Phoenix Contact 1460280 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460280 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood designed for top entry applications with PG21 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460280 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the HEAVYCON® B series
• Size Designation: B6 size classification must be maintained
• Thread Size: PG21 thread specification is required for mechanical fit
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction ensures equivalent mechanical properties
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C operational envelope must be supported
• RoHS Compliance: Parts must meet RoHS requirements for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1412559 maintains compatibility across these core parameters while introducing enhanced ingress protection and modified entry configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412559 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1460280 based on maintained series designation, size classification, thread specification, and operating temperature compatibility. Both components utilize identical aluminum die cast housing material and meet RoHS compliance requirements.

The 1412559 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (862 pcs), whereas the 1460280 is obsolete. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP69K versus the original IP65 rating, offering superior dust and water resistance characteristics. The primary configuration difference involves entry style (bottom entry versus top entry) and connector type designation (hood-coupling versus hood), which must be evaluated against specific application mounting requirements and cable routing constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412559 directly replace the 1460280 in all applications?

A: Both components share the same HEAVYCON® B series, B6 size, PG21 thread, and operating temperature range. However, the entry style differs (bottom versus top), requiring verification that the application's physical mounting configuration accommodates the bottom entry design of the substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the IP66/IP69K rating on the substitute?

A: The 1412559 provides enhanced ingress protection compared to the original IP65 specification. IP66/IP69K denotes dust-tight and waterproof performance, suitable for high-pressure wash and submersion environments, whereas IP65 is limited to dust-tight and water-resistant conditions.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the coupling connector designation?

A: The 1412559 is classified as a hood-coupling connector designed for cable-to-cable applications, whereas the 1460280 is a standard hood connector. Application compatibility depends on whether the system requires cable-to-cable coupling functionality or panel-mount hood configuration.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same locking mechanism?

A: Both components feature locking clip mechanisms on the hood. The 1460280 has one locking clip on the hood body, while the 1412559 has one locking clip on the hood top, representing a minor mechanical variation that does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for sourcing?

A: The 1460280 is obsolete with 1037 pcs available as new original stock. The 1412559 is active production with 862 pcs in current inventory, providing reliable long-term availability for new designs and system replacements.
