Phoenix Contact 1460131 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The Phoenix Contact 1460131 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with PG21 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component 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 substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460131 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:
- Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Side Entry configuration
- Size Designation: B16 size class required for mechanical compatibility
- Thread Size: PG21 thread specification for mounting interface compatibility
- Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains form factor and interface standards
- Operating Temperature: Minimum -40°C to 125°C range required
- Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction for thermal and mechanical properties
- RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
The substitute part 1412720 meets all these critical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional salt water resistance features.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The Phoenix Contact 1412720 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460131. Both components share identical core specifications for connector type, size, thread interface, and operating temperature range. The 1412720 maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering superior ingress protection ratings and active product status.
Selection of the 1412720 is supported by:
- Identical HEAVYCON® B series architecture and mounting interface
- Matching B16 size and PG21 thread specifications
- Equivalent operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
- Identical housing material (aluminum die cast) and locking mechanism
- Active product status with current manufacturing support
- RoHS compliance maintained across both parts
The enhanced IP66/IP67/IP69K rating of the 1412720 provides increased environmental protection compared to the IP65 specification of the 1460131, making it suitable for applications requiring higher ingress protection without design modification.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 1412720 directly replace the 1460131 in existing installations?
A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG21 thread), locking mechanisms, and operating temperature specifications. The 1412720 provides equivalent or superior performance in all critical parameters.
Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings?
A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67/IP69K extends protection to include high-pressure water jets (IP66), temporary immersion (IP67), and high-temperature/high-pressure steam jets (IP69K). The 1412720 offers broader environmental protection.
Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?
A: Minor dimensional variations exist in width (43.00mm versus 44.00mm) and height (65.00mm versus 60.00mm). These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting interface specifications.
Q: Why is the 1460131 listed as obsolete?
A: The 1460131 has been superseded by the 1412720 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1412720 provides enhanced ingress protection and salt water resistance while maintaining full compatibility with existing mounting interfaces.
Q: Is the 1412720 available in the same packaging as the 1460131?
A: The 1412720 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against specific procurement requirements.
Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. Both the 1460131 and 1412720 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.
