Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460186 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood type with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Thread Size: Must be PG29 for proper mounting interface
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature Locking Clip (2) on Hood for equivalent fastening security
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast for equivalent structural and thermal properties
• Series Compatibility: Must be HEAVYCON® B series for dimensional and functional alignment

The substitute part 1412768 meets all these critical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412768 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460186. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, size designation, thread size, locking mechanism, operating temperature range, and housing material.

The 1412768 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Additionally, this substitute provides specified ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features, delivering enhanced environmental protection compared to the main part specification.

From a compliance perspective, the 1412768 meets ROHS3 requirements and maintains EAR99 export classification, consistent with the original part. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412768 be used as a direct replacement for 1460186?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type (Hood), style (Side Entry), size (B24), thread size (PG29), lock mechanism (Locking Clip on Hood), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast). The 1412768 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and environmental specifications. The 1460186 is obsolete; the 1412768 is active. The 1412768 includes specified ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance, while the 1460186 does not list these environmental ratings. Both meet equivalent compliance standards.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between 1460186 and 1412768?

A: Dimensions are nearly identical. The 1460186 measures 4.724" L x 1.693" W x 2.992" H (120.00mm x 43.00mm x 76.00mm). The 1412768 measures 4.724" L x 1.732" W x 2.992" H (120.00mm x 44.00mm x 76.00mm). The width difference is 0.039" (1.00mm), which does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1412768 is available in Bulk packaging, with 908 pieces in current stock.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460186 is RoHS Compliant; the 1412768 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in harsh environmental conditions?

A: The 1412768 is rated for IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments. The 1460186 does not specify environmental protection ratings.
