Phoenix Contact 1692857 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1692857 is a sensor/actuator box designed for use with circular connectors in M12 shell size applications. This component features an 8-connector opening configuration with dust-tight and waterproof protection, constructed from polyamide material. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with M12 circular connector interfaces while meeting the same environmental protection and electrical compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1692857 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Accessory Type: Actuator Box
• Shell Size - Insert: M12
• Environmental Protection: Dust Tight, Waterproof
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Identified Substitutes:

• Phoenix Contact 1452741 (4-connector opening, polybutylene terephthalate, active status)
• Phoenix Contact 1516849 (4-connector opening, polybutylene terephthalate, active status)

Both substitute parts maintain M12 shell size compatibility, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance. The primary difference is connector opening count (4 versus 8) and material composition (PBT versus polyamide). These substitutes are suitable where the reduced connector opening configuration meets application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring 8-connector opening configuration: The 1692857 is obsolete with no direct equivalent maintaining the same connector opening count. Applications must either source remaining inventory or redesign to accommodate 4-connector opening alternatives.

For applications compatible with 4-connector opening configuration: Both 1452741 and 1516849 are active production parts from Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both maintain M12 shell size compatibility, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance.

Color consideration: Part 1516849 maintains green coloring consistent with the original 1692857, while 1452741 is available in black. Material composition differs (PBT versus polyamide), but both materials provide equivalent environmental protection ratings and MSL classification.

Compliance and certification: All parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial sensor/actuator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1452741 or 1516849 directly replace the 1692857 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement depends on application requirements. Both substitutes maintain M12 shell size, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance. However, the reduced connector opening count (4 versus 8) requires verification that the application does not require all 8 openings for connector placement.

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

A: The primary difference is color: 1516849 is green (matching the original 1692857), while 1452741 is black. Both use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material, have identical M12 shell size, and provide equivalent environmental protection and compliance ratings.

Q: Why is the original 1692857 obsolete?

A: Product status is provided as obsolete in the manufacturer's current catalog. Substitutes 1452741 and 1516849 are active production parts, ensuring availability for new designs and system maintenance.

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

A: Both polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) provide dust-tight and waterproof protection with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. Material selection should be based on specific application environmental conditions and mechanical requirements beyond the parameters provided.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Both 1452741 and 1516849 are available in bulk packaging. Specific quantity requirements should be confirmed with the supplier.
