Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EVC813 qualifies as a direct substitute for the E11505 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with male pins
• Position count: 4 positions
• Shell size: M12-4 keyed configuration
• Termination method: Screw-based wire attachment
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded coupling
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging in-line with right angle orientation
• Shell construction: Brass with nickel finish
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces
• Shielding classification: Unshielded
• Primary material composition: Metal construction
• Current capacity: 4A rating
• Temperature operating range: -25°C minimum (EVC813 extends to 90°C maximum versus 85°C)

Enhanced Specifications in Substitute: The EVC813 provides expanded voltage ratings (250VAC, 300VDC versus 45VAC, 70VDC) and superior ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68 only), making it suitable for applications requiring the original E11505 specifications while offering additional environmental protection margins.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVC813 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete E11505 circular connector. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 4-position M12 keyed configuration, screw termination, 4A current rating, brass nickel-plated shell with gold-plated contacts, and unshielded construction.

The EVC813 maintains full backward compatibility with E11505 applications while providing enhanced performance margins. The substitute offers expanded voltage ratings (250VAC/300VDC versus 45VAC/70VDC) and superior ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68), enabling deployment in more demanding environmental conditions without compromising original application requirements.

The EVC813 holds active product status with ifm efector, inc., ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and technical documentation. This status transition from obsolete to active eliminates supply chain risk and provides long-term component availability for both new designs and field service applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVC813 directly replace the E11505 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The EVC813 provides identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, mounting configuration, and current/voltage ratings. The keyed M12-4 interface ensures proper mating with existing mated connectors.

Q: What are the key differences between E11505 and EVC813?

A: The primary differences are product status and enhanced performance specifications. The EVC813 is actively manufactured, whereas the E11505 is obsolete. The EVC813 provides expanded voltage ratings (250VAC/300VDC versus 45VAC/70VDC) and enhanced ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68 only). Both maintain identical 4A current capacity and operating temperature minimum of -25°C.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The E11505 is supplied without specified packaging, while the EVC813 is packaged in boxes. This distinction affects logistics and storage but does not impact connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Does the EVC813 operate across the same temperature range as the E11505?

A: The EVC813 extends the upper operating temperature limit to 90°C compared to the E11505 at 85°C. Both maintain the same minimum operating temperature of -25°C. This extended range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: What ingress protection rating should be specified for new designs?

A: The EVC813 supports IP65, IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings depending on application requirements. For applications originally specified with E11505 IP68 protection, the EVC813 maintains full IP68 compliance while offering additional protection options.

Q: Are both connectors manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. Both the E11505 and EVC813 are manufactured by ifm efector, inc., ensuring consistent design philosophy, quality standards, and technical support.

Q: What is the cable opening range for each connector?

A: The E11505 accommodates cable diameters from 0.157" to 0.236" (4.00mm to 6.00mm). The EVC813 accepts cables from 0.138" to 0.236" (3.50mm to 6.00mm), providing slightly greater flexibility for smaller diameter cables.
