 1412721 maintains all core compatibility parameters with the original 1460128. Both connectors share identical connector type, entry style, size, thread size, housing material, and operating temperature specifications. The primary technical distinction is the enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and the addition of salt water resistance features in the substitute part, representing an upgrade in environmental protection capability while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412721 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460128. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® B series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Selection Basis:

The 1412721 is an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the 1460128 is obsolete. The substitute part meets or exceeds all environmental protection requirements of the original, with enhanced IP rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance capability. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance status and operate across the identical temperature range.

The dimensional differences (width and height variance of 0.039" and 0.197" respectively) are within tolerance for mechanical mounting applications within the HEAVYCON® B connector family. The substitute part's enhanced ingress protection rating provides superior environmental sealing without compromising compatibility with existing mechanical interfaces or locking mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412721 directly replace the 1460128 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, entry style, size designation (B16), thread size (M25), and locking mechanism specifications. The 1412721 maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 1460128.

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

A: The 1412721 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the 1460128 (IP65) and includes salt water resistance. Both operate across -40°C to 125°C and use identical aluminum die-cast housing.

Q: Why is the 1460128 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460128 has been superseded by the 1412721 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1412721 offers improved environmental protection specifications while maintaining full compatibility with the original connector family.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460128 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412721 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors meet current compliance standards?

A: The 1460128 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412721 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory compliance. Both are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS coding (8538.90.8180).
