Phoenix Contact 1460242 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460242 is a heavy duty connector hood for side entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component features a B24 size configuration with locking clips positioned on the base bottom, designed for industrial applications requiring robust mechanical protection and environmental sealing.

The 1460242 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued availability for maintenance and replacement scenarios, and support long-term supply chain planning for legacy installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1460242 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: B24
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Thread Size: M25 (exact match required for mechanical fit)

Identified Substitutes:

1. Phoenix Contact 1412773 - Direct functional equivalent with enhanced environmental protection. Maintains identical connector type, style, size, lock configuration, and thread size. Upgrades include active product status, enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K), and salt water resistance. Compact height dimension (60.00mm vs. 76.00mm).

2. Phoenix Contact 1412750 - Compatible alternative with different thread size (M32). Maintains identical connector type, style, size, and lock configuration. Provides enhanced environmental protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance. Requires mechanical verification for M32 thread compatibility in existing installations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred):

Phoenix Contact 1412773 is the primary substitute for the 1460242. Both parts share identical thread size (M25), connector configuration, and operating temperature specifications. The 1412773 is an active product with current manufacturing support, ROHS3 compliance, and enhanced environmental protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K). The reduced height dimension (60.00mm vs. 76.00mm) requires mechanical clearance verification in the installation envelope.

For Alternative Applications:

Phoenix Contact 1412750 provides equivalent connector functionality with enhanced environmental sealing. The M32 thread size represents a mechanical difference that requires installation verification. This part is suitable for applications where the larger thread size is compatible with the mounting interface and where enhanced ingress protection is beneficial.

Both substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance and support the extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C required for industrial heavy duty connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412773 directly replace the 1460242 in existing installations?

A: The 1412773 maintains identical thread size (M25), connector type, style, size, and locking mechanism. The primary consideration is the reduced height dimension (60.00mm vs. 76.00mm). Mechanical clearance in the installation envelope must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the M32 thread size on the 1412750?

A: The 1412750 uses M32 threading instead of M25. This represents a larger thread diameter and pitch. Substitution requires confirmation that the mounting interface accommodates M32 threading. This part is not a direct mechanical replacement without adapter or interface modification.

Q: Why are the substitute parts rated IP66/IP67/IP69K when the original 1460242 has no ingress protection specification?

A: The 1460242 ingress protection rating was not provided in the original specification. The substitute parts include enhanced environmental sealing capabilities. These ratings indicate dust-tight and water-resistant performance suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 1460242 packaging is not specified. The 1412773 and 1412750 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on procurement requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The 1460242 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412773 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The 1412750 is RoHS Compliant. All parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.
