Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1695236 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Must be Actuator Box
• Connector Configuration: Must support 4 connector openings
• Environmental Protection: Must maintain dust-tight and waterproof specifications
• Application Compatibility: Must be suitable for use with circular connectors
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity: Must support MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating

The substitute part 1175448 meets all these criteria, with the primary material difference being polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) instead of polyamide, while maintaining identical functional and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1175448 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1695236. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain identical functional specifications for sensor actuator box applications with circular connectors.

Primary Advantage: The 1175448 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (899 pcs), whereas the 1695236 is obsolete. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and equivalent environmental protection ratings (dust-tight, waterproof).

Material Consideration: The substitute uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) instead of polyamide. Both materials are suitable for industrial sensor actuator box applications and maintain the specified environmental protection characteristics.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet identical regulatory requirements including RoHS compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1175448 directly replace the 1695236 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical functional specifications including 4 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof enclosure design, black color, and circular connector compatibility. The material difference (PBT vs. polyamide) does not affect functional compatibility for sensor actuator box applications.

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

A: Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a high-performance engineering plastic commonly used in industrial enclosure applications. Both materials provide the required environmental protection (dust-tight, waterproof) and maintain equivalent performance characteristics for this product category.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1695236 and 1175448 maintain RoHS compliance status, suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification, meaning these components can be stored indefinitely without special moisture control measures prior to installation.

Q: Why is the 1695236 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1695236 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1175448 represents the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for new designs and system maintenance.
