Phoenix Contact 1460340 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460340 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG14.6 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across -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 where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460340 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be Hood connector with Top Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Must be B6 size class
• Thread Interface: Must use PG14.6 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: Must belong to HEAVYCON® B series
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 rating
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1412576 satisfies all critical substitution parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and additional salt water resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412576 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460340. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (B6 size, PG14.6 thread, top entry configuration) and thermal operating range. The 1412576 is currently in active production status with full inventory availability, whereas the 1460340 is obsolete.

The 1412576 provides enhanced ingress protection at IP66/IP67 compared to the IP65 rating of the original part, representing an improvement in environmental sealing capability. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status (upgraded to ROHS3 in the substitute) and identical moisture sensitivity levels.

For applications requiring the original 1460340 specification, the 1412576 offers direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with superior environmental protection characteristics and assured long-term supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412576 directly replace the 1460340 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, size designation (B6), thread interface (PG14.6), locking mechanism, and operating temperature range. The 1412576 provides equivalent or superior performance in all critical parameters.

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

A: The 1460340 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412576 provides IP66/IP67 protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The higher rating in the substitute part represents enhanced environmental sealing without compromising mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 1460340 measures 60.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 56.00mm H. The 1412576 measures 60.00mm L × 44.00mm W × 52.00mm H. These differences do not affect mechanical interface compatibility or mounting requirements.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The 1460340 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (998 pcs). The 1412576 is in active production with current inventory of 812 pcs, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1460340 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412576 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing compliance with the current regulatory standard.

Q: Does the 1412576 include salt water resistance?

A: Yes. The 1412576 includes salt water resistant features, providing additional environmental protection compared to the original 1460340 specification.
