The substitute part 1412678 meets all these critical parameters while offering enhanced environmental protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412678 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460141. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: HEAVYCON® B series designation, B16 size class, PG29 thread interface, and aluminum die-cast housing construction. Both operate within the -40°C ~ 125°C temperature range and maintain RoHS compliance.

The primary distinction is product status: 1412678 is currently active in production, whereas 1460141 is obsolete. The 1412678 additionally provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection ratings and salt water resistance features, making it suitable for applications requiring extended environmental durability without compromising the core mechanical interface or thermal performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412678 directly replace 1460141 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG29 thread, top entry configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C ~ 125°C). The 1412678 maintains the same locking mechanism and housing material specifications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 1460141 to 1412678?

A: The 1460141 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 1412678 is the active production equivalent that maintains all critical functional specifications while offering enhanced environmental protection capabilities.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variation exists in width: 1460141 measures 1.693" W (43.00mm), while 1412678 measures 1.732" W (44.00mm). This 0.039" (1.00mm) difference does not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting interface functionality.

Q: Does the enhanced ingress protection of 1412678 affect compatibility?

A: No. The IP66/IP67/IP69K rating and salt water resistance of 1412678 represent functional enhancements that do not compromise compatibility with existing connector systems designed for the 1460141.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1460141 and 1412678 maintain RoHS compliance status, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
