Phoenix Contact 2130004 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2130004 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector rated for 4-6 AWG wire gauge, part of the CLIPLINE UHV series. This component is designed for bolt-and-nut termination applications requiring 101 A at 1000V (IEC) or 85 A at 600V (UL). The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2130004 is constrained by the following critical parameters:

Termination Method: The 2130004 uses bolt-and-nut termination. Substitute components must employ the same termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing installations.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The part accepts 4-6 AWG (6-25 mm²) conductors. Substitute parts must accommodate this wire gauge range or a range that fully encompasses it.

Electrical Ratings: The component is rated for 101 A at 1000V (IEC) or 85 A at 600V (UL). Substitute parts must meet or exceed these electrical specifications to maintain system safety and performance.

Position Count: The 2-position configuration is application-specific. Substitutes with higher position counts may be used if the installation permits, but lower position counts are not acceptable.

Insulation Material and Flammability: The polyamide construction with UL94 HB rating defines the thermal and fire performance envelope. Substitutes must maintain equivalent or superior flammability ratings.

Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance status must be verified for regulatory alignment in the target application.

The Phoenix Contact 3247973 is identified as a substitute based on shared termination methodology (bolt-and-nut), compatible wire gauge range (2/0-8 AWG encompasses 4-6 AWG), superior electrical ratings (192 A at 1.5 kV IEC; 175 A at 600V UL), and equivalent insulation material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3247973 serves as a direct functional substitute for the 2130004 based on the following engineering criteria:

Termination Compatibility: Both components employ bolt-and-nut termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with existing wiring and installation infrastructure.

Electrical Performance: The 3247973 exceeds the electrical specifications of the 2130004 across all ratings (192 A vs. 101 A at IEC; 1.5 kV vs. 1000 V at IEC; 175 A vs. 85 A at UL). This superior performance ensures safe operation in applications originally designed for the 2130004.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 3247973 accepts 2/0-8 AWG (6-70 mm²), which fully encompasses the 4-6 AWG (6-25 mm²) requirement of the 2130004. Existing wire connections remain compatible without modification.

Compliance Enhancement: The 3247973 carries ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, representing an improvement over the 2130004's UL94 HB rating. This upgrade enhances regulatory alignment and fire safety performance.

Product Availability: The 3247973 is active in production with confirmed inventory, addressing the obsolescence status of the 2130004 and ensuring long-term component availability.

Position Count Consideration: The 3247973 provides 3 positions versus the 2130004's 2 positions. In applications where only 2 positions are required, the third position remains unused but does not compromise functionality of the active connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3247973 directly replace the 2130004 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components use bolt-and-nut termination, accept compatible wire gauges (3247973 range encompasses 2130004 range), and maintain equivalent insulation material composition. The 3247973 provides superior electrical ratings and improved flammability compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference (2 vs. 3)?

A: The 2130004 is a 2-position block; the 3247973 is a 3-position block. If the installation requires only 2 connections, the third position on the 3247973 remains unused. This does not affect the operation of the two active connections. Physical space constraints must be verified during installation planning.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: No. The 3247973 accepts 2/0-8 AWG (6-70 mm²), which fully covers the 4-6 AWG (6-25 mm²) specification of the 2130004. Existing wire gauges remain compatible without modification.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: The 3247973 exceeds the 2130004 across all electrical parameters. At IEC: 192 A vs. 101 A (current) and 1.5 kV vs. 1000 V (voltage). At UL: 175 A vs. 85 A (current) and 600 V vs. 600 V (voltage). This ensures safe operation in applications originally designed for the 2130004.

Q: What is the difference in flammability ratings?

A: The 2130004 carries UL94 HB; the 3247973 carries UL94 V-0. UL94 V-0 represents superior fire performance and is preferred in applications with stringent safety requirements.

Q: Is the 3247973 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3247973 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The 2130004 is RoHS compliant (earlier standard). Both satisfy RoHS requirements for their respective compliance generations.

Q: Why is the 2130004 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 3247973, as an active product with confirmed inventory, provides a viable path for component sourcing and system maintenance.
