Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Alpha Wire 804-CN NC032 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: M8 (physical connector interface standard)
• Connector Openings: 8 (port count and configuration)
• Accessory Type: Actuator Box (functional classification)
• Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) (environmental and mechanical durability)
• Features: Dust Tight, Waterproof (environmental protection rating)
• Application Category: Sensors, Transducers (circular connector systems)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1197406 meets all these critical parameters, making it functionally equivalent for applications requiring an M8 8-port actuator box connector with dust-tight and waterproof protection in sensor and transducer systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1197406 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Alpha Wire 804-CN NC032. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: M8 shell size, 8-port configuration, PBT material construction, dust-tight and waterproof protection, and MSL 1 rating.

The primary distinction is product status: the Alpha Wire component is obsolete, while the Phoenix Contact 1197406 maintains active production status. Both components meet RoHS compliance requirements, with the Alpha Wire part certified to ROHS3 and the Phoenix Contact part to RoHS standard. The Phoenix Contact 1197406 is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs and new implementations requiring M8 8-port actuator box connectors for sensor and transducer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1197406 directly replace the Alpha Wire 804-CN NC032?

A: Yes. Both components share identical specifications for shell size (M8), connector openings (8), material (PBT), protective features (dust tight, waterproof), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: Why is finding a substitute necessary for the Alpha Wire 804-CN NC032?

A: The Alpha Wire 804-CN NC032 is classified as obsolete. Substitute components ensure continued availability for system maintenance, repair, and new designs requiring this connector type.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The Alpha Wire part is certified to ROHS3, while the Phoenix Contact part meets RoHS standard. Both are REACH unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching shell size (M8), connector opening count (8), material (PBT), protective features (dust tight, waterproof), and application category (sensors, transducers). These parameters ensure functional equivalence in circular connector systems.

Q: Is packaging type a consideration for substitution?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging type does not affect functional substitution eligibility.
