Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 5452755 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position count and pitch geometry must remain identical: 6 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Electrical ratings must meet or exceed the original specifications: Current capacity of 12A and voltage ratings (320V IEC / 300V UL) establish the minimum performance threshold.

Wire entry orientation and termination method must match: 90° free-hanging in-line configuration with screw termination ensures installation compatibility.

Wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²) and screw specifications (M3, 0.5-0.6 Nm torque) must be preserved for proper conductor retention and electrical contact.

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1736506 satisfies all these criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1736506 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5452755. Both components share identical mechanical geometry, position count, pitch, wire entry orientation, and wire gauge specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing applications.

The 1736506 offers enhanced electrical performance with IEC voltage rating of 630V compared to the original 320V, providing additional safety margin in high-voltage applications. The rising cage clamp termination method in the 1736506 represents a design evolution while maintaining the same screw-based connection principle and torque specifications.

Compliance status favors the 1736506: it carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The original 5452755, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain risk and should be replaced in new designs and system upgrades.

Both components maintain identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and are suitable for equivalent environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1736506 replace the 5452755 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are mechanically and electrically compatible. They share identical position count (6), pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), wire entry angle (90°), wire gauge range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²), screw specifications (M3, 0.5-0.6 Nm), and insulation height (1.024" / 26.01mm). The 1736506 meets or exceeds all electrical requirements of the original part.

Q: What is the difference in termination style between these parts?

A: The 5452755 uses standard screw termination. The 1736506 uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination, which is a design enhancement that maintains the same connection principle and torque specifications while improving conductor retention reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5452755 is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The 1736506 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component-level integration; packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of the 1736506 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 1736506 operates at 630V IEC compared to the original 320V IEC. Higher voltage rating indicates enhanced insulation and dielectric strength, making it suitable for all applications where the original 5452755 was used. It is not a limitation but an improvement.

Q: What is the product status significance?

A: The 5452755 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 1736506 is active, ensuring reliable supply, ongoing manufacturer support, and compliance with current regulatory standards. For new designs and long-term system maintenance, the 1736506 is the recommended choice.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5452755 is RoHS Compliant. The 1736506 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing compliance with the most current RoHS directive revision. Both meet environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
