Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1412581 is the direct substitute for obsolete part 1460294. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, maintaining compatibility with existing B10 PG16 interface requirements.

The substitute part 1412581 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Additionally, 1412581 provides enhanced ingress protection rated IP66/IP67/IP69K, exceeding the environmental sealing capabilities of the original part while maintaining all core mechanical parameters.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The dimensional variance (width 43mm vs 44mm, height 78mm vs 75mm) remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for B10 form factor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412581 directly replace 1460294 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are HEAVYCON® B series connectors with identical B10 size, PG16 thread, bottom entry style, and locking clip configuration. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

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

A: The main difference is product status and ingress protection. Part 1460294 is obsolete, while 1412581 is active. Part 1412581 includes IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating, providing enhanced environmental sealing.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that could affect installation?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist: width differs by 1mm (43mm vs 44mm) and height differs by 3mm (78mm vs 75mm). These variations remain within B10 form factor specifications and do not affect mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Part 1460294 is RoHS Compliant. Part 1412581 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts maintain compliance with applicable environmental and safety requirements.

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

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.
