Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1834987 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5451695 for applications requiring 10-position, 5.08mm pitch terminal block plugs with 270° wire entry and free-hanging mounting.

Compatibility Basis:

• Identical mechanical envelope and mounting interface
• Equivalent electrical ratings under IEC standards (12A, 630V)
• Enhanced UL current rating (15A vs. 12A) provides additional margin
• Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements
• Both maintain RoHS compliance (1834987 certified to ROHS3)

Status Advantage: The 1834987 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 5451695 obsolete classification limits future sourcing options.

Termination Consideration: The 1834987 employs rising cage clamp termination versus standard screw termination on the 5451695. Both termination methods are screw-actuated and compatible with identical wire gauge ranges (12-30 AWG). Rising cage clamp design provides enhanced wire retention and simplified installation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1834987 be used as a direct replacement for the 5451695 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, mounting type, and wire entry angle. Electrical ratings are equivalent under IEC standards. Physical interchangeability is confirmed.

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

A: Both are screw-actuated termination methods. Rising cage clamp design (1834987) provides automatic wire retention and simplified insertion procedures. Standard screw termination (5451695) requires manual wire positioning. Both accept identical wire gauges (12-30 AWG).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The 1834987 carries ROHS3 certification versus RoHS compliance on the 5451695. ROHS3 represents current regulatory compliance. Both are suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components.

Q: Does the higher UL current rating of the 1834987 (15A vs. 12A) affect compatibility?

A: No. Higher current ratings indicate enhanced capability and do not affect compatibility. Applications designed for 12A operation remain fully compatible with the 1834987.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 5451695 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1834987 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component-level integration into assemblies.

Q: Why is the 5451695 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete classification indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The 1834987 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring ongoing availability and technical support for new designs and maintenance applications.
