Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460301 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Manufacturer & Series: Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON® B series maintains design compatibility and mechanical fit
• Connector Type & Style: Hood - Coupling configuration with bottom entry orientation
• Size Designation: B10 size class ensures proper mating interface
• Thread Size: M25 threading for mechanical coupling
• Housing Material: Aluminum die-cast construction for structural compatibility
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range capability
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1412579 meets all these core criteria while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) compared to the original IP65 rating. This represents a direct functional upgrade within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412579 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460301. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring drop-in compatibility for existing applications.

The 1412579 offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) provides superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical fit or electrical performance. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical operating temperature ranges.

For applications currently using the 1460301, transition to the 1412579 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility and improving environmental protection capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412579 directly replace the 1460301 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON® B series hoods with identical B10 size, M25 threading, bottom entry configuration, and mechanical locking mechanisms. The 1412579 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1460301 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412579 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating offers superior sealing in high-pressure wash and submersion environments.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the two parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist: the 1460301 measures 2.874" L x 1.693" W x 3.071" H, while the 1412579 measures 2.874" L x 1.732" W x 2.953" H. These differences do not affect mechanical fit or mating interface compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1460301 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460301 has been superseded by the 1412579 within the Phoenix Contact product line. The newer part offers enhanced environmental protection while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460301 and 1412579 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What is the availability status of the substitute part?

A: The 1412579 is classified as active product status with 640 pieces in current inventory, ensuring reliable supply chain availability.
