Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1695281 has one identified equivalent substitute: part number 1175449. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts feature 8 connector openings, maintaining identical interface capacity
• Environmental Protection: Both maintain dust-tight and waterproof sealing characteristics
• Color and Appearance: Both are black, ensuring visual consistency in system integration
• Circular Connector Compatibility: Both are designed for use with circular connectors
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Material Composition: The substitute uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) instead of polyamide, representing a material upgrade with equivalent mechanical and environmental performance characteristics

The primary distinction between these parts is material composition and product status, with the substitute (1175449) being an active production component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using Phoenix Contact 1695281, part number 1175449 serves as the direct functional equivalent. The substitute maintains all critical operational parameters: 8-connector configuration, dust-tight and waterproof sealing, circular connector compatibility, and full RoHS compliance.

The material change from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) represents a material enhancement rather than a compromise. PBT offers superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for replacement in existing designs without modification.

The active production status of 1175449 ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity, addressing the obsolescence of the original part. This substitute is appropriate for new designs, system upgrades, and component replacement in maintenance scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1175449 directly replace 1695281 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector opening count (8), environmental protection ratings (dust-tight, waterproof), color (black), and regulatory compliance (RoHS). The material change from polyamide to PBT does not affect mechanical fit or functional performance in circular connector applications.

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

A: Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a higher-performance engineering plastic offering improved chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and thermal properties compared to polyamide. This represents a material upgrade suitable for the same application space.

Q: Why is the original part 1695281 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. Phoenix Contact 1175449 has superseded this part in the product line while maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part 1695281 has unspecified packaging, while the substitute 1175449 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
