Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1695171 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Accessory type: Actuator Box
• Shell size: M12
• Connector openings: 8
• Position configuration: 4-Position
• Environmental protection: Dust tight and waterproof capability
• Circular connector compatibility

Secondary Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• REACH compliance status
• ECCN classification

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with varying material compositions and product statuses.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1695171 to 1517178 Substitution

Part 1517178 provides the closest functional equivalence to the obsolete 1695171. Both components share identical series designation (PLUSCON), color (green), and material composition (polyamide base). The 1517178 maintains RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. This substitute is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the primary replacement option for direct application continuity.

1695171 to 1452709 Substitution

Part 1452709 meets all core functional requirements with equivalent M12 shell size, 8 connector openings, and dust-tight/waterproof protection. Material composition differs (PBT instead of polyamide) and color is black rather than green. This part carries ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the original RoHS requirement. The 1452709 is suitable for applications where material and color variations are acceptable and where enhanced compliance standards are beneficial.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain the same ECCN classification and MSL rating as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1452709 replace 1695171 in existing installations?

A: Yes, functionally. The 1452709 maintains all critical parameters: M12 shell size, 8 connector openings, 4-position configuration, dust-tight and waterproof features, and circular connector compatibility. Material composition (PBT vs. polyamide) and color (black vs. green) differ but do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard actuator box applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1517178 and 1452709?

A: The 1517178 matches the original 1695171 in material (polyamide) and color (green), providing visual and material continuity. The 1452709 uses PBT material and black color. Both are functionally equivalent for M12 circular connector applications with identical connector opening count and environmental protection ratings.

Q: Why is 1695171 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The substitute parts 1517178 and 1452709 are currently active and available, providing continuity for applications requiring this actuator box functionality.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 1695171 is listed with packaging designation "-" (unspecified). Both substitute parts 1452709 and 1517178 are supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for this component category.

Q: Do all three parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All parts maintain RoHS compliance (1695171 and 1517178: RoHS Compliant; 1452709: ROHS3 Compliant), REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for all three parts.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either 1517178 or 1452709 is appropriate based on specific requirements. Select 1517178 if material and color consistency with legacy systems is required. Select 1452709 if enhanced compliance standards (ROHS3) and alternative material properties are acceptable.
