Phoenix Contact 1460272 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460272 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for side entry applications with M40 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector 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 where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460272 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B24 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M40 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Must be aluminum die cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1412766 satisfies all critical substitution parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional salt water resistance features. Both parts maintain identical thread size (M40), size designation (B24), connector type (hood side entry), and operating temperature specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412766 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460272. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the core application requirements: M40 thread size, B24 size class, side entry hood configuration, and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

The 1412766 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and includes salt water resistance features, making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection levels. The substitute part carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and system replacements.

Both parts are manufactured from aluminum die cast housing and utilize identical locking mechanisms (dual locking clips on hood). The dimensional specifications remain functionally equivalent for installation purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412766 directly replace the 1460272 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical thread size (M40), size designation (B24), connector type (hood side entry), locking mechanism, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412766 provides enhanced ingress protection without requiring mechanical or electrical modifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 1412766 provides higher ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the 1460272 (IP65) and includes salt water resistance. The 1412766 is an active product with current manufacturing support, while the 1460272 is obsolete.

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

A: The 1460272 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 1412766 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are new original stock from Phoenix Contact.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1460272 and 1412766 operate across -40°C to 125°C, maintaining identical thermal specifications.

Q: What regulatory compliance standards apply to these connectors?

A: The 1460272 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412766 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing updated regulatory alignment for current applications.
