Phoenix Contact 0443036 Terminal Block Ground Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0443036 is a 2-position ground terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 4-22 AWG (2.5-25mm²). This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The CLIPLINE USLKG series connector features screw termination with a rated current of 76 A per IEC standards and is constructed from polyamide (PA) nylon material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Due to its Last Time Buy status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute components is essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3044212 qualifies as a substitute for the 0443036 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Category: Terminal Blocks (identical component class)
• Type: Ground, Earth (same functional purpose)
• Number of Positions: 2 (identical connector configuration)
• Number of Levels: 1 (identical stacking capability)
• Terminal Width: 12.2mm (identical physical interface)
• Termination Style: Screw (identical connection method)
• Current Rating (IEC): 76 A (identical electrical capacity)
• Material - Insulation: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (identical material composition)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (identical safety rating)
• Color: Green, Yellow (identical color coding)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent regulatory compliance)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (equivalent regulatory compliance)

Allowable Variation:

• Wire Gauge Range: The 3044212 accepts 4-16 AWG (1.5-25mm²), which represents a subset of the 0443036 range (4-22 AWG / 2.5-25mm²). This substitution is valid for applications using wire gauges within the 4-16 AWG range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044212 is suitable as a substitute for the 0443036 under the following conditions:

1. Wire Gauge Compatibility: The application must use wire gauges within the 4-16 AWG range (1.5-25mm²). Applications requiring wire gauges 18-22 AWG cannot use the 3044212 substitute.

2. Production Status: The 3044212 is in Active production status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 0443036.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Both components meet ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance for applications subject to these standards.

4. Electrical Performance: Both components maintain identical current ratings (76 A IEC) and material specifications (UL94 V-0 polyamide nylon), ensuring equivalent electrical and thermal performance.

5. Physical Interface: Identical terminal width (12.2mm) and screw termination style ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mounting and connection infrastructure.

6. Wire Preparation: The stripping length differs between components (11mm for 0443036 versus 14mm for 3044212). Wire preparation procedures must be adjusted accordingly during assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044212 substitute for the 0443036 in all applications?

A: No. The 3044212 accepts wire gauges 4-16 AWG, while the 0443036 accepts 4-22 AWG. Substitution is valid only for applications using wire gauges within the 4-16 AWG range. Applications requiring 18-22 AWG wire connections must use the original 0443036 or identify alternative substitutes that support this wire gauge range.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (CLIPLINE USLKG vs. CLIPLINE UT)?

A: The series designation indicates different product lines within the Phoenix Contact terminal block portfolio. Both series share identical electrical ratings, material specifications, and physical interfaces relevant to this ground connector application. The series difference reflects product line evolution rather than functional incompatibility.

Q: Are there any assembly procedure changes required when switching from 0443036 to 3044212?

A: Yes. The stripping length specification differs: 0443036 requires 11mm stripping length, while 3044212 requires 14mm. Wire preparation procedures must be updated to reflect this difference during assembly and installation.

Q: Does the 3044212 meet the same regulatory and compliance standards as the 0443036?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, ensuring equivalent compliance with applicable environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these components?

A: The 0443036 is Last Time Buy status with 801 pieces in stock, indicating discontinued production. The 3044212 is Active status with 1717 pieces in stock, indicating ongoing production and superior long-term availability.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical between these components?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical current ratings (76 A per IEC standards), identical material composition (polyamide nylon), and identical flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), ensuring equivalent electrical and thermal performance within their respective wire gauge ranges.
