Phoenix Contact 5449351 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5449351 is a 15-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 suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 8A (IEC/UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with screw termination and polyamide housing rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5449351 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 15-position configuration with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket plug type with 270° wire entry orientation
• Free-hanging in-line mounting configuration
• Minimum 8A current and 320V voltage ratings (IEC standard)
• Screw-based termination mechanism
• Wire gauge compatibility within 14-30 AWG range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 1862988 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the 1862988 employs a rising cage clamp termination variant and supports an extended wire gauge range (0.14-1.5mm²), these differences represent functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1862988 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 5449351 based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring continued compliance with environmental and safety standards.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings (8A IEC, 320V IEC, 8A UL, 300V UL) confirm direct electrical interchangeability without circuit redesign.

Mechanical Compatibility: Matching 15-position configuration, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, 270° wire entry, and free-hanging in-line mounting ensure physical fit within existing connector housings and cable assemblies.

Product Status: The 1862988 carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (940 pcs), providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete 5449351.

Termination Enhancement: The rising cage clamp termination in the 1862988 represents a functional improvement over standard screw termination, offering simplified wire insertion and improved contact reliability without introducing incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1862988 directly replace the 5449351 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A, 320V IEC), mechanical configuration (15 positions, 4.60mm pitch, 270° entry), and regulatory compliance (RoHS, UL94 V-0). Physical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

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

A: The 5449351 uses standard screw termination requiring manual screw tightening. The 1862988 uses rising cage clamp termination, which simplifies wire insertion through an integrated clamp mechanism. Both achieve equivalent electrical connection and current capacity.

Q: Does the extended wire gauge range (0.14-1.5mm²) in the 1862988 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended lower limit (0.14mm² versus 0.2mm²) represents expanded capability. The 1862988 remains fully compatible with the original 0.2-1.5mm² wire gauge specification of the 5449351.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5449351 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 1862988 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the series designation difference between BCVP and COMBICON MCVW?

A: These represent different product series within Phoenix Contact's terminal block portfolio. The COMBICON MCVW series (1862988) is the current-generation equivalent to the obsolete BCVP series (5449351), offering the same functional performance with modern manufacturing standards.
