Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692860 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Accessory Type: Actuator Box
• Shell Size - Insert: M12
• Connector Openings: 4
• Features: Dust Tight, Waterproof
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors
• RoHS Compliance: Required

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Material composition (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Color designation
• Series alignment (PLUSCON preferred)
• Product status (Active status preferred for ongoing availability)

Two substitute parts meet the primary substitution criteria while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the original 1692860 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1516852 is the primary substitute for the 1692860. This part maintains identical functional specifications including M12 shell size, 4 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof features, and PLUSCON series designation. The material change from Polyamide to Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. The part holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. ROHS3 compliance exceeds the original RoHS requirement, providing enhanced regulatory alignment.

Phoenix Contact 1452754 serves as a secondary substitute when color specification is not a constraint. This part meets all primary substitution criteria with identical M12 shell size, 4 connector openings, and dust-tight/waterproof features. The material composition is Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), consistent with part 1516852. The black color designation differs from the original green specification. This part maintains Active product status and full RoHS compliance. Selection of this part is appropriate when color is not a functional requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1516852 directly replace the obsolete 1692860?
