Phoenix Contact 1460241 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460241 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component functions as a protective housing assembly for industrial connector systems, featuring aluminum die-cast construction with powder coating. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460241 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Series: HEAVYCON® B (maintains design compatibility)
• Connector Type: Hood (functional equivalence)
• Style: Top Entry (installation method match)
• Size: B24 (mechanical interface requirement)
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom (assembly compatibility)
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast (structural and thermal properties)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (environmental specification)

Secondary Consideration:

• Thread Size: M25 is the primary specification; M32 variants represent a different thread interface and are listed as alternatives only where thread size flexibility exists in the application

Two substitute parts meet the primary compatibility criteria with the 1460241:

1. Phoenix Contact 1412778 - Maintains identical thread size (M25), series, connector type, style, size, and lock location. Represents the direct functional equivalent with enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and active product status.

2. Phoenix Contact 1412754 - Maintains series, connector type, style, size, and lock location but features M32 thread size. Provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status. Thread size difference requires mechanical interface verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1412778 is the primary substitute for the 1460241. This part maintains identical thread size (M25) and all critical mechanical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67). The transition from obsolete to active status ensures continued supply chain availability and manufacturing support. RoHS compliance is maintained.

Phoenix Contact 1412754 serves as an alternative where environmental protection requirements exceed the original specification. The M32 thread size represents a mechanical interface change that requires verification against the installation environment. This part provides the highest ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and active product status. Selection of this part is contingent upon confirming that M32 threading is compatible with the mounting interface.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring design continuity and compatibility with existing system architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412778 be used as a direct replacement for the 1460241?

A: Yes. The 1412778 maintains identical thread size (M25), connector type (Hood), style (Top Entry), size (B24), and lock location specifications. Both parts are aluminum die-cast with identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412778 is active product status, whereas the 1460241 is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the 1412778 and 1412754?

A: The primary difference is thread size: 1412778 uses M25 (matching the original 1460241), while 1412754 uses M32. The 1412754 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP66/IP67) and includes salt water resistance features. Thread size selection depends on the mechanical interface requirements of the installation.

Q: Why does the 1460241 show as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1412778 and 1412754 are active alternatives that provide equivalent or enhanced functionality within the HEAVYCON® B series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460241 packaging is not specified. The 1412778 and 1412754 are supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 1460241 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412778 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412754 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more recent compliance standard.

Q: What are the dimensional differences?

A: The 1460241 measures 4.724" L x 1.693" W x 2.992" H. The 1412778 measures 4.724" L x 1.732" W x 2.362" H. The 1412754 measures 4.724" L x 1.732" W x 2.992" H. Length remains constant; width and height vary slightly between models.
