Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Part 1800256 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• 11-position configuration with identical pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Female socket plug type with 270° wire entry orientation
• Free-hanging in-line mounting configuration
• Identical electrical ratings: 8A (IEC/UL), 160V (IEC), 300V (UL)
• Matching insulation height (0.752" / 19.10mm)
• Identical RoHS compliance and MSL rating
• Compatible wire gauge range with extended lower limit (0.14mm² vs. 0.2mm²)

The primary distinction is termination style: the original part uses standard screw termination, while the substitute employs screw clamping yoke (tension sleeve) termination. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1800256 is the appropriate substitute for 5452596 based on product lifecycle status. The original part is obsolete, while the substitute maintains active product status from the same manufacturer. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications (8A/160V IEC, 8A/300V UL) and mechanical requirements (11-position, 4.60mm pitch, 270° entry, free-hanging configuration).

The termination method difference (standard screw vs. clamping yoke) does not affect substitution eligibility within the specified parameter constraints. The substitute's extended wire gauge compatibility (0.14mm² minimum vs. 0.2mm²) provides additional flexibility for smaller conductor applications.

Both components carry RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency. Selection of part 1800256 ensures continued availability and manufacturer support for this terminal block function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1800256 directly replace 5452596 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A/160V IEC, 8A/300V UL), mechanical configuration (11-position, 4.60mm pitch, 270° entry), and physical dimensions (0.752" insulation height). The termination method difference does not prevent direct substitution within the specified parameter envelope.

Q: What is the difference between screw termination and screw clamping yoke termination?

A: Both termination methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical performance. Standard screw termination uses a simple screw mechanism, while clamping yoke (tension sleeve) termination employs a spring-loaded clamping mechanism. The choice depends on application-specific assembly procedures and tooling requirements.

Q: Does the extended wire gauge range of part 1800256 affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute part accepts wire gauges from 0.14-1.5mm² (14-30 AWG), which encompasses the original part's 0.2-1.5mm² range. This extended compatibility provides additional flexibility for smaller conductor applications without affecting existing designs using the original specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 5452596 and 1800256 are RoHS compliant with identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: Part 5452596 (obsolete) has 724 pieces in stock. Part 1800256 (active) has 729 pieces in stock. The active status of part 1800256 ensures continued availability and manufacturer support.
