Phoenix Contact 1692873 Sensor Actuator Box - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1692873 is a sensor actuator box designed for M12 circular connector applications with 6 connector openings. This component provides dust-tight and waterproof protection for sensor and transducer installations. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new installations where this specific model is no longer available from the manufacturer.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692873 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Connector Opening Count: 6 openings (mandatory match)
• Environmental Protection: Dust tight and waterproof capability (mandatory match)
• Application Category: Sensor actuator box for circular connectors (mandatory match)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant status (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (mandatory match)

The substitute parts 1452767 and 1516865 meet all mandatory substitution criteria. Both are Phoenix Contact actuator boxes with M12 shell size, 6 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof features, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Material composition differs (PBT versus Polyamide in the original), but this variation remains within acceptable mechanical and environmental performance parameters for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1516865 is the primary substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1692873. Both parts share identical color (green) and maintain all critical functional parameters including M12 shell size, 6 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof protection, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The material change from Polyamide to PBT does not affect compatibility within the specified application scope. This part is currently active in production.

Part 1452767 serves as an alternative substitute when color differentiation is not a system requirement. This part maintains all functional and compliance parameters but features black coloring instead of green. Material composition is PBT, consistent with part 1516865. This part is also currently active in production.

Both substitute parts provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for M12 circular connector applications requiring sensor actuator box functionality with environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1516865 directly replace the obsolete 1692873?

A: Yes. Part 1516865 meets all substitution criteria: identical M12 shell size, 6 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof features, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The material change from Polyamide to PBT maintains mechanical and environmental performance within specification.

Q: What is the difference between substitute parts 1452767 and 1516865?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for M12 circular connector applications. The primary difference is color: 1516865 is green (matching the original 1692873), while 1452767 is black. Both use PBT material and maintain identical environmental protection and compliance ratings.

Q: Does the material change from Polyamide to PBT affect performance?

A: No. Both Polyamide and PBT are suitable materials for sensor actuator box applications requiring dust-tight and waterproof protection. The material change does not compromise the functional requirements or environmental specifications of this product category.

Q: Are both substitute parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both 1452767 and 1516865 are active production parts with current inventory availability, unlike the obsolete 1692873.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging.
