Phoenix Contact 1460157 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460157 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood for top entry applications with M40 thread size and B16 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460157 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood, Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16
• Thread Size: M40
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1412654 maintains all core mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters. The primary distinction is an enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and active product status, making it suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original obsolete part is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412654 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460157. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (M40 thread, B16 size, top entry configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412654 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) of the 1412654 provides superior environmental sealing compared to the original IP65 specification. This upgrade is backward compatible for applications requiring the original IP65 level, as higher ingress protection ratings encompass lower classifications. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412654 directly replace the 1460157 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (M40 thread, B16 size), locking mechanisms, and thermal operating ranges. The 1412654 is mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the higher IP rating on the 1412654?

A: The 1412654 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection versus IP65 on the 1460157. This represents enhanced dust and water sealing performance. Applications designed for IP65 operation remain fully compatible, as the higher rating is a superset of lower classifications.

Q: Why is the 1460157 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1412654 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1460157 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 1412654 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current regulatory requirements. The 1412654 additionally carries REACH Unaffected designation, confirming compliance with current chemical substance regulations.

Q: What are the dimensional differences?

A: Both parts share identical length (3.681" / 94.60mm) and height (2.992" / 76.00mm). The width differs slightly: 1460157 measures 1.772" (45.00mm) while 1412654 measures 1.732" (44.00mm). This 1mm difference does not affect mechanical compatibility or mounting interfaces.

Q: Is the 1412654 available in the same packaging as the 1460157?

A: The 1412654 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with your supplier based on procurement requirements.
