Phoenix Contact 1460306 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460306 is a heavy duty connector hood with coupling bottom entry configuration, designed for B16 size connectors with PG21 thread entry. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -40°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460306 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood - Coupling with Bottom Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16 size requirement is mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Thread Entry: PG21 thread size ensures proper cable gland integration
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction maintains structural and thermal properties
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range must be maintained or exceeded
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series maintains design consistency
• RoHS Status: Compliance required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1412647 meets all these criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and additional environmental resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412647 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with part number 1460306. Both components share identical core specifications: B16 size, PG21 thread entry, bottom entry configuration, aluminum die cast housing, and -40°C to 125°C operating range.

The 1412647 is recommended for new designs and replacement applications because it maintains active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The enhanced ingress protection rating (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) provides superior environmental sealing without compromising mechanical or electrical compatibility. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

For applications where the specific IP65 rating is a design constraint, the 1460306 specifications remain valid; however, sourcing may be limited due to obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412647 directly replace the 1460306 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (B16 size, PG21 thread), connector type (hood coupling), entry style (bottom), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The 1412647 provides equal or superior performance in all specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The 1460306 provides IP65 (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412647 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). IP66/IP67/IP69K represents enhanced protection suitable for high-pressure wash and submersion environments. Both ratings exceed typical industrial connector requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460306 is listed with unspecified packaging. The 1412647 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Why is the 1460306 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Phoenix Contact's product lifecycle management. The 1412647 supersedes this part with improved specifications and active manufacturing status.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460306 and 1412647 carry RoHS compliance certification and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist: 1460306 measures 94.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 82.00mm H; 1412647 measures 94.60mm L × 44.00mm W × 79.00mm H. These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility in standard mounting configurations.
