Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460283 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood - Coupling with Bottom Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B6 size class
• Thread Size: Must be M25 thread specification
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Must be Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412556 satisfies all critical substitution parameters. It maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 rating, which exceeds the original IP65 specification and includes additional salt water resistance capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412556 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460283. Selection of the substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The original part 1460283 is classified as obsolete. The substitute 1412556 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain equivalent ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. The substitute includes REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters including connector type, size designation, thread specification, operating temperature range, and housing material. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and salt water resistance capability of the substitute provide equivalent or superior performance in equivalent environmental conditions.

Availability: The substitute part 1412556 is available in higher inventory quantity (1050 Pcs) compared to the original part (714 Pcs), supporting procurement reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412556 directly replace 1460283 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains identical connector type, style, size, thread size, series designation, operating temperature range, and housing material. Physical dimensions are equivalent within engineering tolerance (length 60mm, width 43-44mm, height 75-78mm). The enhanced ingress protection rating provides equivalent or superior environmental sealing.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection rating between the original and substitute?

A: The original 1460283 provides IP65 rating (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412556 provides IP66/IP67 rating (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). IP66/IP67 represents a higher protection classification and includes salt water resistance capability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: The original 1460283 is supplied with unspecified packaging. The substitute 1412556 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on application requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The original 1460283 is RoHS Compliant. The substitute 1412556 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and equivalent HTSUS codes. The substitute includes REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the original 1460283 and substitute 1412556 operate across -40°C to 125°C temperature range.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences that would affect mechanical fit?

A: Dimensions are equivalent within engineering tolerance. Original 1460283: 60.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 78.00mm H. Substitute 1412556: 60.00mm L × 44.00mm W × 75.00mm H. Width and height variations are within acceptable mechanical tolerance for this connector class.
