Phoenix Contact 5449908 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5449908 is a 10-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives 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.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5449908 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Substitute must maintain 10 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch for mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
Connector Type & Orientation: Female socket plugs with 270° wire entry ensure compatibility with existing receptacle housings and cable routing
Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed 8A (IEC) and 320V (IEC) to maintain system safety margins
Termination Method: Screw-based termination ensures compatibility with existing wiring practices and installation procedures
Housing Material & Flammability: Polyamide construction with UL94 V-0 rating maintains fire safety compliance in the original application
Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge range must accommodate 14-30 AWG conductors

The Phoenix Contact 1827059 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, connector type, wire entry angle, electrical ratings, and housing material specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1827059 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5449908 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (8A IEC, 320V IEC), position count (10), pitch (3.81mm), and mechanical form factor. The 1827059 accepts a slightly wider wire gauge range (0.14-1.5mm² versus 0.2-1.5mm²), providing enhanced flexibility for conductor selection.

Termination Enhancement: The 1827059 employs rising cage clamp termination in addition to screw termination, offering improved wire retention and reduced installation time compared to screw-only termination on the 5449908.

Compliance Status: The 1827059 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and tin contact mating finish.

Packaging & Availability: The 1827059 is supplied in bulk packaging with 669 units in stock, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1827059 directly replace the 5449908 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, position count, pitch, wire entry angle, and housing material. The 1827059 is mechanically and electrically compatible with all mating receptacles and wiring configurations designed for the 5449908.

Q: What is the difference in termination between these two parts?

A: The 5449908 uses screw termination only. The 1827059 uses screw termination with rising cage clamp technology, which provides additional wire retention and may reduce installation time. Both termination methods are compatible with 14-30 AWG wire.

Q: Does the 1827059 accept the same wire gauge range as the 5449908?

A: The 1827059 accepts 0.14-1.5mm² (14-30 AWG), while the 5449908 accepts 0.2-1.5mm². The 1827059 supports a slightly wider range at the lower end, making it suitable for finer conductors if required.

Q: Why is the 5449908 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The Phoenix Contact 1827059 (COMBICON MCVW series) represents the active successor within Phoenix Contact's terminal block product line.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The 1827059 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts maintain identical electrical safety certifications (8A IEC, 320V IEC).

Q: What is the screw size for both parts?

A: Both the 5449908 and 1827059 use M2 screws for wire termination.
