Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1453012 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1680571. Both components meet identical environmental protection requirements (dust tight, waterproof) and regulatory standards (RoHS compliant, MSL 1). The 1453012 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new installations and system replacements.

Material and color differences between the two parts do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with M12 circular connector systems. The substitution is valid for all applications where the original 1680571 was specified, provided that color coding or material-specific requirements are not critical to system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1453012 directly replace the 1680571 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical M12 shell size, 6-connector opening configuration, and environmental protection ratings. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: Does the material change from Polyamide to PBT affect performance?

A: Both materials provide equivalent dust-tight and waterproof protection. Material selection does not impact the functional performance of the actuator box in standard M12 circular connector applications.

Q: Why is the 1680571 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1680571 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1453012 represents the active production alternative with identical functional specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant with identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent regulatory status for industrial applications.

Q: Does the color difference impact compatibility?

A: Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on system design requirements if color coding is specified.
