Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1695676 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M12 (mandatory match)
• Accessory Type: Actuator Box (mandatory match)
• Features: Dust Tight, Waterproof (mandatory match)
• For Use With/Related Products: Circular Connectors (mandatory match)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (mandatory match)
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer preferred for consistency)

The substitute parts identified (1516742 and 1452880) maintain compatibility with the core mechanical and electrical specifications. However, variations exist in connector opening count, material composition, and color, which may affect suitability depending on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1516742

Part 1516742 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 1695676. Both parts share identical shell size (M12), protective features (dust tight, waterproof), and RoHS compliance. The 1516742 maintains the green color specification of the original part and is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. The material change from polyamide to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) provides equivalent environmental protection and mechanical durability. The reduction from 8 to 6 connector openings represents the primary functional difference and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Secondary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1452880

Part 1452880 provides an alternative with identical M12 shell size, protective features, and RoHS compliance. This part is also in active production. The material composition (PBT) and connector opening count (6) match the primary substitute. The black color differs from the original green specification and may affect visual identification in field installations.

Both substitute parts maintain compliance with ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8543.70.9860 classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1516742 or 1452880 directly replace the 1695676 in existing installations?

A: Both parts maintain the M12 shell size insert and dust tight, waterproof features required for circular connector applications. However, the reduction from 8 to 6 connector openings must be verified against your specific system configuration before implementation.

Q: What is the material difference between the original part and the substitutes?

A: The 1695676 uses polyamide material, while both 1516742 and 1452880 use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials provide equivalent environmental sealing and mechanical performance for M12 actuator box applications.

Q: Does the color difference between 1516742 (green) and 1452880 (black) affect functionality?

A: Color is a visual identification characteristic only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection between green and black should be based on system documentation and field identification requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1695676, 1516742, and 1452880 are all RoHS compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Why is the 1695676 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1695676 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1516742 and 1452880 represent the current active product line for equivalent M12 sensor actuator box applications.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both 1516742 and 1452880 are supplied in bulk packaging.
