Phoenix Contact 1460262 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460262 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component features a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460262 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood type with Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 size class
• Lock Mechanism: Must feature Locking Clip (2) on Hood
• Housing Material & Construction: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection ratings and active product status. Thread size variation (M25 vs. M32) is permitted where mechanical mounting interfaces allow accommodation of the different thread specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement with identical thread specification (M25):

Phoenix Contact 1412793 provides the most direct substitution path for the obsolete 1460262. Both parts maintain M25 thread size, identical B24 size class, and equivalent mechanical mounting interfaces. The 1412793 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the unspecified rating of the original part, with active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. RoHS compliance is maintained across both parts.

For applications permitting thread size variation (M32):

Phoenix Contact 1412764 serves as an alternative where mechanical mounting can accommodate M32 threading. This part maintains all core connector characteristics while providing IP66/IP67 ingress protection. The slightly larger thread diameter requires verification of mounting hole compatibility in the host assembly.

Both substitute parts are currently active products with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original 1460262 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1412793 be used as a direct replacement for 1460262?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical thread size (M25), size class (B24), connector type (Hood), entry style (Side Entry), and locking mechanism. The primary difference is enhanced ingress protection rating on the 1412793 and its active product status.

Q: What is the difference between 1412764 and 1412793?

A: The primary distinction is thread size: 1412764 uses M32 threading while 1412793 uses M25. Both maintain B24 size class and side entry configuration. The 1412764 provides IP66/IP67 protection; the 1412793 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection. Thread size selection depends on mounting interface requirements in your application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original 1460262 was supplied in unspecified packaging. Both substitute parts (1412764 and 1412793) are available in bulk packaging, which may require adjustment to procurement and inventory management procedures.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain temperature operating range compatibility?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal performance equivalence.

Q: Is RoHS compliance maintained with these substitutes?

A: Yes. Both 1412764 and 1412793 maintain RoHS Compliant status, matching the regulatory requirement of the original 1460262.

Q: Why does 1412793 have a different height dimension than 1460262?

A: The 1412793 has a reduced height (60mm vs. 76mm) while maintaining the same length and width. This dimensional change is associated with the enhanced ingress protection design. Verify mounting clearance in your application before selection.
