This Phoenix Contact 1669851 Sensor Actuator Cable Assembly is designed for industrial automation and control systems, offering a reliable connection between sensors and actuators. Its key benefit is the robust, halogen-free PUR cable construction combined with a shielded, right-angle M12 connector for secure data transmission in demanding environments. A potential caveat for some applications is its fixed 1.5-meter length, which may require extensions for longer runs. Key features include a 5-position socket, A-coded M12 connector, and an unterminated free end for flexible wiring.

A-coded M12 connectors are typically used for standard sensor and actuator signals. They have 5 pins and a specific keying arrangement to prevent incorrect mating with other M12 connector types (like B, C, D, or X-coded).
Polyurethane (PUR) offers excellent resistance to oils, greases, and many chemicals, along with good abrasion resistance and flexibility, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Yes, you can extend the cable by using a compatible M12 extension cable or by splicing the unterminated end with additional wiring, provided proper insulation and connection techniques are used to maintain signal integrity and environmental sealing.
While designed for sensor and actuator signals, the shielded nature of this cable helps maintain signal integrity. For very high-frequency data transmission, specific data cables with appropriate impedance matching might be required. Please consult the specific application requirements.
The free end needs to be wired according to the pinout of your receiving device. This typically involves stripping the outer jacket and individual wire insulation, then connecting each wire to the appropriate terminal in a junction box, terminal block, or another connector.
This cable is designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range of -40°C to 80°C.
MPN 1669851 is the Manufacturer Part Number assigned by Phoenix Contact to this specific sensor actuator cable assembly.
Verify that the M12 connector is fully seated and locked. Check the wiring continuity on the unterminated end using a multimeter. Ensure correct pin assignments are used and that the mating connector on the control system is functional and properly configured.
Confirm that the cable shield is properly connected and grounded (if applicable). Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the cable that could damage internal conductors. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the specified temperature range or expose the cable to incompatible chemicals.
Ensure no dirt or debris is present in the connector threads or mating surfaces. Check that the locking mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Do not force the connection; if resistance is met, inspect for misalignment or damage.
Setup: Connect the M12 socket end to a compatible M12 plug on a sensor or device. The free, unterminated end requires proper wiring to the receiving equipment (e.g., PLC, junction box). Ensure correct pin assignments are followed according to the sensor/actuator and control system specifications. For optimal signal integrity, proper grounding of the shield is recommended if applicable.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with M12, 5-position, A-coded sensor/actuator systems. Ensure your sensor, actuator, and control system utilize this standard. It is compatible with Phoenix Contact's range of M12 connectors and related automation components.
Care: To maintain performance, regularly inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Clean the cable jacket with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning materials, as they can degrade the PUR material. Ensure connectors are securely fastened to prevent ingress of dust or moisture.
