Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692886 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Connector Opening Configuration: 6 openings (mandatory match)
• Environmental Protection: Dust tight and waterproof capability (mandatory match)
• Circular Connector Compatibility: For use with circular connectors (mandatory match)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS compliant status (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (mandatory match)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct equivalents based on preserved electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1692886 to 1516878 Substitution

Part 1516878 is the primary recommended substitute. It maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: M12 shell size, 6 connector openings, 5-position configuration, dust-tight and waterproof features, and PLUSCON series designation. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. The material difference (polyamide to PBT) does not affect functional compatibility. Part 1516878 is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

1692886 to 1452770 Substitution

Part 1452770 is an alternative substitute that meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. It shares identical M12 shell size, 6 connector opening configuration, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance. The primary differences are color (black versus green) and material composition (PBT versus polyamide). Part 1452770 is active in production and available in bulk packaging. Selection of this part should account for color-coding requirements in system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1452770 and 1516878 be used interchangeably with 1692886?

A: Both parts meet the mandatory substitution criteria: M12 shell size, 6 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof features, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Functional compatibility is maintained. Color and material differences should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the material change from polyamide to PBT?

A: Both polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) are engineering polymers suitable for sensor actuator box applications. The material change does not affect the specified electrical or mechanical performance parameters, environmental protection ratings, or compliance certifications.

Q: Why is 1692886 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the part is no longer manufactured. Active substitutes 1452770 and 1516878 provide equivalent functionality and are recommended for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Does color difference affect substitution suitability?

A: Color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. However, color-coding may be significant in system design for identification or safety purposes. Verify color requirements against application specifications before selection.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to substitution?

A: The main part is packaged as "-" (unspecified), while substitutes are available in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility. Bulk packaging may offer cost or logistics advantages depending on procurement requirements.
