Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460308 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood - Coupling with Bottom Entry configuration
• Size Designation: B16 form factor required for mechanical compatibility
• Thread Size: M25 thread specification for proper coupling interface
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Hood Top for functional equivalence
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast construction
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C range
• Electrical Compliance: RoHS Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1412645 meets all these core parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection specifications and salt water resistance features. Both parts maintain identical connector type, size, thread specification, and locking mechanism, ensuring direct functional substitution in cable-to-cable applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

These additional features do not compromise compatibility and may provide operational advantages in demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412645 directly replace the 1460308 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type (Hood - Coupling), style (Bottom Entry), size (B16), thread size (M25), and locking mechanism (Locking Clip on Hood Top). The mechanical and functional interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in cable-to-cable applications.

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

A: The 1412645 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 1460308. The substitute part includes enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and salt water resistance features. Core connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within normal manufacturing tolerances. The 1460308 measures 3.701" L x 1.693" W x 3.228" H (94.00mm x 43.00mm x 82.00mm), while the 1412645 measures 3.681" L x 1.732" W x 3.110" H (94.60mm x 44.00mm x 79.00mm). These variations do not affect mechanical compatibility or functional performance.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1460308 and 1412645 operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in industrial applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1460308 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1412645 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects logistics and inventory management but does not impact connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1460308 and 1412645 are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electrical and electronic equipment.
