Phoenix Contact 1460158 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460158 is a hood-style side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M40 threaded applications with B16 size configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460158 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with side entry design
• Size Designation: B16 size class
• Thread Interface: M40 threaded connection
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1412650 maintains all these core parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional salt water resistance features. Both parts share identical mechanical mounting interfaces and electrical performance specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series framework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412650 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460158. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical interfaces within the HEAVYCON® B series. The 1412650 is currently in active production status with 873 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity.

The primary technical distinction is the enhanced ingress protection rating of the 1412650 (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the 1460158 (IP65). This upgrade provides superior dust and water sealing performance without compromising mechanical compatibility. The 1412650 additionally features salt water resistance, extending operational capability in corrosive environments.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature specifications (-40°C to 125°C), supporting direct substitution in existing applications. The dimensional variance (width: 45.00mm versus 44.00mm) is within manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mounting or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412650 directly replace the 1460158 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, style, size (B16), thread interface (M40), locking mechanism, operating temperature range, housing material, and series designation. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The 1412650 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) versus the 1460158 (IP65), and includes salt water resistance. Both maintain the same core mechanical specifications and HEAVYCON® B series compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1460158 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460158 has been superseded by the 1412650 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1412650 offers improved environmental protection while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences that affect installation?

A: The width dimension differs by 1.00mm (45.00mm versus 44.00mm). This variance is within standard manufacturing tolerance and does not impact mounting, threading, or electrical performance.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 1460158 and 1412650 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: Is the 1412650 available in the same packaging as the 1460158?

A: The 1412650 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for specific application requirements.
