• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C range
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 1412651 meets all mandatory mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced environmental protection specifications. Both parts share identical core dimensions, material composition, and thermal operating range, ensuring direct functional equivalence in applications requiring B16 PG21 hood connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412651 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using or specifying the obsolete 1460140. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, material specifications, and thermal operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412651 substitute offers enhanced environmental protection with IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and salt water resistance features, making it suitable for applications requiring extended environmental durability. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on application environmental exposure requirements. The 1412651 is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and enhanced environmental specifications, while maintaining complete mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing B16 PG21 connector installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412651 directly replace the 1460140 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces, locking mechanisms, thread sizes, and housing materials. The B16 PG21 connector hood mounting points are equivalent, allowing direct substitution without mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating on the 1412651?

A: The 1412651 provides enhanced ingress protection against dust and water ingress. The 1460140 does not specify an ingress protection rating. Applications exposed to moisture, dust, or washdown environments benefit from the 1412651's environmental sealing specifications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share the same length (3.681" / 94.60mm) and height (2.992" / 76.00mm). The width differs slightly: 1460140 measures 1.772" (45.00mm) while 1412651 measures 1.732" (44.00mm). This 1mm difference does not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting.

Q: Why is the 1460140 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1460140 has been superseded by the 1412651, which offers equivalent core functionality with enhanced environmental protection and active manufacturing status.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1460140 and 1412651 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460140 packaging specification is not provided. The 1412651 is available in bulk packaging format.
