Phoenix Contact 1692365 Sensor/Actuator Box - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1692365 is a sensor/actuator box designed for use with circular connectors in M12 shell size applications. This component functions as an accessory housing for sensor and transducer systems, featuring 8 connector openings with dust-tight and waterproof protection. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692365 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert (M12): All substitute parts must maintain M12 shell size compatibility to ensure mechanical fit with existing circular connector systems.
• Environmental Protection (Dust Tight, Waterproof): Substitute parts must provide equivalent environmental sealing to maintain system integrity.
• Accessory Type (Actuator Box): All alternatives must function as sensor/actuator boxes for circular connector applications.
• RoHS Compliance: All substitutes must maintain RoHS compliance status for regulatory consistency.
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1): All alternatives must support unlimited moisture exposure conditions.

The two identified substitute parts (1452822 and 1516807) meet these core substitution criteria. However, variations exist in connector opening count, material composition, and product status that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (1452822 and 1516807) are classified as active products from Phoenix Contact, providing supply continuity advantages over the obsolete 1692365. Both alternatives maintain full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental performance parity.

The primary technical distinction between substitutes is connector opening count: the main part provides 8 openings, while both alternatives provide 6 openings. Applications requiring 8 connector positions cannot be directly substituted without system redesign. For applications utilizing 6 or fewer connector positions, both alternatives are functionally equivalent.

Part 1516807 offers color matching to the original (green) and belongs to the PLUSCON series, providing design continuity where color coding or series standardization is specified. Part 1452822 provides an alternative in black with different material composition (PBT versus polyamide), suitable for applications where material properties or color differentiation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1692365 be directly replaced with 1452822 or 1516807?

A: Direct substitution is possible only if your application uses 6 or fewer connector openings. The main part provides 8 openings; both substitutes provide 6 openings. If all 8 positions are actively used, system redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both maintain M12 shell size, dust-tight/waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance. Part 1516807 matches the original green color and belongs to the PLUSCON series. Part 1452822 is black and uses PBT material instead of polyamide. Both are active products with current inventory availability.

Q: Are there material compatibility concerns when switching from polyamide to PBT?

A: Both materials provide dust-tight and waterproof protection at MSL 1 ratings. Material selection between polyamide and PBT depends on specific environmental exposure, chemical compatibility, and mechanical stress requirements of your application.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. Both active substitutes provide equivalent functionality for standard M12 circular connector applications with 6 connector positions.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging type (bulk versus other formats) does not affect functional substitution. It impacts procurement, handling, and inventory management but not electrical or mechanical compatibility.
