Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5451514 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 15-position plug with female sockets
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) center-to-center spacing
• Wire Entry Orientation: 270° free-hanging in-line configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 12A current capacity (IEC) and 630V voltage rating (IEC)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) conductors
• Termination Method: Screw-based wire termination
• Compliance & Material Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, polyamide housing

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1792883 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced features and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1792883 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5451514 and is the appropriate substitute for this obsolete component. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical IEC electrical ratings (12A at 630V) and support the same wire gauge range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²). The 1792883 provides enhanced UL current rating (15A versus 12A), offering additional margin in UL-regulated applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.08mm), connector configuration (15-position female sockets), wire entry orientation (270°), and mounting type (free-hanging in-line) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Compliance & Standards: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. Identical M3 screw specifications and torque requirements (0.5-0.6 Nm) ensure consistent installation procedures.

Product Lifecycle: The 1792883 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 5451514's obsolete classification necessitates transition to this substitute for new designs and ongoing maintenance applications.

Enhanced Features: The 1792883 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology and retention latches on the non-wire side, providing improved wire retention and connection reliability compared to the standard screw termination of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1792883 directly replace the 5451514 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 1792883 is mechanically and electrically equivalent. It maintains identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (15), wire entry angle (270°), and electrical ratings (12A IEC / 630V IEC). Existing mating connectors and wiring will interface without modification.

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

A: The 5451514 uses standard screw termination. The 1792883 uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination, which provides enhanced wire retention and reduced risk of wire displacement during operation. Both accept the same wire gauge range (12-30 AWG) and require identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Q: Are there any voltage or current limitations when substituting?

A: No. The 1792883 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the 5451514. IEC ratings are identical (12A / 630V). The 1792883 provides higher UL current rating (15A versus 12A), making it suitable for all applications where the original part was specified.

Q: Does the 1792883 require different installation procedures?

A: No. Both parts use M3 screws with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm / 4.4-5.3 Lb-In). Wire strip length is identical (7mm). Installation procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5451514 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1792883 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the 5451514 classified as obsolete?

A: The 5451514 belongs to the BCVP series, which has been superseded by the COMBICON MVSTBW series (represented by the 1792883). Phoenix Contact has transitioned product lines to newer designs offering enhanced features and improved reliability.

Q: Is the 1792883 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1792883 is RoHS compliant and meets all environmental and material composition standards equivalent to the original 5451514.
