Phoenix Contact 1516124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1516124 is a sensor/actuator box with integrated 10 m cable, designed for circular connector applications in industrial automation environments. This component features an M8 shell size with 8 connector openings and provides dust-tight, waterproof protection for sensor and transducer installations.

The 1516124 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for maintaining system compatibility in applications where original stock is depleted or long-term availability cannot be guaranteed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1516124 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M8 (mechanical compatibility with circular connector interfaces)
• Connector Openings: 8 (functional capacity for sensor/actuator connections)
• Material Composition: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) (environmental resistance and durability)
• Environmental Protection: Dust Tight, Waterproof (operational reliability in industrial conditions)
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (storage and handling compatibility)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1197319 meets all critical substitution criteria. While the 1197319 is supplied without integrated cable (versus the 10 m cable on the 1516124) and differs in color specification, these are secondary characteristics that do not affect core functional compatibility in circular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1197319 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1516124 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical M8 shell size, 8 connector opening configuration, and PBT material composition. This ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility within circular connector assemblies.

Environmental Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for industrial sensor and transducer applications without additional environmental qualification.

Product Status Advantage: The 1197319 carries active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. This addresses the obsolescence risk of the 1516124.

Inventory Availability: The 1197319 is currently in stock (903 pcs), providing immediate procurement capability for replacement applications.

Selection of the 1197319 as a substitute requires verification that the absence of integrated cable in the substitute part aligns with system installation requirements. Cable integration is a secondary feature that does not affect core actuator box functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1197319 directly replace the 1516124 in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications where the actuator box function is the primary requirement. Both parts feature identical M8 shell size, 8 connector openings, PBT construction, and environmental protection ratings. The 1197319 does not include integrated cable, so installations requiring pre-assembled cable must source this separately.

Q: What are the key compatibility parameters for this substitution?

A: Shell size (M8), connector opening count (8), material (PBT), dust-tight and waterproof protection, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. These parameters ensure functional and mechanical compatibility in circular connector applications.

Q: Does the color difference between the 1516124 (green) and 1197319 (black) affect technical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic specification that does not impact electrical, mechanical, or environmental performance characteristics.

Q: Is the 1197319 suitable for the same environmental conditions as the 1516124?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated dust-tight and waterproof with identical MSL 1 classification, confirming equivalent environmental protection for industrial sensor and transducer installations.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1516124 includes an integrated 10 m cable assembly, while the 1197319 is supplied as a connector box only. Both provide identical actuator box functionality for M8 circular connector interfaces.
