Phoenix Contact 5437606 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5437606 is a 6-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, and 90° wire entry. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs. The part operates at 8A (IEC/UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), supporting wire gauges from 14-30 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). Locating functionally equivalent substitutes ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5437606 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A IEC/UL), voltage rating (320V IEC / 300V UL), and wire gauge support (14-30 AWG minimum)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 6-position configuration, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, 90° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Interface: Screw-based termination mechanism
• Housing & Safety: Polyamide (PA) nylon construction with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Connector Type: Female socket plug configuration

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1863194 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in termination style (rising cage clamp vs. standard screw), wire gauge minimum (0.14mm² vs. 0.2mm²), color, and product status do not prevent functional substitution when electrical and mechanical requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1863194 is the direct functional equivalent for 5437606 applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (8A / 320V IEC), mechanical configuration (6-position, 4.60mm pitch, 90° entry), and safety compliance (UL94 V-0).

The 1863194 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. It carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The rising cage clamp termination mechanism in 1863194 provides an alternative to standard screw termination while maintaining M2 screw interface compatibility.

The wire gauge minimum specification difference (0.14mm² vs. 0.2mm²) in 1863194 represents expanded compatibility with smaller conductor sizes and does not restrict use with the original 0.2-1.5mm² range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1863194 directly replace 5437606 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A / 320V IEC), 6-position configuration, 4.60mm pitch, 90° wire entry, and free-hanging mounting. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between screw termination and rising cage clamp termination?

A: Both are screw-based termination mechanisms. Rising cage clamp termination in 1863194 provides an alternative wire insertion method while maintaining the same M2 screw interface and torque specifications (0.22-0.25 Nm). Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Does the wire gauge minimum difference (0.14mm² vs. 0.2mm²) affect compatibility?

A: No. The 1863194 supports a wider wire gauge range (0.14-1.5mm²) compared to 5437606 (0.2-1.5mm²). This expanded range is backward compatible with the original specification and does not restrict applications using 0.2-1.5mm² conductors.

Q: Why is 5437606 obsolete while 1863194 is active?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. 1863194 represents the current active equivalent in the Phoenix Contact COMBICON MCVR series, ensuring long-term availability and support for new designs and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: 5437606 packaging is not specified in available data. 1863194 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. 1863194 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards. 5437606 RoHS compliance status is confirmed without REACH specification.
