Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692899 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert (M12): All substitute parts must maintain M12 compatibility to ensure mechanical fit with existing circular connector systems
• Connector Openings (8): The enclosure must provide 8 connector opening positions
• Dust Tight, Waterproof Features: Environmental protection ratings must be maintained
• Circular Connector Compatibility: All parts are designated for use with circular connector applications
• RoHS Compliance: All substitutes must maintain RoHS compliance status

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in position configuration and material composition:

1692899 → 1452783: Active alternative with identical connector opening count (8) and environmental protection features. Material differs from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Color changes from green to black. Position configuration not specified in substitute data.

1692899 → 1516881: Active alternative within the same PLUSCON series. Maintains 8 connector openings, green color, and polybutylene terephthalate material. Position configuration increases to 8-position, representing a functional expansion.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct functional replacement of 1692899:

Part 1516881 provides the closest functional alignment, maintaining PLUSCON series designation, green color, and 8 connector opening configuration. The upgrade to 8-position capability offers expanded connector accommodation while preserving all environmental protection and compliance requirements. This part is active and maintains full RoHS compliance.

For alternative material composition:

Part 1452783 offers an active substitute with polybutylene terephthalate material in place of polyamide, with identical connector opening count and environmental protection features. The color change to black and unspecified series designation represent design variations. This part maintains full RoHS compliance and active product status.

Both substitutes maintain M12 shell size compatibility, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance status, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for sensor and transducer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1452783 directly replace 1692899 in existing installations?

A: Part 1452783 maintains the critical parameters of 8 connector openings, M12 shell size, dust-tight and waterproof features, and RoHS compliance. The material change from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate and color change from green to black represent design variations that do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility with M12 circular connectors.

Q: What is the functional difference between 1516881 and 1692899?

A: Part 1516881 increases the position configuration from 4-position to 8-position, allowing accommodation of additional connector positions within the same 8-opening enclosure. All other parameters, including M12 shell size, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and RoHS compliance, remain equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1452783 and 1516881 maintain RoHS compliance status, consistent with the original 1692899 specification.

Q: Does material composition affect mechanical fit?

A: Both polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate materials are used in M12 circular connector enclosures. The material change between 1692899 and its substitutes does not affect mechanical compatibility with M12 connector systems.

Q: Why is 1692899 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued manufacturing of this part number. Active alternatives 1452783 and 1516881 provide equivalent functionality for new designs and replacement applications.
