Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1508242 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be receptacle with female sockets, 5-position configuration
• Shell Size: M12-5 insert size for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: SACC series maintains design consistency
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 4A current capacity and voltage rating of 60V or higher
• Ingress Protection: IP65 or higher rating for equivalent environmental sealing
• Termination Method: Spring-cage or push-in spring termination acceptable for equivalent functionality
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line) with threaded fastening
• Material & Compliance: Polyamide (PA66) construction, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The substitute part 1424689 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced product status and improved ingress protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424689 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1508242 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current rating (4A) and equivalent voltage specifications. The substitute supports 48VAC and 60VDC, providing broader voltage range coverage while maintaining the original 60V requirement.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical M12-5 shell size and 5-position configuration ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing connector interfaces.

Environmental Performance: The substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP65/IP67 versus IP65), providing superior environmental sealing without compromising the original specification.

Product Lifecycle Status: The substitute part 1424689 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete main part.

Termination Difference: The substitute employs push-in spring termination versus spring-cage termination. Both termination methods are functionally equivalent for 5-position M12 circular connectors within the SACC series, with push-in spring offering simplified assembly characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424689 directly replace the 1508242 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical form factor (M12-5, 5-position), electrical ratings (4A, 60V minimum), and environmental sealing (IP65 minimum). The termination method difference (push-in spring versus spring-cage) does not affect functional compatibility for standard M12 circular connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between spring-cage and push-in spring termination?

A: Spring-cage termination uses a cage mechanism to secure wire insertion, while push-in spring termination relies on spring force to retain the wire. Both methods provide equivalent electrical contact and mechanical retention for 5-position M12 connectors. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and operator preference.

Q: Does the enhanced IP67 rating of the 1424689 affect compatibility?

A: No. IP67 is a superset of IP65, meaning the substitute meets or exceeds the original environmental sealing specification. This enhancement provides additional protection without introducing incompatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 1508242 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the substitute 1424689 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1424689 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical material specifications (Polyamide PA66, Copper Tin contacts).
