Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1516111 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Must be Actuator Box
• Shell Size - Insert: Must be M8
• Connector Openings: Must be 8
• Environmental Protection: Must provide Dust Tight and Waterproof features
• Material Composition: Must be Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Regulatory Compliance: Must meet RoHS requirements

The substitute part 1197314 satisfies all these criteria, making it functionally equivalent for applications requiring the same connector configuration, environmental sealing, and material properties.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1197314 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1516111. Both components share identical mechanical specifications (M8 shell size, 8 connector openings), material composition (PBT), and environmental protection ratings (dust tight, waterproof).

The 1197314 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. It meets ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the 1516111, providing enhanced regulatory alignment with current standards.

The primary difference is cosmetic: the 1197314 features black housing compared to the green housing of the 1516111. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in circular connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1197314 directly replace the 1516111 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical M8 shell size, 8 connector openings, PBT material, and dust-tight/waterproof protection. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: Does the color difference between the 1516111 (green) and 1197314 (black) affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental protection capabilities.

Q: What is the significance of the 1197314 having active product status?

A: Active status indicates the 1197314 is currently manufactured and supported by Phoenix Contact, ensuring reliable procurement and technical support availability. The 1516111's obsolete status means it is no longer in production.

Q: Are there differences in regulatory compliance between these parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The 1197314 specifically meets ROHS3 compliance, which represents a more current regulatory standard. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1516111 is supplied with integrated 5-meter cable. The 1197314 is supplied in bulk packaging without integrated cable. Verify cable requirements for your application.
