Phoenix Contact 1460148 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460148 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood designed for top entry applications with PG29 thread size and B16 configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features aluminum die-cast housing with powder coating and is RoHS compliant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460148 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: B16
• Thread Size: PG29
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Yes

Allowable Variations:

• Ingress Protection Rating: The substitute may exceed the original IP65 specification (IP66/IP67/IP69K represents enhanced protection and is functionally compatible)
• Housing Finish: Variations in finish specification are acceptable provided structural and environmental protection requirements are maintained
• Product Status: Active status substitutes are preferred for obsolete parts

The Phoenix Contact 1412678 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. It maintains all mandatory parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring the original connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412678 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1460148. Both components are RoHS compliant and share identical core specifications for connector type, size, thread configuration, and operating temperature range. The 1412678 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1412678 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, along with salt water resistance. These improvements represent functional enhancements that do not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the 1460148. The dimensional specifications remain substantially equivalent (width variation of 0.039" / 1.00mm is within tolerance for mechanical fit).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1412678 directly replace the 1460148 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 1412678 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical specifications of the 1460148, including connector type, size, thread configuration, and operating temperature range. The enhanced ingress protection rating provides equivalent or superior performance for dust and moisture sealing.

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

A: The substitute's IP66/IP67/IP69K rating exceeds the original IP65 specification. IP66 provides dust-tight protection and high-pressure water jet resistance; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability; IP69K includes steam jet resistance. These enhancements are backward compatible with applications requiring only IP65 protection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The original 1460148 packaging specification is not provided. The 1412678 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The 1460148 is no longer in active production. The 1412678 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, offering improved environmental protection specifications while maintaining mechanical and thermal compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460148 and 1412678 are RoHS compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.
