Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5440224 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A minimum), voltage rating (320V IEC minimum), and wire gauge support (14-30 AWG minimum)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 5-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 270° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Interface Compatibility: Female socket type, M2 screw termination, tin contact finish, and polyamide housing material
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 1827004 meets all critical substitution criteria across these parameters, with documented improvements in termination technology and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1827004 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 5440224. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 1827004 carries ROHS3 compliance status, representing current regulatory alignment compared to the legacy RoHS Compliant designation of the 5440224.

Product Availability: The 5440224 is classified as obsolete with limited inventory (954 pcs). The 1827004 is actively manufactured by Phoenix Contact with significantly higher stock availability (2151 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (8A/320V IEC, 8A/300V UL) and mechanical specifications (5-position, 3.81mm pitch, 270° entry, M2 screw termination) are identical between the two parts.

Enhanced Termination Technology: The 1827004 incorporates rising cage clamp termination, an advancement over the standard screw termination of the 5440224, while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Wire Gauge Support: The 1827004 supports wire gauges from 0.14-1.5mm² compared to 0.2-1.5mm² for the 5440224, providing expanded compatibility for smaller gauge applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1827004 directly replace the 5440224 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 1827004 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 5440224 across all critical parameters: 5-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 270° wire entry, 8A/320V (IEC) rating, and M2 screw termination. Both parts feature identical insulation height (0.752"), housing material (polyamide), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: What is the difference in termination style between these parts?

A: The 5440224 uses standard screw termination, while the 1827004 uses screw termination with rising cage clamp technology. This enhancement in the 1827004 provides improved wire retention and contact reliability while maintaining full compatibility with the original design.

Q: Are there any wire gauge compatibility differences?

A: The 1827004 supports wire gauges from 0.14-1.5mm² (14-30 AWG), while the 5440224 supports 0.2-1.5mm² (14-30 AWG). The 1827004 extends compatibility to smaller gauge wires, making it suitable for a broader range of applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5440224 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1827004 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 5440224 classified as obsolete?

A: The 5440224 belongs to the legacy BCVP series. Phoenix Contact has transitioned to the COMBICON MCVW series, represented by the 1827004, which incorporates enhanced termination technology and current regulatory compliance (ROHS3).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5440224 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1827004 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements; the 1827004 designation reflects alignment with the current ROHS3 standard.

Q: What is the torque specification for the M2 screws?

A: The 5440224 does not specify screw torque. The 1827004 specifies 0.22-0.25 Nm (1.9-2.2 Lb-In) for M2 screw termination, providing engineering guidance for proper installation.
