Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EVC814 qualifies as a direct substitute for the E11511 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical Specifications:

• Connector type: Plug, Female Sockets (identical)
• Number of positions: 5 (identical)
• Shell size: M12-5 (identical)
• Termination method: Screw (identical)
• Fastening type: Threaded (identical)
• Orientation: Keyed (identical)
• Shell material: Brass with nickel finish (identical)
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces (identical)
• Current rating: 4A (identical)

Matching Mechanical Specifications:

• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• Backshell and coupling nut features (identical)
• Unshielded configuration (identical)

Enhanced Performance Characteristics: The EVC814 provides improved ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68), extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 90°C versus -25°C ~ 85°C), and higher voltage rating (60VAC/DC versus 45VAC/70VDC). The EVC814 maintains backward compatibility while offering superior environmental sealing and thermal performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVC814 is the direct replacement for the obsolete E11511 circular connector. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector interface, ensuring pin-to-pin compatibility and functional interchangeability in existing applications.

The EVC814 is classified as active production status, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity. This is critical for systems requiring component replacement, maintenance, or new installations where the E11511 is no longer available.

The EVC814 offers enhanced performance margins across multiple parameters: increased voltage rating (60VAC/DC), extended ingress protection rating (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K), and expanded operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 90°C). These improvements do not introduce incompatibility; rather, they provide superior environmental sealing and thermal performance within the same mechanical envelope.

Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVC814 directly replace the E11511 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The EVC814 maintains identical connector type, pin count, shell size (M12-5), termination method (screw), fastening type (threaded), orientation (keyed), and current rating (4A). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The E11511 is classified as obsolete. The EVC814 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer (ifm efector, inc.) and provides identical core functionality with enhanced performance specifications.

Q: Are there differences in cable opening specifications?

A: The EVC814 accommodates a wider cable opening range (0.138" ~ 0.236" or 3.50mm ~ 6.00mm) compared to the E11511 (0.157" ~ 0.236" or 4.00mm ~ 6.00mm). This provides greater flexibility for cable diameter selection without affecting connector performance.

Q: Does the EVC814 provide better environmental protection?

A: The EVC814 offers enhanced ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K) compared to the E11511 (IP68). This provides superior dust and water resistance across a broader range of environmental conditions.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The EVC814 operates across -25°C ~ 90°C, extending the upper temperature limit by 5°C compared to the E11511 (-25°C ~ 85°C). This provides improved thermal margin for high-temperature applications.

Q: Are the voltage ratings compatible?

A: The EVC814 voltage rating (60VAC/DC) exceeds the E11511 specification (45VAC/70VDC). The EVC814 is suitable for all applications within the E11511 voltage envelope and supports higher voltage applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The E11511 is supplied without specified packaging, while the EVC814 is packaged in boxes. This does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. Both the E11511 and EVC814 are manufactured by ifm efector, inc., ensuring consistent design standards and quality control.
