Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5531464 is determined by exact matching of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 10A
• Voltage Rating - AC: 250V
• Voltage Rating - DC: 80V
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail
• Actuator Type: Push to Reset
• Number of Poles: 2
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The Weidmüller 7940102285 meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical mounting requirements, and regulatory compliance status, enabling direct functional interchange in DIN rail-mounted control circuits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 5531464 and Weidmüller 7940102285 are active products with RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The Weidmüller part carries documented approvals from CSA, UL, and VDE standards bodies, providing additional certification documentation for applications requiring third-party validation. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and regional certification preferences for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 7940102285 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 5531464?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical current ratings (10A), voltage ratings (250V AC / 80V DC), thermal magnetic operation, DIN rail mounting, push-to-reset actuation, and two-pole configuration. Direct functional interchange is supported.

Q: What parameters must match for circuit breaker substitution?

A: Current rating, AC voltage rating, DC voltage rating, breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting type (DIN rail), actuator type (push to reset), and pole count must all match exactly. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a substitute.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The Phoenix Contact 5531464 has 634 pieces in stock, while the Weidmüller 7940102285 has 1051 pieces available. Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Q: Does the Weidmüller part have additional certifications?

A: The Weidmüller 7940102285 carries CSA C22.2 No 235, UL1077, and VDE approvals. These certifications may be required for specific regional or application-specific compliance requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 5531464 and Weidmüller 7940102285 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial control applications.
