Phoenix Contact 0270018 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0270018 is a feed-through terminal block connector designed for 12-28 AWG wire gauges with a 3-position configuration. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The CLIPLINE USK series provides screw and tab termination with IEC ratings of 32 A at 800V and UL ratings of 20 A at 600V. Due to its Last Time Buy status, identifying compatible substitute parts is essential for ongoing system design and procurement planning.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0270018 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility: 12-28 AWG (0.2-4 mm²)
Termination style: Screw and Tab
Terminal width: 6.2 mm
Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
Flammability rating: UL94 V-2
Stripping length: 9 mm
Feed-through configuration

Electrical Performance Parameters:

Current rating (IEC): 32 A minimum
Voltage rating (IEC): 800V minimum
Current rating (UL): 20 A minimum
Voltage rating (UL): 600V minimum

Compliance Parameters:

RoHS compliance required
MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2017237 maintains compatibility across all mandatory matching parameters and electrical performance specifications. The primary difference is the number of positions (5 versus 3), which does not affect substitution eligibility when the application requires additional connection points or when the 5-position variant can be configured for 3-position use.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2017237 is a valid substitute for the 0270018 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The 2017237 maintains IEC compliance at 32 A / 800V and exceeds UL current requirements at 25 A. The UL voltage rating of the 2017237 is 250V, which is lower than the 0270018's 600V UL rating; applications requiring 600V UL compliance should evaluate this difference against specific system requirements.

The 2017237 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 0270018. Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements, with the 2017237 certified to ROHS3 standards. The 5-position configuration of the 2017237 provides design flexibility for applications requiring additional connection points or future expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-position 2017237 directly replace the 3-position 0270018?

A: Yes, the 2017237 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. The additional 2 positions do not prevent use in applications designed for 3-position blocks. Physical mounting and PCB layout compatibility must be verified for your specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the UL voltage rating difference between these parts?

A: The 0270018 is rated 600V UL, while the 2017237 is rated 250V UL. Applications operating at voltages between 250V and 600V must confirm that the 2017237 meets system voltage requirements before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 0270018 is RoHS Compliant, and the 2017237 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by both parts?

A: Both the 0270018 and 2017237 support 12-28 AWG wire gauges (0.2-4 mm²) with identical 9 mm stripping length specifications.

Q: Why is the 0270018 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the 0270018 is no longer in active production. The Phoenix Contact 2017237 is an Active product, making it the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are the termination styles identical?

A: Yes, both parts use Screw and Tab termination styles with 6.2 mm terminal width and identical insulation materials (Polyamide/Nylon, UL94 V-2).
