Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1413078 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Feed-through terminal block with 2 positions, 1 level, and 5.2 mm terminal width
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 24 A (IEC) and 500 V (IEC) capability; minimum 20 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) capability
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12-28 AWG (0.2-4 mm²) wire range
• Termination Method: Screw termination
• Physical & Material Specifications: Blue color, polyamide insulation, UL94 flammability rating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 3248031 meets these criteria with the following considerations: it supports 12-24 AWG wire gauge (subset of the original range), maintains equivalent electrical ratings for IEC standards, and provides UL ratings that meet or exceed minimum requirements. The substitute is classified as Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3248031 serves as the primary substitute for the discontinued 1413078 based on the following factors:

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The substitute features UL94 V-0 flammability rating, which exceeds the V-2 rating of the original part, providing enhanced material performance.

Electrical Equivalence: IEC electrical ratings are identical (24 A, 500 V). UL voltage rating of the substitute (300 V) is lower than the original (600 V); applications requiring 600 V UL rating must evaluate this difference against actual circuit requirements.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The substitute supports 12-24 AWG, which covers the majority of the original 12-28 AWG range. Applications using 25-28 AWG wire require evaluation of alternative solutions or confirmation that 24 AWG maximum is acceptable.

Product Availability: The substitute is classified as Active, ensuring continued manufacturing and supply chain support compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 3248031 directly replace 1413078 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is suitable for applications using wire gauges 12-24 AWG and operating at UL voltage ratings of 300 V or lower. Applications using 25-28 AWG wire or requiring 600 V UL rating must evaluate compatibility against specific circuit requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting compatible?

A: Both parts share identical terminal width (5.2 mm), 2-position configuration, and 1-level structure. Mechanical compatibility is maintained for standard mounting applications.

Q: What is the difference in flammability ratings between the parts?

A: The original 1413078 carries UL94 V-2 rating, while the substitute 3248031 carries UL94 V-0 rating. V-0 represents superior flame resistance and material performance, making the substitute suitable for applications with enhanced safety requirements.

Q: Why is the wire gauge range different?

A: The substitute supports 12-24 AWG (0.2-4 mm²) compared to the original 12-28 AWG range. This represents a narrower maximum gauge specification. Designs utilizing only 12-24 AWG wire experience no functional impact.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both Phoenix Contact 1413078 and 3248031 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements.

Q: What is the significance of Last Time Buy status for the original part?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of part 1413078. The substitute 3248031, classified as Active, ensures continued availability for new designs and replacement requirements.
