Phoenix Contact 1460129 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460129 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood designed for top entry applications with PG21 thread size and B16 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) in a compact aluminum die-cast housing suitable for industrial environments operating between -40°C and 125°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and new installations requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460129 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be PG21 for proper mounting interface
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast to maintain structural and thermal properties
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The substitute part 1412724 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance, making it a direct functional upgrade within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412724 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460129. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG21 thread, top entry configuration) and thermal operating ranges, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing installations.

The 1412724 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 1460129. Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and equivalent ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

The 1412724 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings compared to the IP65 rating of the 1460129, along with documented salt water resistance. These improvements represent a functional upgrade suitable for applications requiring higher ingress protection without modification to mounting or electrical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412724 directly replace the 1460129 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications (B16 size, PG21 thread, top entry style, locking clip configuration) and thermal operating ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412724 mounts identically and requires no interface modifications.

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

A: The 1460129 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412724 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating in the 1412724 offers greater environmental sealing without affecting mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460129 and 1412724 are RoHS Compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: Why is the 1460129 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460129 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412724 represents the current production equivalent and is the recommended replacement for new designs and system maintenance.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460129 measures 3.681" L × 1.693" W × 2.559" H. The 1412724 measures 3.681" L × 1.732" W × 2.362" H. These differences do not affect mounting compatibility or functional performance in standard PG21 installations.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both parts?

A: Both connectors have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
