Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460170 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B16 size class
• Thread Interface: Must accommodate PG21 thread size
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Construction: Must be aluminum die-cast
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part 1412715 satisfies all critical substitution parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional salt water resistance features. Both parts maintain identical connector type, size, thread interface, series designation, temperature range, housing material, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412715 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460170. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, with matching thread interfaces, size designations, and operating temperature ranges.
