Phoenix Contact 1680911 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1680911 is a sensor/actuator box without LED, designed for use with M12 circular connectors in industrial sensing and actuation applications. This component features an 8-connector opening configuration with dust-tight and waterproof protection, constructed from polyamide material.

The 1680911 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement, repair, and new installations where this legacy component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1680911 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match for connector interface)
• Accessory Type: Actuator Box (functional category requirement)
• Features: Dust Tight, Waterproof (environmental protection specification)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (regulatory compliance requirement)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (application context)

The substitute part 1452495 maintains compatibility across these core parameters while offering an active product status alternative to the obsolete 1680911.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1452495 serves as an active-status substitute for the obsolete 1680911. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and share the M12 shell size specification required for circular connector integration. Both components provide dust-tight and waterproof environmental protection suitable for industrial sensor and actuator applications.

The primary difference between these parts is the connector opening count: the 1680911 provides 8 openings while the 1452495 provides 6 openings. Material composition differs (polyamide versus PBT), and color differs (green versus black). These differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements and mechanical constraints of the installation.

Selection of the 1452495 as a substitute is appropriate when the 6-connector opening configuration and PBT material composition are compatible with the intended application and when the active product status is required for ongoing procurement and support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 1452495 a valid substitute for the 1680911?

A: Both parts share the same M12 shell size specification, actuator box accessory type, dust-tight and waterproof features, and RoHS compliance status. These parameters define the core compatibility requirements for M12 circular connector applications.

Q: Does the difference in connector opening count affect substitution?

A: The 1680911 provides 8 connector openings while the 1452495 provides 6 openings. This difference must be evaluated against the specific application requirements. If the installation requires exactly 8 openings, the 1452495 may not be suitable.

Q: Are there material compatibility concerns between polyamide and PBT?

A: Both polyamide and PBT are engineering thermoplastics suitable for industrial sensor/actuator box applications with dust-tight and waterproof protection. Material selection depends on specific environmental conditions, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress requirements of the installation.

Q: Why is the 1680911 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1680911 carries an obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 1452495 is an active product offering continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Does packaging type affect the substitution decision?

A: The 1680911 is listed with no specified packaging, while the 1452495 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging type does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement quantity and handling requirements.
