Phoenix Contact 1460184 Hood Connector Side Entry M32 B16 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460184 is a heavy-duty hood connector with side entry configuration, M32 thread size, and B16 cavity arrangement. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and system continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical performance characteristics while meeting current availability requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460184 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector type: Hood (fixed)
• Entry style: Side Entry (fixed)
• Cavity size: B16 (fixed)
• Thread size: M32 (fixed)
• Lock mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Hood (fixed)
• Housing material: Aluminum, Die Cast (fixed)

Electrical & Environmental Compatibility:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (fixed)
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Series: HEAVYCON® B (fixed)

Acceptable Variations:

• Ingress protection rating: May exceed IP65 (higher ratings are backward compatible)
• Housing finish: May differ if not specified
• Housing color: May differ if not specified
• Product status: Active status preferred for procurement

The substitute part 1412703 maintains all fixed mechanical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412703 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460184 model. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical specifications, and thermal operating ranges within the HEAVYCON® B series. The 1412703 maintains RoHS compliance and provides enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 specification, making it suitable for applications requiring equal or greater environmental sealing. The active product status of 1412703 ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability. The minimal dimensional variance (1 mm width increase) does not affect mechanical mounting or functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412703 directly replace the 1460184 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical thread size (M32), cavity configuration (B16), entry style (side entry), and locking mechanism. The enhanced ingress protection of 1412703 provides equal or superior environmental sealing.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating on the 1412703 compared to IP65 on the 1460184?

A: IP66/IP67/IP69K provides higher protection levels against dust ingress and water jets. This represents an enhancement over IP65 and maintains backward compatibility with applications originally specified for IP65.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460184 packaging specification is not provided. The 1412703 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the 1 mm width dimension increase on the 1412703 affect mounting?

A: No. The dimensional variance (44.00 mm vs. 43.00 mm width) does not impact mechanical mounting interfaces or functional performance. Both connectors use identical M32 thread and locking clip configurations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460184 and 1412703 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: Why is the 1460184 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The 1412703 represents the active equivalent model within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring continued supply availability.
