Phoenix Contact 1824310 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1824310 is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block designed for surface mount applications with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component provides vertical board entry with screwless push-in spring termination, rated for 10A at 300V, and accommodates wire gauges from 16-24 AWG. The part is actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, automation, and power distribution applications where reliable wire termination is required. Equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to supply chain constraints, regional availability, or design standardization requirements across manufacturing facilities.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1824310 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (10A), voltage rating (300V), and wire gauge acceptance (16-24 AWG) must be identical or exceed the main part specifications
Physical Compatibility: Position count (3), pitch spacing (5.00mm), and mating orientation (vertical with board) must match exactly to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
Termination Method: Wire termination must be screwless push-in type to maintain installation procedure consistency
Mounting Technology: Surface mount (SMD) packaging is required for automated assembly compatibility
Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 are mandatory for equivalent substitution

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3103/700-000/997-605 meets all substitution criteria across these parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1824310 and WAGO 2086-3103/700-000/997-605 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, establishing them as interchangeable for applications requiring 3-position, 5.00mm pitch terminal blocks with 10A/300V ratings.

The primary distinction lies in termination actuation: the Phoenix Contact uses leg spring push-in termination, while the WAGO employs push button clamp actuation. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified electrical parameters.

Contact material composition differs slightly—the WAGO features electrolytic copper with tin plating versus the Phoenix Contact's tin plating alone—resulting in enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in the WAGO variant. This represents a performance advantage rather than a limitation.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and existing design standardization within the manufacturing environment. Both parts satisfy identical functional requirements for surface mount wire-to-board terminal block applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3103/700-000/997-605 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1824310 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (3), and mating orientation (vertical with board), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The surface mount package dimensions are equivalent, allowing direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: Are there differences in wire termination between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact uses leg spring push-in termination, while the WAGO uses push button clamp actuation. Both are screwless termination methods that accept 16-24 AWG wire. The operational procedure differs slightly, but electrical performance and wire retention are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 10A current, 300V voltage, and accept 16-24 AWG wire gauges. Electrical performance is identical across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the contact plating difference?

A: The WAGO's electrolytic copper base with tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the Phoenix Contact's tin plating alone. This represents an improvement in contact reliability and longevity, particularly in humid or corrosive environments.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1824310 and WAGO 2086-3103/700-000/997-605 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly processes?

A: Yes. Both parts are surface mount components with identical packaging (Tape & Reel), supporting automated pick-and-place assembly. The different termination actuation methods do not affect assembly compatibility.
