Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1503027 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Number of Connector Openings: 4 (mandatory match)
• Environmental Protection: Dust Tight, Waterproof (mandatory match)
• Color: Green (mandatory match)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory match)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (mandatory match)

The substitute part 1516548 meets all critical parameters. Material composition differs (polybutylene terephthalate versus polyamide), but both materials satisfy the dust-tight and waterproof requirements for M12 connector applications. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1516548 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1503027. Both parts are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for M12 circular connector applications. The 1516548 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

The material difference between polyamide (1503027) and polybutylene terephthalate (1516548) does not affect functional compatibility in dust-tight, waterproof M12 connector enclosure applications. Both materials provide equivalent environmental protection and mechanical durability for this accessory type.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1516548 directly replace the 1503027 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for shell size (M12), connector opening count (4), environmental protection (dust tight, waterproof), color (green), and RoHS compliance. The material composition difference does not affect functional performance in this application.

Q: What is the significance of the material change from polyamide to PBT?

A: Both polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate provide the required dust-tight and waterproof protection for M12 connector enclosures. The material substitution reflects current manufacturing practices while maintaining equivalent environmental sealing and mechanical properties.

Q: Why is the 1503027 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1503027 has been superseded by the 1516548 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1516548 maintains all functional specifications while offering active product status and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when ordering the 1516548?

A: The 1516548 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 1503027 packaging specification was not defined. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1503027 and 1516548 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.9860) classifications.
