Phoenix Contact 1460215 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460215 is a hood-style side entry heavy duty connector in the HEAVYCON® B series, designed for M40 threaded applications with B24 size configuration. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460215 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood configuration with side entry design
• Size Designation: B24 size class
• Thread Interface: M40 threaded connection
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 or higher rating

The substitute part 1412758 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interfaces while providing enhanced environmental protection specifications. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, operating temperature range, and housing material. The substitute offers upgraded ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental durability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412758 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460215. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (M40 thread, B24 size, side entry hood configuration) and electrical operating parameters (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412758 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1412758 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating, with additional salt water resistance. This upgrade is backward compatible for applications originally specified with IP65, as higher ingress protection ratings do not compromise existing system functionality. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and export classification (EAR99).

For new designs or system replacements, the 1412758 is the recommended selection due to its active product status and enhanced environmental protection capabilities within the same mechanical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412758 directly replace the 1460215 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (M40 thread, B24 size, side entry hood style) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412758 provides equal or superior performance with enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65).

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1460215 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412758 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The 1412758 also includes salt water resistance, suitable for marine and corrosive environments.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors share the same length (120mm) and height (76mm). The width differs slightly: 1460215 is 43mm, while 1412758 is 44mm. This 1mm difference does not affect mechanical mounting or interface compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1460215 obsolete?

A: The 1460215 has been superseded by the 1412758, which offers enhanced environmental protection and salt water resistance while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical interfaces.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460215 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412758 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current RoHS standard revision.

Q: What packaging is available for the 1412758?

A: The 1412758 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production and replacement applications.
