Phoenix Contact 5452715 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5452715 is a 4-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for 90° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw termination, rated for 8A at 160V (IEC) and 300V (UL), and accommodates wire gauges from 14-30 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible connectivity solutions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5452715 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Connector Configuration: 4 positions, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, female socket type
Electrical Ratings: Minimum 8A current capacity (IEC), 160V voltage rating (IEC)
Mechanical Compatibility: 90° wire entry, free-hanging in-line mounting, M2 screw termination
Wire Compatibility: Support for 14-30 AWG wire gauge range
Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The Phoenix Contact 1896417 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Both components share identical pitch, position count, mounting orientation, electrical ratings, and wire gauge compatibility. The primary difference lies in the termination mechanism: the 5452715 uses standard screw termination, while the 1896417 employs a rising cage clamp screw system, which provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified parameter envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1896417 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5452715. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components meet or exceed the 8A (IEC) and 160V (IEC) ratings. The 1896417 maintains full compatibility with existing circuit requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (4), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and wire entry angle (90°) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing connector housings and PCB layouts.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000), supporting continued use in regulated applications.

Product Availability: The 1896417 is active in production with confirmed inventory (1073 pcs), whereas the 5452715 is obsolete. This availability differential makes the 1896417 the practical choice for new procurements and system maintenance.

Termination Mechanism Difference: The 1896417 uses rising cage clamp screw termination versus standard screw termination in the 5452715. Both mechanisms provide equivalent electrical performance and mechanical retention within the specified torque range (0.2-0.25 Nm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1896417 directly replace the 5452715 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (8A at 160V IEC), mechanical dimensions (4-position, 3.81mm pitch), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line, 90° wire entry), and wire gauge compatibility (14-30 AWG). The rising cage clamp termination in the 1896417 provides equivalent performance to the standard screw termination in the 5452715.

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

A: Both termination methods secure the wire using an M2 screw with equivalent torque specifications (0.2-0.25 Nm). The rising cage clamp design in the 1896417 provides an alternative clamping mechanism that maintains the same electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Q: Are there any wire gauge compatibility differences between these parts?

A: The 5452715 supports 0.2-1.5mm² wire gauge, while the 1896417 supports 0.14-1.5mm². The 1896417 accommodates a slightly wider lower range, making it compatible with all wire sizes supported by the 5452715.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5452715 was supplied with unspecified packaging (obsolete status), while the 1896417 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5452715 and 1896417 are RoHS compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000).

Q: Why is the 5452715 marked as obsolete?

A: The 5452715 belongs to the BCVP series, which has been superseded by the COMBICON MCVR series (represented by the 1896417). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.
