Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5450191 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (12A IEC, 630V IEC minimum)
• Physical compatibility: 9 positions, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 90° wire entry, and free hanging mounting must be maintained
• Termination method: Screw-based termination is required for mechanical and electrical consistency
• Wire gauge acceptance: 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) range must be supported
• Housing material and flammability: Polyamide (PA) construction with UL94 V-0 rating ensures thermal and safety compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1792087 (COMBICON MVSTBR series) meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical positional, pitch, and mounting specifications while offering enhanced UL current rating (15A vs. 12A) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792087 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5450191. Selection of the 1792087 is supported by the following engineering factors:

• Active product status: The 1792087 is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and equivalent electrical safety certifications (IEC and UL)
• Enhanced specifications: The 1792087 provides improved UL current rating (15A vs. 12A), offering additional design margin without compromising compatibility
• Identical mechanical interface: Pitch, position count, wire entry angle, and mounting configuration are unchanged, ensuring direct replacement in existing assemblies
• Termination compatibility: Rising cage clamp termination in the 1792087 provides equivalent screw-based connection reliability with enhanced wire retention

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792087 directly replace the 5450191 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 1792087 maintains identical electrical ratings (12A at 630V IEC), physical dimensions, pitch (5.00mm), wire entry angle (90°), and mounting configuration. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported.

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

A: Both termination methods provide screw-based wire connection. Rising cage clamp termination in the 1792087 incorporates an enhanced wire retention mechanism that maintains consistent contact pressure during thermal cycling and vibration exposure. This represents an improvement over standard screw termination without affecting compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 5450191 and 1792087?

A: The 5450191 was supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The 1792087 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are identical in form, fit, and function. Packaging selection should be based on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Does the 1792087 support the same wire gauge range as the 5450191?

A: Yes. Both parts accept 12-30 AWG wire (0.2-2.5mm²) and require identical wire strip length (7mm) and screw torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance on the 1792087 versus RoHS compliance on the 5450191?

A: ROHS3 represents current RoHS Directive compliance (2011/65/EU as amended). Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions. The 1792087 reflects current regulatory status, while the 5450191 reflects historical compliance documentation. Both are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there any application limitations when substituting the 1792087 for the 5450191?

A: No application limitations exist. The 1792087 meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical specifications of the 5450191. The enhanced UL current rating (15A) provides additional design margin for applications operating at maximum current levels.
