Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1424856 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1460337 based on the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the HEAVYCON® B series
• Connector Type & Style: Identical hood connector with top entry configuration
• Housing Size: Both use B48 housing designation
• Thread Interface: Both feature M50 thread size
• Mechanical Mounting: Identical locking clip (1) on base bottom
• Material Specification: Both utilize aluminum die cast housing
• Temperature Rating: Matching -40°C to 125°C operating range
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant

The 1424856 represents an enhanced version with improved ingress protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) and salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424856 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1460337. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical characteristics, and thermal specifications. The 1424856 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (992 pcs), whereas the 1460337 is obsolete.

The substitution is supported by:

• Full mechanical compatibility through identical B48 housing, M50 threading, and locking mechanisms
• Maintained operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
• Equivalent RoHS compliance status
• Enhanced environmental protection (IP66/IP67 versus IP65) with salt water resistance, providing superior performance in demanding applications

No performance degradation occurs with this substitution; the 1424856 represents a specification improvement suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424856 be used as a direct replacement for the 1460337?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (B48 housing, M50 thread, locking clip configuration), operating temperature range, and material specifications. The 1424856 provides enhanced ingress protection without requiring design modifications.

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

A: The 1460337 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1424856 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof) with additional salt water resistance. This represents an improvement in environmental sealing capability.
