Phoenix Contact 5451417 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5451417 is a 5-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

The BCVP series plug accommodates wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) with screw termination and supports IEC ratings of 12A at 630V. The obsolete status necessitates evaluation of active alternative models that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5451417 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: IEC current rating (12A minimum), IEC voltage rating (630V minimum), and UL ratings must be maintained or exceeded
Mechanical Compatibility: 5-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 270° wire entry angle, and free-hanging in-line mounting must be identical
Termination Interface: Screw termination with M3 screw size and 0.5-0.6 Nm torque specification
Wire Accommodation: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauge range
Material and Safety: Polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Phoenix Contact 1792786 satisfies all substitution criteria as an active product with equivalent mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and termination specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792786 (COMBICON MVSTBW series) is the direct substitute for the obsolete 5451417. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components maintain identical IEC ratings (12A at 630V). The 1792786 provides enhanced UL current rating (15A versus 12A), representing a performance improvement without introducing incompatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (5), wire entry angle (270°), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line) ensure direct mechanical interchange without redesign.

Termination Compatibility: Both components use M3 screw termination with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm), supporting the same wire gauge range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²).

Compliance Status: The 1792786 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and upgrades to ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. The active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Additional Feature: The 1792786 includes retention latches on the non-wire side, providing enhanced mechanical security during mating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792786 directly replace the 5451417 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1792786 maintains identical electrical ratings (IEC 12A/630V), mechanical dimensions (5-position, 5.08mm pitch, 270° entry), and termination specifications (M3 screw, 0.5-0.6 Nm torque). No circuit modifications or connector redesign is required.

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

A: The 5451417 is obsolete; the 1792786 is an active product. The 1792786 features retention latches for improved mechanical stability and carries ROHS3 certification. UL current rating is enhanced to 15A on the 1792786 versus 12A on the 5451417.

Q: Are the wire gauge specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components accommodate 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauges with identical screw torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Q: Does the 1792786 require different mounting hardware or installation procedures?

A: No. Free-hanging in-line mounting configuration is identical. M3 screw termination and torque specifications remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the retention latches on the 1792786?

A: Retention latches on the non-wire side provide mechanical locking during mating, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. This is a functional enhancement that does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5451417 is RoHS Compliant; the 1792786 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing an upgrade to current regulatory standards.
