Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1695168 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Connector Openings: 8 (mandatory match)
• Features: Dust Tight, Waterproof (mandatory match)
• Application Compatibility: Circular Connectors (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory match)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1517165 - Active status PLUSCON series variant with identical mechanical and environmental specifications, differing only in material composition and RoHS certification level.

1452699 - Active status alternative with identical core specifications but different color, material, and HTSUS classification, suitable for applications where material properties and color differentiation are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1517165 is the primary substitute for 1695168. Both components share identical PLUSCON series designation, green color, and polybutylene terephthalate material. The 1517165 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing direct functional equivalence with enhanced regulatory standing.

1452699 serves as an alternative substitute where material and color specifications permit deviation. This part maintains all critical environmental and mechanical parameters but differs in material composition (PBT vs. Polyamide) and visual identification (black vs. green). Selection of 1452699 requires confirmation that application requirements do not mandate specific material properties or color coding conventions.

Both substitute parts carry active product status and current compliance certifications, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1517165 and 1452699 be used interchangeably with 1695168?

A: Both parts satisfy the mandatory substitution criteria: M12 shell size, 8 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof features, and identical moisture sensitivity levels. Interchangeability depends on application-specific requirements regarding material properties and color identification.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1517165 and 1452699?

A: The 1517165 maintains PLUSCON series continuity and green color matching the original 1695168, with polybutylene terephthalate material. The 1452699 uses black color and lacks PLUSCON series designation but retains all core environmental and mechanical specifications.

Q: Why is the 1695168 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1517165 and 1452699 provide equivalent functionality and are currently manufactured, supporting continued system support and new procurement requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1695168 specifies dash packaging, while both 1517165 and 1452699 are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do all three parts meet current compliance standards?

A: The 1695168 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both 1517165 and 1452699 meet ROHS3 Compliant standards, representing current regulatory requirements. All three parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications.
