Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1460285 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: B16
• Thread Size: M25
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1460285 maintains identical specifications across all core mechanical and electrical parameters. Variations in ingress protection rating, housing finish, and dimensional tolerances represent functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412729 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460285 model. Both components share identical core specifications across connector type, size, thread configuration, and operating parameters. The 1412729 is currently in active production status with enhanced availability.

The 1412729 provides additional ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features not specified in the original 1460285. These enhancements represent functional improvements compatible with the original application requirements. The 1412729 maintains full compliance with current RoHS3 standards and is available in bulk packaging with confirmed inventory.

For applications requiring the exact original specification without enhanced environmental protection features, the 1460285 remains the reference standard. However, for new implementations or system replacements, the 1412729 is the recommended active production equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412729 directly replace 1460285 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for connector type, size, thread configuration, locking mechanism, and operating temperature range. The 1412729 includes enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance, which are compatible with applications originally designed for the 1460285.

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

A: The 1412729 includes specified ingress protection ratings and salt water resistance features. The 1460285 does not list these environmental protection specifications. Both maintain identical core connector specifications and operating parameters.

Q: Is the 1412729 available in the same packaging as the 1460285?

A: The 1412729 is supplied in bulk packaging. The original 1460285 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these models?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460285 measures 3.681" L x 1.693" W x 2.559" H (94.60mm x 43.00mm x 65.00mm). The 1412729 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 2.362" H (94.60mm x 44.00mm x 60.00mm). These variations fall within normal manufacturing tolerances for die-cast aluminum housings and do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 1412729?

A: The 1412729 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. It carries HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.

Q: Why is the 1460285 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460285 has been superseded by the 1412729 in Phoenix Contact's active product line. The 1412729 provides equivalent functionality with enhanced environmental protection specifications and current compliance certifications.
