Phoenix Contact 1460160 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460160 is a hood-style side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M32 thread 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 substitutes essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460160 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood-style side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 size class
• Thread Interface: Must accommodate M32 thread size
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility

The substitute part 1412718 satisfies all these criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status, making it a direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412718 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460160. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (M32 thread, B16 size, side entry hood configuration) and thermal operating range. The 1412718 provides superior ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing. The substitute part carries active product status with current manufacturing support and meets ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 1412718 is available in bulk packaging with 773 units in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412718 directly replace the 1460160 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (M32 thread, B16 size, side entry hood style) and operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412718 provides enhanced ingress protection, making it functionally superior for the same application space.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1460160 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412718 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings offer greater protection in high-pressure wash and submersion environments.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460160 measures 3.681" L × 1.693" W × 2.559" H (94.60mm × 43.00mm × 65.00mm). The 1412718 measures 3.681" L × 1.732" W × 2.362" H (94.60mm × 44.00mm × 60.00mm). Length remains identical; width and height differ slightly. Verify mounting clearances in your specific application.

Q: Why is the 1460160 obsolete?

A: The 1460160 has been superseded by the 1412718, which offers improved ingress protection and maintains full mechanical compatibility. Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer model.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1412718 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and share identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Is the 1412718 available for immediate procurement?

A: Yes. The 1412718 is in active production status with 773 units currently in stock, available in bulk packaging.
