Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the SACC-M12MS-4SC M CX is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 4-position circular connector configuration
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-4 shell sizing ensures mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility
• Termination Technology: Spring-cage termination must be preserved to maintain electrical contact reliability
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating (4A) and voltage rating (250VAC/DC) establish the electrical performance envelope
• Ingress Protection: IP65/IP67 rating ensures environmental sealing requirements are met
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C range defines thermal operational limits
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance status ensures regulatory alignment

The substitute part 1424657 satisfies all critical substitution parameters within this envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 1408331 and substitute part 1424657 are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain active product status. Both components achieve ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment.

The substitute part 1424657 is available in significantly higher inventory (1925 pieces) compared to the main part (816 pieces), providing enhanced procurement flexibility. Both parts operate within identical electrical and thermal parameters, with matching ingress protection ratings suitable for industrial applications requiring IP65/IP67 environmental sealing.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding connector orientation, mounting configuration, and form factor compatibility within the target assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether part 1424657 can substitute for 1408331?

A: Substitution compatibility is established through matching critical parameters: 4-position configuration, M12-4 shell size, spring-cage termination, 4A current rating, 250VAC/DC voltage rating, IP65/IP67 ingress protection, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in connector type between these parts?

A: The main part is designated as a Position Circular Connector, while the substitute is specified as a Plug with Male Pins. Both maintain the same M12-4 shell sizing and 4-position configuration, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the spring-cage termination in both parts?

A: Spring-cage termination provides reliable electrical contact through spring-loaded contact mechanisms, eliminating the need for soldering or crimping. This termination method is identical in both the main part and substitute, ensuring consistent electrical performance.

Q: Does inventory availability affect substitution decisions?

A: Inventory levels do not alter substitution compatibility. Part 1424657 maintains higher stock availability (1925 pieces) compared to 1408331 (816 pieces), which may influence procurement strategy but does not change electrical or mechanical equivalence.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both 1408331 and 1424657 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component use in industrial applications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The main part 1408331 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute part 1424657 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may require consideration in procurement and inventory management workflows.
