Phoenix Contact 5449283 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5449283 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 BCVP series plug accepts 14-30 AWG wire (0.2-1.5mm²) and operates at 8A/320V (IEC) or 8A/300V (UL), with screw termination and tin-plated contacts.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 5449283 is based on matching the following critical parameters:

• 6-position configuration with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing
• 270° free hanging (in-line) plug orientation
• Female socket type with screw termination
• 8A/320V (IEC) electrical rating
• Wire gauge compatibility: 14-30 AWG minimum
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Polyamide (PA) housing material
• Tin contact mating finish

The Phoenix Contact 1862894 (COMBICON MCVW series) satisfies all substitution criteria. This active part maintains identical position count, pitch, orientation, and electrical ratings while offering enhanced wire gauge range (0.14-1.5mm²) and improved termination technology (rising cage clamp).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1862894 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 5449283. Selection is based on:

• Identical electrical performance: 8A/320V (IEC) and 8A/300V (UL) ratings
• Matching mechanical interface: 6-position, 4.60mm pitch, 270° orientation
• Equivalent housing and contact materials with identical flammability certification
• ROHS3 compliance status exceeds the original RoHS requirement
• Rising cage clamp termination in the 1862894 represents current Phoenix Contact technology while maintaining screw-based connection methodology
• Wire gauge range expansion (0.14-1.5mm²) in the substitute provides additional application flexibility

The 1862894 is available in active production with 4028 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity for replacement and new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1862894 directly replace the 5449283 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (6), pitch (4.60mm), wire entry angle (270°), electrical ratings (8A/320V IEC), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). The 1862894 uses rising cage clamp screw termination, which is mechanically and electrically compatible with standard 4.60mm pitch receptacles.

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

A: Both are screw-based connection methods. Rising cage clamp technology in the 1862894 provides enhanced wire retention and contact pressure consistency compared to standard screw terminals, representing an engineering improvement while maintaining backward compatibility.

Q: Does the 1862894 accept the same wire gauge range as the 5449283?

A: The 1862894 accepts 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²), which includes the original 5449283 range of 14-30 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). The substitute supports an additional 0.06mm² minimum, providing broader application compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5449283 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1862894 is available in bulk packaging. Both are RoHS compliant and suitable for industrial terminal block applications.

Q: What certifications apply to the 1862894?

A: The 1862894 holds UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
