Phoenix Contact 1692349 Sensor Actuator Box - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1692349 is a sensor actuator box designed for M12 circular connector applications with four connector openings. This component belongs to the PLUSCON series and provides dust-tight, waterproof protection for sensor and transducer installations. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with M12 circular connectors while preserving the four-slot configuration and environmental protection ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692349 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Four connector openings for M12 circular connectors
• Environmental Protection: Dust-tight and waterproof design
• Shell Size: M12 insert compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating (unlimited moisture exposure tolerance)

The identified substitute parts (1452806 and 1516784) maintain functional equivalence through identical connector opening count, M12 shell size, and environmental protection features. Both substitutes are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and retain the same regulatory compliance framework. Differences in material composition (polyamide versus polybutylene terephthalate) and color do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for M12 circular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (1452806 and 1516784) are active products from Phoenix Contact with current manufacturing status, addressing the obsolescence of the original 1692349. Selection between substitutes should be based on the following criteria:

Part 1516784 maintains identical color specification (green) and RoHS compliance classification to the original part, making it the preferred direct replacement for applications where visual identification or specific compliance documentation is required.

Part 1452806 offers an alternative with ROHS3 compliance certification and black color finish. This part is suitable for applications where material composition (PBT versus polyamide) provides enhanced chemical or thermal resistance properties within the M12 connector ecosystem.

Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements: four M12 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof construction, MSL 1 rating, and REACH compliance. The choice between them depends on specific application requirements regarding color coding, material properties, or compliance documentation preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1452806 directly replace 1692349 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector opening count (4), shell size (M12), environmental protection ratings (dust-tight, waterproof), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The material difference (PBT versus polyamide) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility with M12 circular connectors.

Q: What is the difference between 1516784 and 1452806?

A: The primary differences are material composition (1516784 uses PBT, 1452806 uses PBT), color (1516784 is green, 1452806 is black), and RoHS classification (1516784 is RoHS Compliant, 1452806 is ROHS3 Compliant). Both maintain identical M12 connector compatibility and four-slot configuration.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original 1692349 is packaged individually, while both substitutes (1452806 and 1516784) are supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. The ROHS3 designation for 1452806 represents a more recent compliance certification level while maintaining backward compatibility with RoHS requirements.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Part 1516784 is recommended for new designs requiring color consistency with the original specification. Part 1452806 is suitable when material properties or ROHS3 certification specifically benefit the application requirements.
