Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1692909 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Connector Opening Configuration: 8 openings with 5-position capability (mandatory match)
• Features: Dust tight and waterproof sealing (mandatory match)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory match)

The substitute parts identified maintain these core functional and mechanical parameters. Variations in material composition (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate), color, and compliance certifications do not affect the core substitution relationship, as these parameters do not impact the electrical or mechanical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Part 1516894 provides the closest alignment with the original 1692909, matching the PLUSCON series designation, green color specification, and REACH Unaffected status. This part represents the primary substitute for direct replacement applications.

Part 1452796 offers an alternative with identical core mechanical and electrical parameters but differs in material composition (PBT vs. Polyamide), color (Black vs. Green), and REACH compliance status. This part is suitable for applications where material and color variations are acceptable within system design constraints.

Both substitute parts meet current RoHS3 compliance requirements, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the obsolete original part. All three parts share identical ECCN classification and MSL ratings, confirming compatibility within regulated and moisture-sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1516894 directly replace the obsolete 1692909?

A: Yes. Part 1516894 maintains all critical parameters: M12 shell size, 8 connector openings with 5-position configuration, dust-tight and waterproof features, identical MSL rating, and REACH Unaffected status. The primary difference is material composition (PBT vs. Polyamide) and enhanced RoHS3 compliance, neither of which affects mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: Part 1516894 matches the original series designation (PLUSCON) and color (Green), while part 1452796 uses a different material (PBT), black color, and carries REACH Affected status. Both maintain identical M12 shell size, 8-opening configuration, and waterproof/dust-tight features. Selection depends on system-level requirements for material properties, color coding, and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the identified substitutes. All three parts share identical shell size (M12), connector opening configuration (8 openings, 5-position), sealing features (dust-tight, waterproof), and moisture sensitivity ratings. The parts are designed for the same circular connector interface applications.

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

A: Material composition differences do not affect the core substitution relationship. Both Polyamide and Polybutylene Terephthalate are suitable for M12 actuator box applications with identical environmental sealing requirements. Material selection is determined by system-level mechanical and thermal specifications beyond the scope of this substitution analysis.

Q: What is the significance of REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH status indicates regulatory compliance obligations in European markets. Part 1516894 maintains REACH Unaffected status matching the original part, while part 1452796 carries REACH Affected status. Selection should align with end-use market and regulatory requirements.
