Phoenix Contact 0701082 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0701082 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector rated for 6-24 AWG wire gauges, with screw termination and gray polyamide insulation. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

The primary reason for identifying substitutes is the obsolete product status, which limits availability for future procurement and system repairs. Active equivalent models provide continuity of supply while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0701082 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position and Level Configuration: The substitute must maintain 2 positions and 1 level to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mounting and wiring schemes.

Terminal Geometry: Terminal width of 10.2mm is a fixed mechanical constraint that must be preserved for proper fit within enclosures and connection systems.

Termination Method: Screw termination is required to maintain compatibility with existing installation practices and tooling.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute must accommodate the wire gauge range of the original part. The 0701082 accepts 6-24 AWG (0.5-16mm²). Substitutes with equal or broader wire gauge ranges are acceptable; narrower ranges may limit application scope.

Electrical Ratings: Substitutes must meet or exceed the voltage and current ratings of the original part under both IEC and UL standards to ensure safe operation in the intended application.

Insulation and Compliance: Polyamide insulation material and RoHS compliance are baseline requirements. Enhanced flammability ratings (UL94 V-0 versus V-2) represent an improvement and do not restrict substitution.

Series Compatibility: The original part belongs to the CLIPLINE URK series. Substitutes from the CLIPLINE product family maintain design consistency and manufacturing standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044160 is a suitable substitute for the obsolete 0701082 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical position count (2), level configuration (1), and terminal width (10.2mm), ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in existing installations.

Termination Consistency: Both employ screw termination, maintaining compatibility with existing installation procedures and equipment.

Electrical Performance: The 3044160 meets UL current and voltage ratings identical to the original (65 A, 600V UL). Under IEC standards, the substitute provides higher voltage rating (1000V versus 800V), though IEC current rating is reduced (57 A versus 76 A). Application-specific current requirements must be evaluated against the 57 A IEC limit.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The substitute accommodates 6-20 AWG, which is narrower than the original 6-24 AWG range. Applications requiring 22-24 AWG wire termination cannot use this substitute.

Compliance Enhancement: The 3044160 features UL94 V-0 flammability rating (improved from V-2) and ROHS3 compliance (updated from RoHS Compliant), representing enhanced safety and regulatory alignment.

Product Status: The active status of the 3044160 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044160 directly replace the 0701082 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications using wire gauges within the 6-20 AWG range and requiring current not exceeding 57 A under IEC standards. Applications requiring 22-24 AWG wire termination or IEC current above 57 A require alternative solutions.

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

A: The original 0701082 accepts 6-24 AWG wire, while the 3044160 accepts 6-20 AWG. This means the substitute cannot terminate 22 AWG or 24 AWG conductors. Verify wire gauges in the target application before substitution.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: Under UL standards, both parts are rated identically (65 A, 600V). Under IEC standards, the 3044160 provides higher voltage (1000V versus 800V) but lower current capacity (57 A versus 76 A). Select based on the applicable standard and current requirements of your application.

Q: What does the improved flammability rating mean?

A: The 3044160 carries UL94 V-0 rating compared to the original V-2. V-0 represents superior flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties, making it suitable for applications with higher fire safety requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 3044160 is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and logistics processes.

Q: Is the 3044160 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 3044160 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original 0701082 is RoHS Compliant, indicating earlier RoHS directive compliance.

Q: Can I use the 3044160 in new designs?

A: Yes. The active product status and enhanced compliance certifications make the 3044160 suitable for new designs requiring 2-position, feed-through terminal block connectors with screw termination within the specified electrical and wire gauge parameters.
