Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1835106 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5451200 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical IEC electrical ratings (12A at 630V), ensuring direct functional equivalence in existing circuit designs. The 1835106 provides enhanced UL current capacity (15A versus 12A), offering improved performance margin in North American applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (3), wire entry angle (90°), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability without enclosure or harness modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support identical wire gauge ranges (12-30 AWG). The 1835106 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental regulations. The 5451200 maintains RoHS compliance suitable for legacy system maintenance.

Termination Enhancement: The 1835106 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology versus standard screw termination in the 5451200, providing improved contact reliability and reduced installation variability while maintaining M3 screw specifications and identical torque requirements (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Product Lifecycle: The 1835106 active product status ensures long-term availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 5451200.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1835106 directly replace the 5451200 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector pitch (5.08mm), position count (3), wire entry orientation (90°), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and IEC electrical ratings (12A, 630V). No enclosure, harness, or circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

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

A: The 5451200 uses standard screw termination where wire insertion and retention depend on manual screw tightening. The 1835106 uses rising cage clamp technology, which provides automatic wire retention and reduced installation sensitivity. Both methods support identical wire gauge ranges (12-30 AWG) and M3 screw specifications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Under IEC standards, both parts are rated identically at 12A and 630V. Under UL standards, the 1835106 provides higher current capacity (15A versus 12A), offering improved performance margin for North American applications while maintaining 300V voltage rating.

Q: Does the 1835106 require different wire preparation or installation procedures?

A: Wire gauge compatibility remains identical (12-30 AWG, 0.2-2.5mm²), and wire strip length is 7mm for both parts. Screw torque specifications are identical (0.5-0.6 Nm). The rising cage clamp design may reduce installation time but does not require procedural changes.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5451200 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1835106 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available in new original condition with comparable inventory levels.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5451200 is RoHS Compliant. The 1835106 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental standards. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
