Phoenix Contact 5450120 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5450120 is a 2-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, and 90° free-hanging (in-line) configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The BCVP series plug accepts 12-30 AWG wire (0.2-2.5mm²) and operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) with 630V (IEC) / 300V (UL) ratings. Screw termination with M3 fasteners and UL94 V-0 flammability rating provide robust electrical and mechanical performance in industrial applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5450120 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 2-position plug with female sockets, 90° wire entry, free-hanging mounting
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating receptacles
• Electrical Ratings: Current capacity (IEC/UL) and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination with M3 fasteners and matching torque specifications
• Wire Acceptance: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauge range
• Material & Compliance: Polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1792016 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, wire entry angle, and wire gauge specifications. The 1792016 is an active product in the COMBICON MVSTBR series, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete 5450120.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792016 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 5450120 terminal block plug. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1792016 is an active product in current production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 5450120 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Electrical Equivalence: Both components meet identical IEC electrical ratings (12A, 630V). The 1792016 exceeds UL current rating (15A vs. 12A), providing additional margin without compromising application compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.00mm), wire entry angle (90°), mounting configuration (free-hanging), and screw specifications (M3, 0.5-0.6 Nm torque) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability with existing mating receptacles and installation procedures.

Compliance & Standards: Both components feature UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The 1792016 meets ROHS3 (current standard), while the 5450120 meets RoHS (legacy standard). The 1792016 includes REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity.

Termination Enhancement: The 1792016 incorporates rising cage clamp termination, an advancement over standard screw termination that improves wire retention and connection reliability while maintaining identical torque specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792016 directly replace the 5450120 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch (5.00mm), wire entry angle (90°), and electrical ratings (IEC: 12A/630V). The 1792016 mounts identically and accepts the same wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.2-2.5mm²). No modifications to mating receptacles, wiring, or installation procedures are required.

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

A: The 5450120 uses standard screw termination. The 1792016 uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination, which provides enhanced wire retention and connection security. Both maintain identical M3 screw size and 0.5-0.6 Nm torque specifications, ensuring compatibility with existing installation tools and procedures.

Q: Does the 1792016 meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The 1792016 is ROHS3 compliant (current standard) and REACH Unaffected. The 5450120 meets legacy RoHS compliance. Both components feature UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 1792016 provides compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components meet identical IEC ratings (12A, 630V). The 1792016 exceeds the UL current rating (15A vs. 12A), providing additional electrical margin. This enhancement does not affect compatibility and supports higher-current applications within the same mechanical form factor.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for the 1792016?

A: The 1792016 accepts 12-30 AWG wire (0.2-2.5mm²), identical to the 5450120. Wire strip length is 7mm for both components. Screw torque specifications remain 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In).

Q: Is the 1792016 available in the same packaging as the 5450120?

A: The 1792016 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5450120 packaging specification is not provided. Both are available as new original stock from Phoenix Contact. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
