Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Phoenix Contact 1662942 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Both main and substitute parts must function as actuator boxes for circular connector systems
• Environmental Protection: Dust-tight and waterproof ratings must be maintained
• RoHS Compliance: All alternatives must meet RoHS requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) ensures compatibility with storage and handling conditions
• Material Compatibility: Polyamide or equivalent engineering polymers acceptable for circular connector applications
• Connector Opening Configuration: Functional equivalence in slot and position capacity

The Phoenix Contact 1175449 qualifies as a substitute based on matching environmental protection, RoHS compliance, MSL rating, and circular connector application compatibility, despite differences in connector opening count and material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1175449 serves as an active production alternative to the obsolete 1662942. Both components maintain identical environmental protection ratings and RoHS compliance status, ensuring regulatory and operational consistency. The 1175449 is currently in active production status, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring sensor actuator box functionality in circular connector systems.

Material differences between polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate do not affect the core functional requirements of dust-tight and waterproof protection. The increased connector opening capacity of the 1175449 (8 openings versus 6) provides expanded configuration flexibility for new implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1175449 directly replace the 1662942 in existing installations?

A: Both parts maintain identical environmental protection (dust-tight, waterproof), RoHS compliance, and MSL ratings. Compatibility depends on the specific connector opening and position requirements of your application. The 1175449 provides 8 connector openings compared to the 1662942's 6-opening configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the material difference between polyamide and PBT?

A: Both polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate are engineering polymers suitable for circular connector actuator box applications. The material change does not affect the specified environmental protection or compliance characteristics.

Q: Why is the 1662942 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The Phoenix Contact 1175449 represents the current production equivalent for sensor actuator box applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1662942 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 1175449 is available in bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Does the color difference affect functionality?

A: Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. The 1662942 is green while the 1175449 is black.
