Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5452732 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (12A minimum), voltage rating (320V IEC minimum), and wire gauge acceptance (0.2-2.5mm²)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 6-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, 90° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Compatibility: Screw-based termination with M3 screw size and matching torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm)
• Physical Compatibility: Insulation height of 1.024" (26.01mm), wire strip length of 7mm, and female socket configuration
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating of 1

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1740615 meets all critical parameters within the allowed tolerance range for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1740615 is the direct equivalent for applications currently using the obsolete 5452732. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry MSL rating 1, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and storage requirements.

The primary consideration for selection is voltage rating: the 1740615 is rated for 250V (IEC) compared to the 5452732's 320V (IEC). For applications operating at or below 250V, the 1740615 provides full functional equivalence. For applications requiring operation above 250V and up to 320V, the original 5452732 specification must be maintained if available from inventory or alternative sources.

The 1740615 employs a rising cage clamp termination mechanism within the screw-based design, which represents a design enhancement over the standard screw termination of the 5452732. This feature does not affect compatibility but may provide improved wire retention characteristics in the substitute part.

Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing, wire gauge acceptance, and torque specifications, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the voltage constraints noted above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1740615 be used as a direct replacement for 5452732 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating at 250V (IEC) or below. For applications requiring 320V operation, the voltage rating difference must be evaluated against actual system requirements. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible at the 12A current rating and 0.2-2.5mm² wire gauge range.

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

A: Both termination methods are screw-based and use identical M3 screws with 0.5-0.6 Nm torque specification. The rising cage clamp design in the 1740615 provides an enhanced wire retention mechanism. This does not affect compatibility or interchangeability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between 5452732 and 1740615?

A: Yes. Both components have identical insulation height (1.024" / 26.01mm), wire strip length (7mm), pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line). They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What wire gauges are acceptable for both parts?

A: Both the 5452732 and 1740615 accept wire gauges from 12-30 AWG or 0.2-2.5mm². Wire termination torque is identical at 0.5-0.6 Nm for both components.

Q: Why is the 5452732 listed as obsolete?

A: The 5452732 belongs to the BCVP series, which has been superseded by the COMBICON MVSTBR series (represented by part 1740615). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5452732 and 1740615 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The 5452732 has 786 pieces in stock (new original). The 1740615 has 789 pieces in stock (new original, bulk packaging). Both are available for immediate procurement.
