Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5442921 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (15A), voltage rating (300V), and wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (2), mating orientation (35° angle), and through-hole mounting
• Termination Method: Screw-type wire termination with M3 thread and matching torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm)
• Material and Environmental: Polyamide housing, RoHS compliance, and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part 1713024 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1713024 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5442921 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part maintains identical current, voltage, pitch, and wire gauge specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing PCB designs.

The 1713024 offers the advantage of active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The part carries ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS compliance level of the original part, and includes REACH Unaffected certification. The rising cage clamp termination method represents an enhancement to the screw termination mechanism while maintaining the same M3 thread and torque specification.

Selection of the 1713024 is supported by equivalent packaging availability (bulk) and higher current inventory levels, facilitating procurement for new production runs or design refreshes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1713024 be used as a direct replacement for the 5442921 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (15A, 300V), mechanical dimensions (5mm pitch, 2 positions, 35° orientation), mounting method (through-hole), and wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG). The M3 screw thread and torque specification are equivalent.

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

A: Both termination methods use M3 screws with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm). The rising cage clamp in the 1713024 provides an enhanced wire retention mechanism while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the series change from COMBICON BCA to COMBICON SMKDS affect compatibility?

A: No. The series designation reflects product line organization within Phoenix Contact's portfolio. The functional parameters that determine PCB fit and electrical performance remain identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates the 1713024 is in current production with assured availability. This eliminates supply risk associated with obsolete components and supports long-term design sustainability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5442921 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1713024 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats are standard for terminal block distribution and do not affect component functionality or PCB integration.
