Phoenix Contact 5452882 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5452882 is a 4-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

The BCVP series plug accommodates wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) with screw termination and supports IEC ratings of 12A at 320V and UL ratings of 12A at 300V.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5452882 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Matching or exceeding current and voltage ratings (IEC and UL standards)
• Physical Configuration: Identical number of positions (4), pitch (5.08mm), and wire entry angle (270°)
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing installations
• Wire Gauge Acceptance: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire range
• Mounting Style: Free-hanging in-line orientation for direct replacement
• Connector Type: Female socket configuration for plug-to-receptacle mating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1836901 meets all these criteria while offering enhanced electrical ratings and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1836901 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5452882. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical core specifications: 4-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, 270° wire entry, and M3 screw termination with matching torque specifications.

The 1836901 offers superior electrical performance with IEC voltage rating of 630V (versus 320V) and UL current rating of 15A (versus 12A), providing enhanced margin for applications operating near rated limits. The rising cage clamp termination mechanism in the 1836901 represents a design evolution while maintaining backward compatibility with standard screw-based installation procedures.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG). The 1836901 carries active product status with current manufacturing support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the 5452882.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1836901 directly replace the 5452882 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions, pitch spacing (5.08mm), wire entry orientation (270°), and screw termination specifications (M3, 0.5-0.6 Nm). The 1836901 accommodates the same wire gauge range (12-30 AWG) and maintains compatible mating with standard receptacles.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and electrical ratings. The 5452882 is obsolete; the 1836901 is active. The 1836901 provides higher IEC voltage rating (630V vs. 320V) and UL current rating (15A vs. 12A). The 1836901 incorporates rising cage clamp termination technology versus standard screw termination in the 5452882.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1836901 carries ROHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, representing current regulatory alignment. The 5452882 holds RoHS Compliant status consistent with its obsolete classification.

Q: Does the rising cage clamp termination in the 1836901 affect installation procedures?

A: No. The rising cage clamp mechanism operates within the same M3 screw interface and torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm). Installation procedures remain identical to the 5452882.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 5452882 is supplied without specified packaging; the 1836901 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available in current inventory quantities suitable for production and replacement applications.
