• Environmental Protection: Both are dust tight and waterproof
• Color: Both are green
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements
• Application: Both are designed for use with circular connectors in sensor and transducer applications

The primary difference between these parts is the material composition and product status. Part 1516551 is actively produced, whereas 1503030 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1516551 is the direct substitute for obsolete part 1503030. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for M12 circular connector applications with six connector openings. The substitute part is actively manufactured and stocked, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and meet the same environmental protection standards (dust tight, waterproof). The material change from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) in the substitute part represents a material upgrade that maintains functional equivalence while providing enhanced durability characteristics.
