Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460246 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M40 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Must be aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating

The substitute part 1412751 satisfies all critical substitution parameters. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original part's IP65 rating, representing a functional upgrade while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412751 is the direct substitute for obsolete part 1460246. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical specifications, and thermal operating ranges. The substitute part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1412751 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress rating compared to the original IP65 specification. This upgrade is functionally compatible and does not introduce any mechanical or electrical incompatibilities. The substitute meets current RoHS3 compliance requirements and maintains REACH unaffected status, supporting modern regulatory frameworks.

Dimensional compatibility is confirmed across all critical measurements. The width variance of 1 mm (45 mm to 44 mm) falls within standard manufacturing tolerances for die cast aluminum housings and does not affect mounting or functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412751 be used as a direct replacement for 1460246?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size designation (B24), thread size (M40), series classification (HEAVYCON® B), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (aluminum die cast). Mechanical mounting and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The original 1460246 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412751 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating represents improved environmental sealing and does not reduce compatibility with existing installations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original 1460246 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The substitute 1412751 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and logistics processes.

Q: Does the 1 mm width difference affect installation?

A: No. The width variance from 45 mm to 44 mm is within standard manufacturing tolerances for die cast aluminum components and does not affect mounting interfaces, thread engagement, or functional performance.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The original 1460246 is classified as obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing. The substitute 1412751 is active product with current production and supply chain support, ensuring availability for future requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original 1460246 meets RoHS compliance. The substitute 1412751 meets the current ROHS3 standard, representing compliance with updated regulatory requirements.
