Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5449872 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Configuration: 7-position plug with female sockets
Pitch Specification: 0.150" (3.81mm) center-to-center spacing
Wire Entry Orientation: 270° free-hanging in-line configuration
Electrical Ratings: Minimum 8A current capacity and 320V voltage rating (IEC standard)
Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 14-30 AWG conductor range
Termination Method: Screw-based wire termination
Housing Material & Compliance: Polyamide construction with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Phoenix Contact 1827020 meets all substitution criteria. While it employs a rising cage clamp termination variant and belongs to the COMBICON MCVW series (versus the obsolete BCVP series), it maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 5449872 across all specified parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1827020 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 5449872. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1827020 carries active product status with 885 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity for the discontinued 5449872.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. The 1827020 achieves ROHS3 compliance (enhanced over standard RoHS), and carries REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Identical electrical ratings (8A/320V IEC, 8A/300V UL), pitch specification (3.81mm), wire entry orientation (270°), and mounting configuration ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Termination Enhancement: The 1827020 employs rising cage clamp termination versus standard screw termination on the 5449872. This represents a design improvement offering enhanced wire retention and reduced installation time, with no negative impact on compatibility.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 1827020 supports an extended lower wire gauge range (0.14mm² minimum versus 0.2mm² on the 5449872), providing greater flexibility for fine-gauge conductor applications while maintaining full compatibility with the original 14-30 AWG specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1827020 directly replace the 5449872 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1827020 maintains identical electrical ratings (8A/320V IEC), pitch (3.81mm), wire entry angle (270°), and mounting configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: Both termination methods are screw-based wire connection systems. Rising cage clamp termination on the 1827020 provides enhanced wire retention through a spring-loaded cage mechanism, improving connection reliability and reducing installation time compared to standard screw termination.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: No. The 1827020 supports 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²), which encompasses the original 5449872 specification of 14-30 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). The extended lower range on the 1827020 provides additional flexibility without affecting compatibility.

Q: Does the COMBICON MCVW series (1827020) mate with BCVP series (5449872) connectors?

A: Yes. Both series employ identical 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, female socket configuration, and 270° wire entry orientation. Mechanical and electrical mating is fully compatible.

Q: What are the compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 5449872 is RoHS Compliant. The 1827020 is ROHS3 Compliant and carries REACH unaffected status, representing enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Q: Is the 1827020 available in the same packaging as the 5449872?

A: The 5449872 packaging is not specified in available data. The 1827020 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.
