Phoenix Contact 1516072 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1516072 is a sensor actuator box designed for circular connector applications with 10 connector openings in a 3-position configuration. This component is classified as an accessory type actuator box manufactured from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material with M8 shell size compatibility. The product has reached obsolete status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1516072 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Must be actuator box
• Material Composition: Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
• Shell Size - Insert: M8 compatibility
• Environmental Protection: Dust tight and waterproof rating
• Connector Interface: Circular connector compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1197325 shares the core functional category, material specification, shell size, and environmental protection characteristics. However, this substitute exhibits a reduced connector opening count (8 openings versus 10 openings in the original part), which represents a key functional difference that must be evaluated during component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1197325 is an active product offering from the same manufacturer with equivalent material composition, shell size, and environmental protection ratings. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and comply with RoHS standards, with the substitute meeting the more recent ROHS3 specification.

The primary consideration for substitution is the reduction in connector opening count from 10 to 8 openings. This difference directly impacts the number of circular connectors that can be accommodated within the actuator box assembly. Selection of the 1197325 substitute is appropriate only when system design requirements can accommodate the reduced connector capacity.

Both parts are manufactured from PBT material with M8 shell size compatibility and maintain dust-tight, waterproof environmental protection suitable for industrial sensor and actuator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1197325 directly replace the 1516072 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited by the connector opening count difference. The 1197325 provides 8 openings compared to the original 10 openings. Substitution is valid only when the application requires 8 or fewer connector positions.

Q: Are the material and environmental protection specifications identical?

A: Both parts are manufactured from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and feature dust-tight, waterproof protection. Environmental performance characteristics are equivalent between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1516072 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The 1197325 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability. For new designs or long-term procurement, the active substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts comply with RoHS standards. The 1197325 meets the more recent ROHS3 specification, while the 1516072 meets the earlier RoHS Compliant designation. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1516072 is supplied with dash packaging, while the 1197325 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.
