Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460204 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with top entry design
• Size Classification: B24 size designation
• Thread Interface: M32 thread size for mechanical mounting
• Locking Mechanism: Locking clip (1) positioned on base bottom
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die-cast construction
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -40°C to 125°C, RoHS compliance, MSL 1
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1460204 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and salt water resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412761 serves as the direct active production equivalent for the obsolete 1460204. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical specifications, and environmental operating parameters within the HEAVYCON® B series. The 1412761 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

The substitute part 1412761 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring superior moisture and corrosive environment performance. The dimensional variance of 1mm in width (44mm versus 43mm) remains within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and reliability equivalence for replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412761 directly replace 1460204 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size designation (B24), thread size (M32), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature specifications. The 1mm dimensional variance in width is within standard manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mechanical fit or function.

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

A: The 1412761 is the active production successor with enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features. The 1460204 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the dimensional difference?

A: No. The width difference of 1mm (43mm to 44mm) is within standard manufacturing tolerances for die-cast aluminum housings and does not impact mechanical mounting, threading, or locking clip functionality.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1412761 should be specified for new designs as it is in active production status and provides enhanced environmental protection capabilities.
