Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460259 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: B24 size class
• Thread Interface: PG29 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains form, fit, and function alignment
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating; higher ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) are acceptable as they provide enhanced environmental protection

The substitute part 1412768 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1412768

The 1412768 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1460259. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, PG29 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412768 maintains HEAVYCON® B series compatibility and aluminum die cast housing construction.

The 1412768 provides enhanced environmental protection with IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings compared to the IP65 specification of the original part. This represents an upgrade in ingress protection capability without compromising mechanical or thermal compatibility. The 1412768 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Current inventory availability: 908 units of 1412768 are in stock as new original components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412768 directly replace the 1460259 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B24 size, PG29 thread, side entry hood configuration), locking mechanisms (dual locking clips), and thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412768 is mechanically and functionally compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings?

A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67/IP69K provide enhanced protection including dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof capabilities. The higher ratings on the 1412768 represent improved environmental sealing without affecting mechanical compatibility.

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

A: The 1460259 carries RoHS Compliant status. The 1412768 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS coding (8538.90.8180).

Q: What is the physical dimension difference between these parts?

A: The 1460259 measures 4.724" L x 1.693" W x 2.992" H (120.00mm x 43.00mm x 76.00mm). The 1412768 measures 4.724" L x 1.732" W x 2.992" H (120.00mm x 44.00mm x 76.00mm). The width dimension differs by 0.039" (1.00mm), which does not affect mechanical mounting or thread interface compatibility.

Q: Is the 1412768 available in the same packaging as the 1460259?

A: The 1412768 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with procurement requirements for your application.

Q: Why is the 1460259 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1460259 has been superseded by the 1412768, which provides enhanced environmental protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) while maintaining full mechanical and thermal compatibility. The 1412768 represents the current production equivalent within the HEAVYCON® B series.
