Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5450117 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A IEC/UL), voltage rating (320V IEC / 300V UL), and wire gauge support (14-30 AWG / 0.2-1.5mm²)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 16-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 270° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Material & Safety: Polyamide (PA) housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and tin contact mating finish
• Termination Interface: Screw-based termination with M2 screw size

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1828634 maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while introducing an enhanced termination mechanism (Rising Cage Clamp) and improved compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1828634 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5450117 for all applications requiring 16-position, 3.81mm pitch terminal block plugs with 8A/320V (IEC) electrical ratings and 270° free-hanging mounting.

Primary Advantage: The 1828634 carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 5450117's Obsolete classification creates sourcing risk for new designs and ongoing maintenance.

Compliance Consideration: The 1828634 meets ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, providing enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the 5450117's RoHS Compliant status. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and equivalent electrical performance.

Termination Enhancement: The 1828634 incorporates Rising Cage Clamp termination with specified torque parameters (0.22-0.25 Nm), compared to the 5450117's standard screw termination. This represents a design improvement without affecting mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The 1828634 supports wire gauges down to 0.14mm² (versus 0.2mm² minimum for the 5450117), providing expanded compatibility for smaller gauge applications within the 14-30 AWG range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1828634 directly replace the 5450117 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (8A/320V IEC), mechanical configuration (16-position, 3.81mm pitch, 270° entry), and physical dimensions (0.752" insulation height). The Rising Cage Clamp termination on the 1828634 is mechanically compatible with standard screw-based wiring practices.

Q: What is the significance of the 5450117's Obsolete status?

A: Obsolete classification indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 1828634's Active status ensures ongoing availability, making it the preferred selection for new designs and long-term system support.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge compatibility between these parts?

A: The 1828634 supports wire gauges from 0.14-1.5mm², while the 5450117 supports 0.2-1.5mm². For applications using wire gauges between 0.14-0.2mm², only the 1828634 is suitable. Both parts support the full 14-30 AWG range for standard industrial applications.

Q: How do the termination styles differ?

A: The 5450117 uses standard screw termination. The 1828634 uses Screw - Rising Cage Clamp termination with specified torque (0.22-0.25 Nm). Both are screw-based and mechanically compatible; the Rising Cage Clamp provides enhanced wire retention characteristics.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 5450117 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1828634 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5450117 is RoHS Compliant. The 1828634 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more current regulatory standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for new applications.
