Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the Phoenix Contact 1460338 are identified based on strict alignment with core electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria are:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Series: HEAVYCON® B
• Connector Type: Hood
• Size: B6
• Thread Size: PG14.6
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Housing Material: Aluminum, Die Cast
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in entry style and ingress protection ratings. The 1412576 maintains identical top entry configuration with enhanced environmental protection. The 1412572 provides an alternative with side entry configuration and higher ingress protection specification, suitable for applications where entry orientation can be modified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently utilizing the Phoenix Contact 1460338, the 1412576 provides the most direct functional replacement. Both components share identical entry style (top entry) and maintain all core mechanical and electrical specifications. The 1412576 is active in production and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity.

The 1412572 represents an alternative where system design permits modification of entry orientation from top to side entry. This component offers enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP69K specification compared to the unspecified rating of the original part. Selection of the 1412572 requires confirmation that side entry configuration is compatible with the mechanical installation envelope and cable routing requirements of the target application.

Both substitute parts are manufactured from identical materials and operate within the same temperature parameters as the original component, ensuring thermal and mechanical compatibility in equivalent operating environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412576 be used as a direct replacement for the 1460338?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (hood), style (top entry), size (B6), thread size (PG14.6), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature range. The 1412576 is an active production part with ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original part is no longer available.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1412576 and 1412572 substitutes?

A: The 1412576 maintains top entry configuration identical to the original 1460338. The 1412572 uses side entry configuration and provides higher ingress protection (IP66/IP69K versus IP66/IP67). Entry style selection depends on mechanical installation requirements and cable routing constraints of the specific application.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Both substitute parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, locking mechanisms, and thread specifications. Compatibility is determined by entry style orientation. Top entry applications require the 1412576. Applications where side entry can be accommodated may use the 1412572. No electrical or thermal compatibility issues exist between the original and substitute components.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both the 1412576 and 1412572 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original 1460338. Both components carry ECCN EAR99 classification and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.

Q: Why is the original 1460338 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1460338 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The active production alternatives (1412576 and 1412572) provide equivalent or enhanced functionality with current manufacturing support and regulatory compliance documentation.
