Phoenix Contact 1460348 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460348 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for side 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 a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as 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 1460348 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series designation
• Size Designation: B6 form factor
• Thread Interface: PG14.6 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact

The substitute part 1412572 meets all these criteria while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K versus IP65) and improved environmental resistance through salt water resistant features. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, temperature range, housing material, and manufacturer origin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412572 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460348. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, style, size, thread interface, temperature range, and housing material.

The 1412572 offers functional advantages through enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistant features, making it suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection levels. The substitute maintains full compatibility with existing mechanical interfaces and mounting configurations.

The 1412572 carries active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the 1460348 is obsolete. The substitute meets ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for current procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412572 directly replace the 1460348 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type (hood), style (side entry), size (B6), thread size (PG14.6), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and housing material (aluminum die cast). Mechanical mounting and interface compatibility are maintained.

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

A: The 1460348 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412572 provides IP66/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). The enhanced rating in the substitute part does not compromise compatibility and provides additional environmental protection capability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1460348 is listed with unspecified packaging. The 1412572 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is the 1460348 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1460348 is no longer in active production. The 1412572 represents the current active equivalent in the HEAVYCON® B series product line.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The 1412572 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH unaffected, providing current regulatory alignment.
