Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460177 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with top entry design
• Size Designation: B16 size class
• Thread Interface: M32 thread size for mounting compatibility
• Locking Mechanism: Dual locking clips on hood
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C capability
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Electrical & Mechanical Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412708 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is the enhanced ingress protection rating and active product status of the substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412708 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460177. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, housing construction, and thermal operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® B series. The 1412708 maintains full RoHS compliance and MSL rating equivalence.

The substitute part 1412708 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The enhanced ingress protection specification (IP66/IP67/IP69K) of the substitute provides additional environmental sealing capability without compromising mechanical compatibility or thermal performance.

For applications requiring the original 1460177 specification, the 1412708 provides equivalent mechanical and electrical performance with the added benefit of improved environmental protection ratings and active product lifecycle support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412708 directly replace 1460177 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical thread size (M32), size designation (B16), connector type (hood top entry), locking mechanism (dual clips), housing material (aluminum die-cast), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Mechanical mounting and electrical interface compatibility are maintained.

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

A: The 1412708 includes enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and maintains active product status, whereas the 1460177 is obsolete. All core mechanical and thermal specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460177 and 1412708 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the improved ingress protection of 1412708 affect physical dimensions?

A: Dimensional differences are minimal. The 1460177 measures 3.681" L x 1.693" W x 2.992" H, while the 1412708 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 2.992" H. The width variance of 0.039" (approximately 1mm) is within typical manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mounting compatibility.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460177 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412708 is available in bulk packaging format.

Q: Is the 1412708 suitable for salt water or corrosive environments?

A: The 1412708 includes salt water resistant features and IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions. The original 1460177 specification does not document these enhanced environmental capabilities.
