Phoenix Contact 5452720 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5452720 is a 9-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) or 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.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5452720 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Must be 9 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Connector Type & Gender: Must be plug configuration with female sockets to maintain proper mating interface
• Mounting & Orientation: Must support free-hanging in-line mounting with 90° wire entry angle
• Electrical Ratings: Must meet or exceed 8A current capacity and 300V voltage rating (UL standard)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accept 14-30 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²) conductors
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination systems, including clamping yoke variants, are functionally equivalent for wire retention
• Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance and equivalent regulatory certifications

The Phoenix Contact 1800224 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1800224 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5452720. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000). The 1800224 is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (969 pcs vs. 737 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity. The clamping yoke termination variant in the 1800224 provides equivalent wire retention performance within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection of the 1800224 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility with existing mating connectors and system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1800224 directly replace the 5452720 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical position count (9), pitch (0.150"), connector type (plug with female sockets), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), wire entry angle (90°), electrical ratings (8A, 300V UL), and wire gauge compatibility (14-30 AWG). The clamping yoke termination in the 1800224 is functionally equivalent to the screw termination in the 5452720 for wire retention and electrical connection.

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

A: Both are screw-based termination methods. The clamping yoke variant uses a tension sleeve mechanism for wire retention, providing equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified current and voltage ratings. The functional outcome—secure wire connection and current carrying capacity—remains identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 5452720 and 1800224 are RoHS compliant with identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000). Moisture sensitivity level is equivalent (MSL 1 - Unlimited) for both components.

Q: Why is the 5452720 obsolete?

A: The 5452720 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1800224 from the COMBICON MCVR series represents the current production equivalent, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. The 5452720 and 1800224 are functionally identical regardless of packaging format (bulk vs. standard). Packaging does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or mating interface characteristics.
