Phoenix Contact 2130185 Terminal Block Feed Through Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2130185 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector rated for 300MCM (kcmil) to 2 AWG wire gauges, with IEC ratings of 309 A at 1000V and UL ratings of 285 A at 600V. This component belongs to the CLIPLINE UHV series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for system continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2130185 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must match or exceed both IEC (309 A / 1000 V) and UL (285 A / 600 V) specifications.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Wire gauge range must accommodate 300MCM (kcmil) to 2 AWG, or 35–150 mm².
• Mechanical Configuration: Number of positions (2), number of levels (1), and termination style (screw) must be identical.
• Connector Type: Feed-through configuration must be maintained.
• Compliance: RoHS and regulatory certifications must be present.

The substitute part 3010110 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3010110 is a direct functional equivalent to the 2130185 for applications requiring 2-position feed-through terminal blocks with 300MCM to 2 AWG wire gauge capacity and dual-standard electrical ratings (IEC 309 A / 1000 V and UL 285 A / 600 V).

Primary Advantages of 3010110:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.
• ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete part's RoHS Compliant status.
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating exceeds the UL94 HB rating of the main part, offering improved fire performance.
• Compact terminal width (31.0 mm versus 46.0 mm) may provide space efficiency benefits in panel layouts.

Mechanical Consideration:

The terminal width difference (46.0 mm to 31.0 mm) reflects design evolution within the CLIPLINE product family. This dimensional change does not affect electrical performance or wire gauge compatibility but may require verification of mounting footprint compatibility in existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3010110 directly replace the 2130185 in existing applications?

A: Yes, the 3010110 meets all electrical and functional specifications of the 2130185. The primary consideration is the reduced terminal width (31.0 mm versus 46.0 mm), which may affect panel mounting compatibility. Physical fit verification is recommended before deployment.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 rating on the 3010110 compared to UL94 HB on the 2130185?

A: UL94 V-0 indicates superior flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties compared to UL94 HB. This represents an improvement in material performance and regulatory compliance for the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IEC and UL applications?

A: Yes. Both the 2130185 and 3010110 carry dual electrical ratings: IEC 309 A at 1000 V and UL 285 A at 600 V. Selection between these ratings depends on the applicable regulatory framework for your application.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the 3010110?

A: The 3010110 supports the same wire gauge range as the 2130185: 300MCM (kcmil) to 2 AWG, or 35–150 mm² in metric notation.

Q: Is the 3010110 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3010110 is ROHS3 compliant, which represents the current iteration of RoHS requirements and supersedes the RoHS Compliant status of the obsolete 2130185.

Q: What is the packaging format for the 3010110?

A: The 3010110 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the unspecified packaging of the 2130185. Confirm bulk quantity requirements with your procurement process.
