Phoenix Contact 0444048 Terminal Block Ground Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0444048 is a 2-position ground terminal block connector rated for 8-26 AWG wire gauges. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The CLIPLINE USLKG series connector features screw termination with polyamide insulation rated UL94 V-0 and is fully RoHS3 compliant. Due to its Last Time Buy status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system design and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0444048 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Number of positions: 2 (fixed requirement)
• Number of levels: 1 (fixed requirement)
• Connector type: Ground, Earth (functional requirement)
• Terminal width: 8.2 mm (mechanical compatibility)
• Termination style: Screw (installation method)
• Material insulation: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (material specification)
• Stripping length: 10 mm (preparation requirement)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge range must encompass or be compatible with 8-26 AWG
• Color designation: Green, Yellow (identification standard)
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0 minimum (safety compliance)
• RoHS3 compliance (regulatory requirement)

The Phoenix Contact 3044157 qualifies as a substitute part. While its wire gauge range is 8-24 AWG (narrower than the original 8-26 AWG specification), it maintains all primary substitution criteria including identical terminal width, screw termination, polyamide insulation, and UL94 V-0 rating. The 3044157 represents an active product in the CLIPLINE UT series, providing continuity for applications within the 8-24 AWG overlap range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044157 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 0444048. Selection of the 3044157 is appropriate for the following conditions:

When 3044157 is suitable:

• Applications requiring wire gauges within the 8-24 AWG range
• New designs where Last Time Buy status of 0444048 creates supply risk
• Systems requiring active product status and ongoing manufacturer support
• Installations where RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are specified requirements

Critical consideration: The 3044157 does not support 25-26 AWG wire gauges. Applications requiring termination of 25-26 AWG conductors must retain the 0444048 or identify alternative solutions outside the provided substitute list.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, terminal geometry, and electrical safety certifications. The transition from CLIPLINE USLKG series (0444048) to CLIPLINE UT series (3044157) represents a product line evolution within Phoenix Contact's ground terminal block portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044157 directly replace the 0444048 in all applications?

A: The 3044157 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for applications using wire gauges 8-24 AWG. Applications requiring 25-26 AWG termination capability must use the 0444048 or identify alternative components.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The 0444048 supports 8-26 AWG; the 3044157 supports 8-24 AWG. This represents a narrower upper limit. The 0.2-10 mm² metric range is identical for both parts. Verify your application's maximum wire gauge requirement before substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 8.2 mm terminal width, 10 mm stripping length, and 2-position, 1-level configuration. Mechanical mounting and installation procedures are identical.

Q: Why is the 0444048 Last Time Buy?

A: The 0444048 is discontinued. The 3044157 represents the active product replacement within Phoenix Contact's terminal block portfolio.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and feature polyamide insulation. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: What is the difference between CLIPLINE USLKG and CLIPLINE UT series?

A: These are different product series within Phoenix Contact's terminal block line. The CLIPLINE UT series (3044157) represents current production, while CLIPLINE USLKG (0444048) is discontinued.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The 0444048 is supplied in Bulk packaging; the 3044157 is supplied in Box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory processes.
