Phoenix Contact 1698194 Sensor Actuator Box - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1698194 is a sensor actuator box designed for M12 circular connector applications with 8 connector openings. This component provides dust-tight and waterproof protection for sensor and transducer installations. The main part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new installations where this functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1698194 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• M12 shell size and insert compatibility
• 8 connector opening configuration
• Dust-tight and waterproof feature set
• Circular connector application compatibility
• RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level rating

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Phoenix Contact 1452916 and Phoenix Contact 1516771. Both maintain the core mechanical and environmental specifications required for direct functional replacement in M12 circular connector assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are actively produced by Phoenix Contact and maintain full compliance with current RoHS3 and REACH regulations. The 1516771 is the preferred substitute when PLUSCON series continuity is required, as it maintains the same series designation as the original 1698194. The 1452916 provides an alternative with equivalent mechanical and environmental specifications but uses a different material composition (PBT versus polyamide) and is not designated to a specific series.

Material differences between the main part (polyamide) and substitutes (PBT) do not affect functional compatibility for M12 circular connector applications, as both materials meet the dust-tight and waterproof requirements. Color variation (green versus black) is a cosmetic distinction with no impact on electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1452916 directly replace 1698194 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical M12 shell size, 8 connector opening configuration, dust-tight and waterproof features, and MSL ratings. The material difference (PBT versus polyamide) does not affect functional compatibility for circular connector applications.

Q: Why is Phoenix Contact 1516771 recommended as the primary substitute?

A: The 1516771 maintains PLUSCON series alignment with the original 1698194, ensuring consistency in system documentation and component traceability. It also provides LED functionality as an additional feature.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part carries RoHS Compliant status, while both substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current regulatory requirements. REACH and ECCN classifications are identical across all three parts.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk versus other configurations) does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement and inventory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have no moisture sensitivity limitations and require no special handling or storage conditions. This rating is consistent across the main part and all substitutes.
