Phoenix Contact 1695346 Sensor Actuator Box - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1695346 is a sensor actuator box designed for use with circular connectors in industrial sensing and transduction applications. This component features an M12 shell size with 8 connector openings, polyamide construction, and comprehensive environmental protection through dust-tight and waterproof design. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1695346 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mechanical compatibility with circular connector systems)
• Accessory Type: Actuator Box (functional classification)
• Environmental Protection: Dust Tight, Waterproof (operational environment requirements)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (application compatibility)
• RoHS Compliance Status: Regulatory requirement for component selection

The substitute part 1452835 maintains compatibility across these core parameters. Variations in connector opening count (8 vs. 6), material composition (polyamide vs. PBT), color (green vs. black), and product status (obsolete vs. active) represent secondary design differences that do not prevent functional substitution when system requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1452835 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1695346 based on maintained M12 shell size compatibility, identical environmental protection ratings, and equivalent regulatory compliance. Both components meet RoHS requirements and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming their functional equivalence within circular connector systems.

The 1452835 holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1695346. The material transition from polyamide to PBT and reduction in connector openings from 8 to 6 represent design refinements in the active product line. These differences require evaluation against specific system requirements but do not prevent substitution in applications where the reduced connector opening count is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1452835 directly replace the 1695346 in existing installations?

A: Both components share M12 shell size, dust-tight and waterproof environmental protection, and identical regulatory classifications. Substitution is mechanically and electrically feasible. System design must accommodate the reduction from 8 to 6 connector openings.

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

A: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) offers enhanced chemical resistance and dimensional stability compared to polyamide. Both materials maintain the required environmental protection ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Why is the 1695346 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. The 1452835 represents the current active equivalent within the Phoenix Contact product portfolio.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The 1452835 carries ROHS3 designation, representing the current regulatory standard. Both share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications for export and tariff purposes.

Q: Does the color difference affect functionality?

A: Color represents a cosmetic design variation. The green (1695346) and black (1452835) designations do not impact electrical or mechanical performance in circular connector applications.
