Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460167 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Base - Box Mount with Side Entry configuration to maintain mechanical and electrical interface compatibility
• Size Classification: B16 size designation ensures pin count and contact spacing alignment
• Housing Material & Dimensions: Aluminum die-cast construction with matching physical envelope (117.00mm L × 57.00mm W × 84.00mm H) preserves mounting compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C operational window must be maintained or exceeded
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom configuration must be preserved for secure installation
• RoHS Compliance: Minimum RoHS compliance required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1082602 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection and thread configuration options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1082602 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460167. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, mounting interfaces, and thermal operating ranges. The 1082602 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Key differentiation factors:

• Ingress Protection Enhancement: The 1082602 provides IP66/IP67 rating compared to the 1460167's IP65, offering superior dust and water resistance suitable for more demanding environmental conditions
• Thread Configuration: The 1082602 utilizes M40 threading versus PG29, requiring verification of existing installation infrastructure compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: The 1082602 meets ROHS3 standards, representing current compliance requirements versus the earlier RoHS Compliant designation of the 1460167
• Production Status: Active production status of the 1082602 eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the 1460167

Selection of the 1082602 is appropriate for applications requiring equivalent mechanical and electrical performance with enhanced environmental protection and current regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1082602 directly replace the 1460167 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained. Thread size difference (M40 versus PG29) requires verification that existing cable gland or conduit entry hardware accommodates the M40 specification. Physical envelope dimensions are identical, preserving mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67 rating upgrade in the 1082602?

A: IP66 provides protection against high-pressure water jets; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability. The original 1460167 IP65 rating covers dust ingress and low-pressure water spray. The enhanced rating in 1082602 extends operational capability to more severe environmental exposure without compromising the original IP65 performance envelope.

Q: Does the "Dual" designation in the 1082602 style affect compatibility?

A: The "Dual" designation indicates dual M40 entry capability, providing configuration flexibility. This does not prevent single-entry operation and maintains full compatibility with single-cable installations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 1460167 is listed with unspecified packaging; the 1082602 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory management processes.

Q: What compliance certifications should be verified for new designs?

A: Both components carry ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS 8538.90.8180 tariff coding. The 1082602 includes REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory requirements for new component selection.
