Phoenix Contact 0810012 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0810012 is a 2-position ground/earth terminal block with 8.0mm terminal width, designed for DIN rail mounting. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The part operates with screw termination, supporting wire gauges from 6-20 AWG (0.5-16mm²) and carries an IEC current rating of 82 A. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to the Last Time Buy status and to ensure continued availability for new designs and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3044173 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Type: Ground, Earth (identical function)
• Number of Positions: 2 (identical configuration)
• Number of Levels: 1 (identical configuration)
• Termination Style: Screw (identical connection method)
• Wire Gauge Range (AWG): 6-20 AWG (identical range)
• Wire Gauge Range (mm²): 0.5-16mm² (identical range)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (identical mounting)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent compliance)

Substitution Considerations: The 3044173 operates at a lower IEC current rating (57 A versus 82 A) and features a larger terminal width (10.2mm versus 8.0mm). These differences require evaluation based on specific application requirements. The substitute maintains identical wire gauge compatibility and screw termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility within the specified wire range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 0810012 carries Last Time Buy status, making the 3044173 the active production alternative from Phoenix Contact. The 3044173 maintains ROHS3 compliance and active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Current Rating Impact: The substitute part operates at 57 A IEC rating compared to the original 82 A rating. Selection of the 3044173 is appropriate for applications where the circuit current demand does not exceed 57 A. Applications requiring the full 82 A capacity of the original part require alternative sourcing strategies.

Physical Footprint: The 3044173 features a 10.2mm terminal width versus the 8.0mm width of the 0810012. Panel layout and DIN rail spacing must accommodate this dimensional difference. Both parts maintain identical 2-position, 1-level configuration and screw termination.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both parts support identical wire gauge ranges (6-20 AWG / 0.5-16mm²), ensuring no changes to conductor sizing or stripping length procedures within the specified range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044173 directly replace the 0810012 in all applications? A: The 3044173 is functionally compatible for applications where circuit current does not exceed 57 A. The lower current rating is the primary limiting factor. Physical dimensions (10.2mm terminal width) must fit within the available panel space.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute part? A: The 3044173 supports identical wire gauge ranges: 6-20 AWG or 0.5-16mm². No changes to conductor selection or preparation are required.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 0810012 and 3044173 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting equivalent environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the difference in terminal width between these parts? A: The 0810012 features 8.0mm terminal width, while the 3044173 features 10.2mm terminal width. This 2.2mm difference affects panel layout and DIN rail spacing considerations.

Q: Does the substitute part use the same termination method? A: Yes. Both parts use screw termination, requiring identical installation procedures and tooling.

Q: Why is the 0810012 marked as Last Time Buy? A: Last Time Buy status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this model. The 3044173 represents the active production alternative within the CLIPLINE series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: 0810012 has 1039 pcs in stock, while 3044173 has 3174 pcs in stock.
