Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5451022 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), number of positions (8), and current/voltage ratings (12A minimum at 630V IEC)
Mechanical Compatibility: Matching plug orientation (90° wire entry), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG minimum)
Termination Interface: Screw-based termination with M3 screw size and equivalent torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm)
Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and polyamide housing construction
Connector Form Factor: Female socket configuration with tin contact mating finish

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1792304 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced product status (active) and improved termination technology (rising cage clamp).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792304 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5451022. Both components share identical electrical ratings (12A at 630V IEC), mechanical form factor (8-position, 5.08mm pitch, 90° free-hanging), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS compliance). The 1792304 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1792304 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology compared to the standard screw termination of the 5451022, while maintaining equivalent M3 screw torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm). The UL current rating increases from 12A to 15A on the substitute part, providing additional margin in UL-regulated applications. Both components maintain identical wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG) and insulation height (1.024").

Compliance certifications are equivalent: both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS 8536.90.4000 tariff coding. The 1792304 carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the original part, reflecting current regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1792304 directly replace 5451022 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (8), wire entry angle (90°), and electrical ratings (12A at 630V IEC). Mechanical mounting and screw termination specifications are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in free-hanging in-line applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1792304 uses rising cage clamp termination technology versus standard screw termination on the 5451022. Both employ M3 screws with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm). The 1792304 also provides higher UL current rating (15A versus 12A) and active product status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between 5451022 and 1792304?

A: The 5451022 is listed with no specified packaging, while the 1792304 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for terminal block connectivity.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant (5451022 carries RoHS Compliant status; 1792304 carries ROHS3 Compliant status), UL94 V-0 rated, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes. The 1792304 reflects current ROHS3 standards.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute part?

A: The 1792304 accepts identical wire gauge ranges as the 5451022: 12-30 AWG or 0.2-2.5mm². Wire strip length is 7mm for both components.

Q: Is the 1792304 suitable for both IEC and UL applications?

A: Yes. The 1792304 meets both IEC standards (12A at 630V) and UL standards (15A at 300V), matching or exceeding the ratings of the 5451022 (12A at 630V IEC; 12A at 300V UL).
