Phoenix Contact 5452880 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5452880 is a 2-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for 270° free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), accommodating wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) with screw termination and M3 fasteners.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5452880 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Both the main part and substitute must maintain 2 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.

Connector Type & Orientation: The plug configuration with female sockets and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting must be preserved to maintain form factor compatibility.

Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specifications (12A IEC, 320V IEC minimum).

Termination & Wire Compatibility: Screw termination with M3 fasteners and support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauges ensures direct replacement capability.

Compliance & Material Standards: RoHS compliance and tin contact mating finish must be maintained for regulatory and performance consistency.

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1783287 satisfies all critical substitution criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced termination technology (rising cage clamp).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1783287

The 1783287 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5452880. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, wire entry orientation, current rating, wire gauge compatibility, and screw termination specifications.

The 1783287 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The rising cage clamp termination technology represents an enhancement over standard screw termination, providing improved wire retention and reduced installation variability.

The voltage rating differential (250V IEC for 1783287 versus 320V IEC for 5452880) must be evaluated against system requirements. For applications operating at or below 250V IEC, the 1783287 provides direct substitution. For systems requiring 320V IEC operation, voltage compatibility must be confirmed with the system designer.

Both components maintain RoHS compliance and identical tin contact mating finish, ensuring regulatory and performance consistency in replacement scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1783287 directly replace the 5452880 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters: 2-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, 270° free-hanging orientation, 12A current rating, 12-30 AWG wire gauge support, M3 screw termination, and tin contact finish. The primary consideration is voltage rating: the 1783287 is rated for 250V IEC versus the original 320V IEC. Substitution is valid for applications operating at or below 250V IEC.

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

A: Both termination methods use M3 fasteners with identical torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm). Rising cage clamp termination provides enhanced wire retention through a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically adjusts to wire diameter within the specified range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²). Standard screw termination requires manual adjustment for optimal contact pressure.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 5452880 and 1783287?

A: The 5452880 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1783287 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are identical in form factor and electrical specifications. Packaging selection should be based on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Why is the 5452880 classified as obsolete?

A: The 5452880 (BCVP series) has been superseded by the 1783287 (COMBICON MVSTBW series) within Phoenix Contact's product portfolio. The newer series offers enhanced termination technology and active manufacturing status. Existing inventory of the 5452880 remains available, but new designs should specify the 1783287 for long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 5452880 and 1783287 are RoHS compliant with tin contact mating finish and identical material specifications.
