Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1548574 can be substituted with part number 1175449 based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Both are actuator boxes
• Connector Configuration: Both feature 8 connector openings
• Environmental Protection: Both provide dust-tight and waterproof protection
• Material Composition: Both utilize Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Application: Both designed for use with circular connectors in sensor and transducer applications

The primary difference is color (green vs. black) and product status (obsolete vs. active). The substitute part 1175449 is currently in active production status, making it the appropriate selection for new installations and ongoing component replacement needs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently utilizing Phoenix Contact 1548574, the part number 1175449 serves as the direct functional equivalent. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, environmental protection ratings, material composition, and regulatory compliance certifications.

The transition from the obsolete 1548574 to the active 1175449 is supported by:

• Matching RoHS compliance status
• Identical MSL rating ensuring equivalent moisture handling characteristics
• Identical material specification (PBT) providing equivalent mechanical and thermal properties
• Identical environmental protection features (dust-tight, waterproof)
• Identical connector opening configuration (8 openings)

The color difference (green to black) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect functional performance or compatibility with circular connector systems.
