Phoenix Contact 1683714 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1683714 is a sensor actuator box designed for circular connector applications in industrial automation and control systems. This component features an 8-slot configuration with 4-position connectivity, housed in a green polyamide enclosure with dust-tight and waterproof protection. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in legacy installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1683714 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Both the main part and substitute must function as actuator boxes for circular connector systems
• Environmental Protection: Dust-tight and waterproof ratings must be maintained
• RoHS Compliance: All substitutes must meet RoHS requirements for regulatory compliance
• Material Compatibility: Housing material must provide equivalent mechanical and environmental protection
• Connector Interface: Compatibility with circular connector applications

The substitute part 1175448 maintains functional equivalence through identical environmental protection ratings, RoHS compliance, and circular connector compatibility. Differences in connector opening configuration (4 openings vs. 8 slots) and housing material (PBT vs. polyamide) represent design variations within the actuator box category that do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1175448 serves as an active-status substitute for the obsolete 1683714. Both components maintain identical environmental protection specifications (dust-tight, waterproof) and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory and operational continuity. The 1175448 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability.

Selection of the 1175448 as a substitute requires verification that the reduced connector opening count (4 openings versus 8 slots) aligns with the specific application requirements. The material transition from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) provides equivalent mechanical and environmental protection characteristics suitable for circular connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1175448 directly replace the 1683714 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement depends on connector opening requirements. The 1175448 provides 4 connector openings compared to the 1683714's 8-slot configuration. Applications requiring the full 8-slot capacity require alternative solutions. Both maintain identical environmental protection and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the material difference between these actuator boxes?

A: The 1683714 uses polyamide housing, while the 1175448 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials provide equivalent dust-tight and waterproof protection for circular connector applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1683714 and 1175448 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why is the 1683714 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1683714 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1175448 represents the active-production alternative within the actuator box product line.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk versus other configurations) does not affect functional compatibility. The 1175448 is supplied in bulk packaging and performs identically to the 1683714 in circular connector applications.
