Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1516014 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M8 (mandatory match)
• Connector Openings: 4 (mandatory match)
• Accessory Type: Actuator Box (mandatory match)
• Environmental Protection: Dust Tight, Waterproof (mandatory match)
• Material Composition: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) (mandatory match)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status (required for equivalent functionality)

The substitute part 1197207 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution in M8 circular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1197207 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1516014. Both components share identical mechanical specifications, environmental protection ratings, and material composition. The 1197207 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new installations and system replacements.

The primary distinction is product status: the 1516014 is obsolete while the 1197207 remains active. Both components meet RoHS compliance requirements and maintain the same moisture sensitivity classification. Selection of the 1197207 is appropriate for applications requiring M8 circular connector integration with 4-position actuator box functionality and dust-tight, waterproof environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1197207 directly replace the 1516014 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical shell size (M8), connector opening count (4), environmental protection features (dust tight, waterproof), and material composition (PBT). Direct mechanical and functional compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 1516014 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 1197207 is active production, ensuring supply chain availability and continued manufacturer support for technical documentation and certifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 1516014 carries ROHS3 designation while the 1197207 carries standard RoHS designation. Both meet regulatory requirements for sensor and transducer applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk versus other configurations) does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement and inventory requirements rather than component performance.

Q: What applications are these actuator boxes suitable for?

A: These components are designed for M8 circular connector sensor and transducer installations requiring environmental protection in dust-tight and waterproof conditions. They are applicable across industrial automation, process control, and field instrumentation systems.
