Phoenix Contact 0449014 Terminal Block Ground Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0449014 is a 2-position ground terminal block connector rated for 1/0-18 AWG wire gauges with a maximum current capacity of 150 A (IEC). This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production. The CLIPLINE USLKG series connector features screw termination, polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and is fully RoHS compliant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to product discontinuation and to ensure continued availability for maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 0449014 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain compatible:

• Functional Type: Ground/Earth terminal block connector with 2 positions and 1 level
• Termination Method: Screw termination
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Color Coding: Green and Yellow earth ground identification
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable overlap within the wire gauge range (AWG and mm²)
• Current Capacity: Minimum 125 A (IEC) for safe operation in ground applications
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and equivalent certifications

The Phoenix Contact 3044241 qualifies as a substitute part. Although it operates in a narrower wire gauge range (2-14 AWG versus 1/0-18 AWG) and has a slightly lower current rating (125 A versus 150 A), it maintains functional equivalence for applications within its specified parameters. The 3044241 belongs to the CLIPLINE UT series and is currently in Active production status, providing long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044241 is the designated substitute for the discontinued 0449014. Selection of the 3044241 is supported by the following engineering criteria:

• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance (3044241 meets ROHS3 standard, exceeding the original RoHS requirement).
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts are 2-position, single-level ground terminal blocks with screw termination and identical insulation material and color coding.
• Production Status: The 3044241 is in Active production status, ensuring long-term supply availability and support, whereas the 0449014 is Last Time Buy.
• Application Scope: The 3044241 is suitable for applications requiring wire gauges within the 2-14 AWG range (1.5-35 mm²) and current loads up to 125 A (IEC). Applications requiring the full 1/0-18 AWG range or 150 A capacity of the original part may require alternative solutions outside this substitute group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3044241 directly replace the 0449014 in all applications?

A: The 3044241 is functionally equivalent for applications within its specified parameters. It supports wire gauges from 2-14 AWG (1.5-35 mm²) and a current rating of 125 A (IEC). Applications requiring larger wire gauges (1/0 AWG) or the full 150 A capacity of the original part require evaluation against the 3044241 specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are wire gauge range, current capacity, and production status. The 0449014 supports 1/0-18 AWG at 150 A and is discontinued (Last Time Buy). The 3044241 supports 2-14 AWG at 125 A and is in Active production. Both maintain identical insulation material, flammability rating, color coding, and termination method.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues when substituting the 3044241 for the 0449014?

A: The terminal width differs slightly (15.2 mm versus 16.0 mm) and the stripping length is longer on the 3044241 (18 mm versus 15 mm). These dimensional differences are within normal manufacturing tolerances for terminal block connectors and do not prevent mechanical compatibility in standard mounting applications.

Q: Does the 3044241 meet the same regulatory standards as the 0449014?

A: Yes. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance. The 3044241 meets the more recent ROHS3 standard, which supersedes the original RoHS requirement, providing equivalent or enhanced regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The Phoenix Contact 3044241 has 1,979 pieces in stock as new original inventory, ensuring immediate availability for procurement and deployment.
