Phoenix Contact 1460240 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460240 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with PG29 thread size and B24 form factor. This component 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 ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460240 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B24 form factor required for mechanical compatibility
• Thread Size: PG29 thread specification for mounting interface
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains design consistency
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range must be maintained or exceeded
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction for structural equivalence
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum; higher ratings (IP66/IP67) are acceptable upgrades

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412753 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412753 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1460240. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical connector type, style, size (B24), and thread size (PG29). Dimensional variance in width (1mm difference) is within manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional fit.

Environmental Performance: The 1412753 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65), offering superior dust and water resistance while maintaining the identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

Regulatory Compliance: The 1412753 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS codes.

Product Lifecycle: The transition from obsolete (1460240) to active status (1412753) ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412753 directly replace 1460240 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are HEAVYCON® B series hood connectors with identical B24 size and PG29 thread specifications. Mechanical mounting and electrical interface compatibility are maintained. The 1412753 provides enhanced IP66/IP67 protection as an upgrade.

Q: What is the significance of the IP rating difference (IP65 vs. IP66/IP67)?

A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67 adds waterproof capability and higher pressure jet resistance. The 1412753 upgrade does not compromise compatibility and extends environmental protection capability.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Width differs by 1mm (45mm vs. 44mm). Length and height are identical. This 1mm variance is within standard manufacturing tolerance for die cast aluminum housings and does not affect mounting or performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1412753 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99 classified. These certifications meet current regulatory requirements for heavy duty connector applications.

Q: Is the 1412753 available in the same packaging as the 1460240?

A: The 1412753 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.
