Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 1503072 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory for mechanical compatibility with existing connector systems)
• Features: 4 Connector Opening, Dust Tight, Waterproof (functional requirements for environmental protection)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (application compatibility)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling specification)

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while offering active product status and material variations that preserve functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1453083 is the primary substitute for the 1503072. Both components maintain identical functional specifications including M12 shell size, four connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof construction, and RoHS compliance. The 1453083 offers active product status with material composition in polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) versus the original polyamide construction. This material substitution maintains environmental protection ratings and regulatory compliance while providing improved availability.

Phoenix Contact 1516593 serves as an alternative substitute with active product status and full RoHS compliance. This variant incorporates M12 connector-cable integration with 5-meter cable length and wire lead termination, representing a pre-assembled configuration suitable for applications requiring integrated cabling solutions.

Both substitute parts maintain the mandatory M12 shell size and environmental protection specifications required for circular connector applications. Selection between 1453083 and 1516593 depends on system integration requirements: the 1453083 provides a direct form-factor replacement, while the 1516593 offers integrated cabling for simplified deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1453083 directly replace the obsolete 1503072?

A: Yes. Both components share identical M12 shell size, four connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof construction, and RoHS compliance. The material difference (PBT versus polyamide) does not affect functional compatibility with circular connector systems.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1453083 and 1516593 substitutes?

A: The 1453083 is a standard actuator box matching the original form factor. The 1516593 includes integrated M12 connector-cable assembly with 5-meter cable length and wire lead termination, suitable for applications requiring pre-assembled cabling.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1453083 and 1516593 maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the regulatory and environmental specifications of the original 1503072.

Q: Does the color difference between 1503072 (green) and 1453083 (black) affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic specification. Both components maintain identical functional parameters for M12 circular connector applications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new system designs?

A: The 1453083 is recommended for applications requiring direct form-factor compatibility. The 1516593 is suitable when integrated cabling and pre-assembled M12 connectors align with system architecture requirements.
