Phoenix Contact 5439206 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5439206 is a 6-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. 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 compatible substitutes ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5439206 is determined by strict alignment of 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, 270° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Interface Compatibility: Female socket type, screw-based termination, M2 screw size, and tin contact mating finish
• Material & Safety Compliance: Polyamide (PA) nylon housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1862894 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and interface parameters. The primary distinction is product status (active vs. obsolete) and enhanced termination technology (rising cage clamp vs. standard screw).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1862894 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5439206 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical current (8A), voltage (320V IEC / 300V UL), pitch (4.60mm), position count (6), and wire entry orientation (270°). Wire gauge support is compatible, with the 1862894 extending the lower range to 0.14mm² versus 0.2mm² on the original part.

Compliance & Certification: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The 1862894 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, representing current regulatory alignment.

Product Status & Availability: The 5439206 is classified as obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1067 pcs). The 1862894 is active with substantially higher stock availability (4028 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Termination Enhancement: The 1862894 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology with specified torque parameters (0.22-0.25 Nm), providing improved connection reliability compared to standard screw termination on the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1862894 directly replace the 5439206 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A, 320V IEC), mechanical configuration (6-position, 4.60mm pitch, 270° entry), and interface specifications (female sockets, M2 screw, tin finish). Physical form factor and mounting type are equivalent, supporting direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference (0.2-1.5mm² vs. 0.14-1.5mm²)?

A: The 1862894 supports an extended lower wire gauge range, accommodating finer conductors down to 0.14mm². This represents an enhancement over the original part and does not restrict compatibility with existing wire specifications.

Q: Why is the 1862894 listed as active while the 5439206 is obsolete?

A: The 5439206 belongs to the legacy BCVP series and has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1862894 is part of the current COMBICON MCVW series, representing the manufacturer's active product line for equivalent 6-position, 4.60mm pitch terminal block plugs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5439206 is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the 1862894 is packaged in bulk. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: Does the rising cage clamp termination on the 1862894 affect compatibility?

A: No. Rising cage clamp termination is an enhancement to the screw termination mechanism and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The M2 screw interface remains consistent, and the specified torque range (0.22-0.25 Nm) ensures proper connection without modification to existing assembly procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5439206 is RoHS compliant, and the 1862894 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
