Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5440693 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 14 positions, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, female socket plug type
• Mechanical Interface: 270° wire entry angle, free-hanging in-line mounting
• Electrical Performance: Minimum 12A current capacity (IEC), 630V voltage rating (IEC), compatible wire gauge 12-30 AWG
• Material & Safety Compliance: Polyamide housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance
• Termination Compatibility: Screw-based termination systems

The Phoenix Contact 1792870 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792870 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using the 5440693. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Availability: The 1792870 is in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance; the 1792870 meets the current ROHS3 standard.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters align—14 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 270° wire entry, free-hanging mounting, and identical wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG). Both parts are rated for 12A (IEC) and 630V (IEC), with the 1792870 providing 15A (UL) versus 12A (UL) on the original part, representing a performance enhancement within the same mechanical envelope.

Termination Compatibility: Both parts employ screw-based termination. The 1792870 uses a rising cage clamp mechanism, which is functionally compatible with standard screw termination practices for this connector class.

Material & Safety: Identical polyamide housing and UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensure equivalent thermal and fire safety performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1792870 directly replace the 5440693 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces (14 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 270° entry), electrical ratings (12A IEC, 630V IEC), and wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG). The 1792870 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the screw termination styles?

A: The 5440693 uses standard screw termination, while the 1792870 uses a rising cage clamp screw mechanism. Both are screw-based systems compatible with standard wiring practices for this connector pitch and position count.

Q: Does the 1792870 support the same wire gauges?

A: Yes. Both parts accept 12-30 AWG wire (0.2-2.5mm²), with identical insulation height (1.024" / 26.01mm).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 5440693 was supplied with unspecified packaging; the 1792870 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Is the 1792870 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1792870 meets ROHS3 compliance, the current RoHS standard, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement.

Q: What is the current availability of these parts?

A: The 5440693 is obsolete. The 1792870 is in active production with current inventory availability, making it the recommended selection for new applications and replacements.
