Phoenix Contact 1460253 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460253 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with M20 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating and accommodates B10 size connectors with locking clips positioned on the base bottom.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460253 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Hood)
• Application style (Side Entry)
• Size designation (B10)
• Thread size (M20)
• Housing material (Aluminum, Die Cast)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Variation: The substitute part 1412616 maintains identical core specifications while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional salt water resistance. These represent functional improvements rather than deviations from the original specification, as the substitute meets or exceeds all environmental protection requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412616 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460253. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, maintaining compatibility across all critical interface parameters including connector size, thread engagement, and mounting configuration.

The 1412616 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the 1460253 is obsolete. Selection of the 1412616 ensures access to ongoing supply chain availability and manufacturer technical support. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) of the substitute provides superior environmental sealing compared to the original IP65 specification, with no mechanical or electrical trade-offs.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature specifications, supporting direct substitution in existing designs without circuit or mechanical redesign requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412616 directly replace the 1460253 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1412616 maintains identical mechanical mounting interfaces, thread sizes, connector size designations, and electrical operating parameters. The enhanced ingress protection rating represents a functional improvement with no compatibility concerns.

Q: What is the significance of the IP rating difference between the two parts?

A: The original 1460253 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412616 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). This represents an upgrade in environmental sealing capability. Applications requiring only IP65 protection will function identically with the substitute.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460253 measures 2.874" L x 1.693" W x 2.205" H (73.00mm x 43.00mm x 56.00mm). The 1412616 measures 2.874" L x 1.732" W x 2.244" H (73.00mm x 44.00mm x 57.00mm). These differences are within typical manufacturing tolerances and do not affect mounting or interface compatibility.

Q: Why should I select the 1412616 over the 1460253?

A: The 1460253 is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing support. The 1412616 is an active product with current inventory availability (1186 pieces in stock) and manufacturer support. Both parts are RoHS compliant and operate identically across the -40°C to 125°C temperature range.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: The 1460253 packaging information is not specified in the technical data. The 1412616 is supplied in bulk packaging. Consult with the supplier regarding packaging requirements for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts support salt water environments?

A: The 1412616 includes salt water resistance as a documented feature. The 1460253 technical data does not specify salt water resistance. For applications in corrosive marine or salt spray environments, the 1412616 is the recommended selection.
