Phoenix Contact 1460221 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460221 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood for side entry applications with PG21 thread size and B24 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as Obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460221 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Size: Must be PG21 for proper mounting interface
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast for structural equivalence
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The substitute part 1412776 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While it provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance, these represent functional improvements rather than deviations from the core specification. Dimensional variations (width and height) remain within acceptable tolerance for hood connector applications and do not affect interface compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1412776

The 1412776 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460221. Both parts share identical core specifications: B24 size, PG21 thread interface, HEAVYCON® B series designation, and -40°C to 125°C operating range. The 1412776 maintains RoHS compliance and aluminum die-cast construction.

The 1412776 is classified as Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance feature provide superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical or electrical compatibility. These enhancements are backward compatible with applications originally specified for IP65 protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412776 directly replace the 1460221 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, size (B24), thread size (PG21), operating temperature range, and housing material. The 1412776 provides equivalent or superior performance across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the higher IP rating on the 1412776?

A: The 1412776 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection compared to the 1460221's IP65. This represents enhanced dust and water ingress protection. IP66 adds protection against high-pressure water jets; IP67 adds temporary immersion capability; IP69K adds protection against high-temperature, high-pressure steam cleaning. These are functional improvements suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460221 measures 4.724" L × 1.693" W × 2.559" H; the 1412776 measures 4.724" L × 1.732" W × 2.362" H. Length remains identical; width and height variations are within acceptable tolerance for hood connector mounting interfaces and do not affect compatibility.

Q: Does the 1412776 maintain the same locking mechanism?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical locking clip configuration (2 clips on base bottom), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing mounting hardware.

Q: Is the 1412776 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1412776 maintains RoHS Compliant status, matching the 1460221 specification.

Q: Why is the 1460221 obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The 1412776 represents the current-generation equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series, offering enhanced environmental protection and active supply availability.
