Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1424688 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 1508239 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 5-position circular connector plugs with male pins
• Shell Size: Both use M12-5 insert specification
• Termination Method: Both employ spring-cage termination
• Fastening: Both feature threaded fastening
• Orientation: Both are Orientation A
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 4A current and 60V voltage (1424688 extends to 48VAC/60VDC)
• Temperature Range: Both operate -40°C to 85°C
• Contact Material: Both use copper tin with gold plating
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature identical cable opening specifications (0.157" ~ 0.315" / 4.00mm ~ 8.00mm)

The primary distinction is product status: 1508239 is obsolete while 1424688 is active, with enhanced ingress protection (IP65/IP67 vs. IP65) and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424688 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1508239. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the SACC M12-5 circular connector family. Selection of 1424688 is supported by:

• Product Status: 1424688 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity

• Ingress Protection: 1424688 extends protection to IP67, providing enhanced waterproof capability while maintaining IP65 compatibility
• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts support identical current (4A) and temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C), with 1424688 offering expanded voltage specification (48VAC/60VDC vs. 60V)
• Mechanical Interchangeability: Identical M12-5 shell size, spring-cage termination, threaded fastening, and cable opening specifications ensure direct mechanical substitution

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1424688 directly replace 1508239 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications: 5-position M12-5 configuration, spring-cage termination, 4A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating range, and identical cable opening dimensions. The 1424688 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 1508239 to 1424688?

A: The 1508239 is classified as obsolete, while 1424688 is an active product. Transitioning to 1424688 ensures continued availability, supply chain reliability, and access to current manufacturing standards and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1508239 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while 1424688 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are identical in form, fit, and function.

Q: Does the enhanced IP67 rating of 1424688 affect compatibility?

A: No. IP67 (waterproof) is a superset of IP65 (water resistant). Systems designed for IP65 operation remain fully compatible with IP67-rated connectors.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and EAR99 export classification. The 1424688 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, representing current regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete 1508239.

Q: What are the electrical differences between 60V and 48VAC/60VDC ratings?

A: The 1508239 is rated for 60V DC operation. The 1424688 extends this to support both 48V AC and 60V DC, providing broader application flexibility while maintaining full backward compatibility with 60V DC systems.
