Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412647 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460304 based on complete parameter alignment across all critical mechanical and electrical specifications. Both components share identical connector type, size, thread specification, and operating temperature range within the HEAVYCON® B series.

The 1412647 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and utilize identical aluminum die-cast housing construction with equivalent locking mechanisms.

The 1412647 provides enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features, representing a specification improvement over the original 1460304 without introducing any mechanical or electrical incompatibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412647 directly replace the 1460304 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, size (B16), thread specification (PG21), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1412647 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1460304 is classified as obsolete. The 1412647 is an active product with current manufacturing support, ensuring availability for maintenance and new applications.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460304 measures 3.701" L x 1.693" W x 3.228" H (94.00mm x 43.00mm x 82.00mm), while the 1412647 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 3.110" H (94.60mm x 44.00mm x 79.00mm). These variations remain within typical mechanical tolerance ranges for connector hood assemblies and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the 1412647 offer any performance advantages?

A: The 1412647 includes IP66/IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and salt water resistance features. These represent enhanced environmental protection specifications compared to the 1460304, with no reduction in core functionality.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460304 and 1412647 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1460304 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1412647 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and logistics but does not impact component performance or compatibility.
