Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1460137 can be substituted with part number 1412555 based on the following critical parameters that remain consistent across both components:

• Connector Type & Style: Both are Hood - Coupling connectors with bottom entry configuration
• Size Designation: Both utilize B6 size classification
• Thread Size: Both feature M20 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate from -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Both use aluminum die cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements
• Cable Configuration: Both support cable-to-cable connections

The primary distinction between these parts is the enhanced ingress protection rating of the substitute (IP66/IP69K versus IP65) and improved environmental resistance features, making the 1412555 suitable for applications requiring higher protection levels while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412555 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460137. The 1412555 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K) and active product status. The upgrade in protection rating and salt water resistance features provides improved environmental durability without compromising compatibility with existing M20 B6 bottom entry connector installations. The active product status of the 1412555 ensures ongoing availability and support for future procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412555 directly replace the 1460137 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size designation (B6), thread size (M20), operating temperature range, and housing material. The mechanical interface and locking mechanism are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in cable-to-cable applications.

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

A: The 1412555 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K) compared to the 1460137 (IP65) and includes salt water resistance features. Both maintain the same mechanical footprint and electrical characteristics within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: Why is the 1460137 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460137 has been superseded by the 1412555, which offers improved environmental protection ratings and active manufacturing status. Phoenix Contact recommends the 1412555 for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460137 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412555 is available in bulk packaging. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1460137 and 1412555 operate across -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.
