Phoenix Contact 1460339 Heavy Duty Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460339 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with M20 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features a B6 size configuration with a locking clip mechanism positioned on the base bottom.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460339 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Hood
• Style: Top entry
• Size designation: B6
• Thread size: M20
• Series family: HEAVYCON® B
• Lock mechanism: Locking clip on base bottom
• Housing material: Aluminum, die cast
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C

The substitute part 1412574 maintains all core compatibility parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K versus IP65) and additional environmental resistance features. Both parts share identical thread sizing, connector classification, and thermal operating specifications, establishing direct substitution viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412574 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460339. Selection of the 1412574 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1412574 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the 1460339 is obsolete. This ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Posture: The 1412574 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory alignment. The original part meets RoHS requirements but lacks the updated ROHS3 designation. Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS coding.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The 1412574 provides IP66/IP69K ingress protection compared to the IP65 rating of the 1460339. This represents an upgrade in dust and water resistance specifications, with the addition of salt water resistance features. Applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing benefit from this specification improvement.

Mechanical and Thermal Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical thread sizing (M20), connector classification (hood, top entry, B6), locking mechanisms, and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C). Physical dimensions show minor variations (height: 56mm versus 52mm; width: 43mm versus 44mm) within acceptable tolerance for mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412574 directly replace the 1460339 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: M20 thread size, B6 size designation, top entry hood configuration, and locking clip mechanism on the base bottom. The 1412574 provides equivalent or enhanced performance across all critical parameters.

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

A: The 1412574 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K) compared to the 1460339 (IP65), includes salt water resistance features, and maintains active product status with current manufacturing support. The 1460339 is obsolete.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460339 measures 60.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 56.00mm H, while the 1412574 measures 60.00mm L × 44.00mm W × 52.00mm H. Length remains identical; width and height variations are within typical mounting tolerance ranges.

Q: Do both connectors operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1460339 and 1412574 operate from -40°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1460339 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1412574 is available in bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460339 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412574 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory certification standards.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 1412574 should be specified for new designs due to its active product status, enhanced environmental protection rating, and current compliance certifications. The 1460339 is obsolete and should not be used in new applications.
