Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1460261 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: B24
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (2) on Hood
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C

Thread Size Variations: Substitutes are grouped by thread size specification. The 1460261 uses M25 threading. Equivalent parts maintain this M25 specification or offer M32 alternatives where mechanical envelope permits.

Product Status Consideration: The 1460261 is obsolete. Active product status substitutes (1412769, 1412799) provide continued availability and support for replacement scenarios.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For M25 Thread Applications: Part number 1412799 provides direct substitution for the 1460261. Both components share identical thread size (M25), connector type, style, size designation, and locking mechanism. The 1412799 is active product status with ROHS3 compliance and enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K), making it suitable for replacement in existing M25-threaded installations.

For M32 Thread Applications: Part number 1412769 offers substitution where mechanical envelope and thread compatibility permit M32 specification. This part maintains all core connector characteristics (hood type, top entry style, B24 size, dual locking clips) while providing M32 threading and active product status with equivalent environmental protection ratings.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts (1412769, 1412799) meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and procurement standards. The 1460261, while RoHS compliant, carries obsolete product status and should be replaced with active alternatives for new designs and long-term supply assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1412799 directly replace 1460261 in existing installations? A: Yes. Both parts share M25 thread size, B24 connector size, top entry style, and dual locking clip configuration. The 1412799 is mechanically and functionally compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between 1412769 and 1412799? A: The primary difference is thread size. Part 1412769 uses M32 threading, while 1412799 uses M25 threading. Both maintain identical connector type, style, size, and locking mechanism. Selection depends on the threaded port specification of the mating equipment.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings while the 1460261 does not specify ingress protection? A: The substitute parts (1412769, 1412799) include enhanced environmental sealing specifications. These ratings indicate dust-tight and water-resistant performance. The 1460261 specification does not document ingress protection classification, but the substitute parts provide equivalent or superior environmental protection for the same connector series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes? A: The 1460261 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Substitute parts 1412769 and 1412799 are supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts? A: The 1460261 has 754 pieces in stock (obsolete status). Substitute 1412769 has 850 pieces available, and 1412799 has 738 pieces available (both active status). Active status parts provide better long-term availability assurance.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges identical across all three parts? A: Yes. All three parts (1460261, 1412769, 1412799) operate across the -40°C to 125°C temperature range, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.
