Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5440619 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (12A IEC, 630V IEC minimum)
• Physical Compatibility: 6 positions, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 270° wire entry orientation must be identical
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing installations
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line mounting type must match the original design
• Wire Gauge Acceptance: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire range ensures compatibility with existing harnesses
• Material and Safety Compliance: Polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 rating and RoHS compliance maintain regulatory and safety standards

The substitute part 1792799 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced features and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792799 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5440619 and is the recommended substitute for new designs and replacement applications.

Compliance and Availability: The 1792799 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 5440619, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain risk and may not meet current environmental standards in all jurisdictions.

Electrical Performance: Both parts maintain identical IEC ratings (12A, 630V). The 1792799 provides enhanced UL current rating (15A versus 12A), offering improved performance margin in UL-regulated applications while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Mechanical and Functional Equivalence: Identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (6), wire entry angle (270°), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), and wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG, 0.2-2.5mm²) ensure direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Enhanced Features: The 1792799 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology and retention latches, providing improved wire retention and connection reliability compared to standard screw termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792799 directly replace the 5440619 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (6), wire entry orientation (270°), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.2-2.5mm²). Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed across all critical parameters.

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

A: The 5440619 uses standard screw termination. The 1792799 employs rising cage clamp technology with retention latches, providing enhanced wire retention and connection security without affecting mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there voltage or current limitations when substituting the 1792799 for the 5440619?

A: No. The 1792799 meets or exceeds all electrical ratings. IEC ratings are identical (12A, 630V). UL current rating increases from 12A to 15A, providing additional performance margin. UL voltage rating remains 300V. Both parts support identical wire gauges.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5440619 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1792799 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the 5440619 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The 1792799 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring access to ongoing technical support, documentation, and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5440619 is RoHS Compliant. The 1792799 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts meet environmental compliance requirements.
