Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5452957 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Plug with female sockets, 7-position, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
• Electrical Ratings: Current capacity of 12A minimum and voltage rating of 250V or higher (IEC)
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauges
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination
• Mounting Orientation: 270° free-hanging in-line configuration
• Physical Compatibility: Matching insulation height and mating flange design
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and equivalent certifications

The Phoenix Contact 1763782 meets these substitution criteria as an active-status alternative within the COMBICON MVSTBW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1763782 qualifies as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 5452957 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components maintain identical pitch spacing, position count, wire gauge compatibility, and current capacity. The substitute part operates at a reduced IEC voltage rating of 250V compared to the original 320V specification; applications operating below 250V are fully compatible.

The 1763782 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000). The substitute employs a rising cage clamp termination mechanism in place of standard screw termination, providing enhanced wire retention characteristics while maintaining mechanical and electrical equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1763782 directly replace the 5452957 in existing installations?

A: Yes, provided the application voltage requirement does not exceed 250V IEC. Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (7), wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG), and current rating (12A). Physical dimensions and mating flange designs are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 320V and 250V?

A: The 5452957 supports IEC operation at 320V, while the 1763782 is rated to 250V IEC. For applications operating at or below 250V, this difference is not a limiting factor. Applications requiring operation above 250V must retain the original 5452957 or identify alternative substitutes rated for higher voltages.

Q: How does the rising cage clamp termination differ from standard screw termination?

A: Both termination methods are screw-based and functionally equivalent for wire retention and electrical connection. The rising cage clamp design in the 1763782 provides additional mechanical security during wire insertion and removal cycles. Wire gauge compatibility and torque specifications remain within the same operational envelope.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5452957 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1763782 is available in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional or electrical characteristics.

Q: What certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the 5452957 and 1763782 are RoHS compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000). Moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.
