Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5450560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings (IEC and UL standards)
• Physical Configuration: 4-position count, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 270° wire entry angle
• Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging (in-line) mounting, M3 screw termination, female socket type
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) conductor gauges
• Material & Safety: Polyamide housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1792540 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced features and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792540 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5450560 terminal block plug. Both components share identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 630V IEC, 300V UL), mechanical configuration (4-position, 5.00mm pitch, 270° entry), and wire compatibility specifications.

The 1792540 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Enhanced UL Current Rating: 15A UL rating exceeds the 12A requirement, providing operational margin
• Advanced Termination: Rising cage clamp technology improves wire retention and connection reliability
• Current Compliance: ROHS3 certification meets current regulatory requirements versus RoHS Compliant status of the obsolete part
• Superior Inventory: 6508 units in stock versus 747 units of the obsolete part

Both components are housed in identical Polyamide (PA) nylon material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support identical wire gauges (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²). The M3 screw termination and torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm) are identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing connector systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1792540 directly replace 5450560 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are 4-position terminal block plugs with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 270° wire entry, and identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 630V IEC). The M3 screw termination, wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG), and housing material are identical. The 1792540 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

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

A: The 5450560 uses standard screw termination. The 1792540 uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination, which provides enhanced wire retention and improved connection stability. Both operate at identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 5450560 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 1792540 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents the current regulatory standard. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical electrical safety specifications.

Q: Does the 1792540 support the same wire gauges as the 5450560?

A: Yes. Both components support 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauges with identical 7mm wire strip length specifications.

Q: Why is the 1792540 listed as having higher UL current rating (15A vs 12A)?

A: The 1792540 is rated for 15A under UL standards, which exceeds the 12A IEC rating of both components. This represents an enhanced capability of the substitute part and does not affect compatibility. The IEC rating of 12A remains identical for both parts.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5450560 is listed with no specified packaging designation. The 1792540 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is the 1792540 actively manufactured?

A: Yes. The 1792540 is classified as active product status with 6508 units in current inventory. The 5450560 is obsolete with limited remaining stock (747 units). For new designs and long-term supply assurance, the 1792540 is the recommended selection.
