Phoenix Contact 1460255 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460255 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG21 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460255 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 size class
• Thread Size: Must accommodate PG21 thread specification
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 125°C operation
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series

The substitute part 1412771 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412771 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460255. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for connector type, size, thread configuration, and operating temperature range. The 1412771 maintains full compatibility with existing installations while providing the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 1412771 is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced Ingress Protection: Rated IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65, providing superior protection in high-pressure wash and submersion environments
• Improved Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status meets current regulatory requirements
• Salt Water Resistance: Additional feature for corrosive environment applications
• Current Inventory: 801 units in stock versus 1040 units of the obsolete part

For applications requiring only IP65 protection, the 1412771 remains fully backward compatible. For applications in harsh environments with high-pressure wash requirements or salt water exposure, the enhanced ingress protection of the 1412771 provides additional operational margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412771 directly replace the 1460255 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, size (B24), thread size (PG21), locking mechanism, operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (aluminum die cast). The 1412771 is mechanically and electrically compatible with all applications designed for the 1460255.

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

A: The 1460255 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412771 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof, and high-pressure wash resistant). The 1412771 exceeds the protection level of the original part.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the two parts?

A: The width dimension differs slightly: 1460255 is 1.693" (43.00mm) while 1412771 is 1.732" (44.00mm). Length and height dimensions remain identical at 4.724" (120.00mm) and 2.992" (76.00mm) respectively. This minor variation does not affect mounting compatibility.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460255 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412771 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production environments and high-volume applications.

Q: Does the 1412771 meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 1412771 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The obsolete 1460255 was RoHS Compliant under earlier standards.

Q: Is the 1412771 suitable for salt water environments?

A: Yes. The 1412771 includes salt water resistance as a feature, making it suitable for marine and coastal applications where the original 1460255 may have had limitations.
