Phoenix Contact 2130198 Terminal Block Feed Through Connector

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2130198 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector designed for high-current applications in the 500MCM (kcmil) to 2/0 AWG wire gauge range. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector operates at 415 A (IEC) / 380 A (UL) and 1000 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL), serving applications requiring robust electrical connections with bolt-and-nut termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2130198 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (415 A IEC / 380 A UL) and voltage rating (1000 V IEC / 600 V UL) must be maintained or exceeded
• Mechanical Compatibility: Wire gauge range (500MCM–2/0 AWG / 70–240 mm²) and number of positions (2) and levels (1) must match exactly
• Termination Interface: Feed-through configuration and connector type must be compatible with existing installations
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and material specifications must meet or exceed the original part requirements

The Phoenix Contact 3010217 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings, wire gauge range, position count, and feed-through configuration. Differences in terminal width, termination style, and series designation reflect design evolution within the Phoenix Contact product line while maintaining functional equivalence for the specified application parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3010217 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2130198 terminal block connector. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications (415 A IEC, 1000 V IEC, 380 A UL, 600 V UL) and wire gauge compatibility (500MCM–2/0 AWG / 70–240 mm²), ensuring functional equivalence in high-current distribution applications.

The 3010217 offers enhanced regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification and superior flammability performance (UL94 V-0 versus UL94 HB), making it suitable for applications with stricter safety and environmental requirements. The part is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (15,511 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity for new installations and system replacements.

Design differences between the two parts—including terminal width (36.0 mm versus 53.0 mm), termination style (screw versus bolt-and-nut), and series designation (CLIPLINE UKH versus CLIPLINE UHV)—reflect product line modernization. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for applications within the specified wire gauge and current rating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3010217 directly replace the 2130198 in existing installations?

A: The 3010217 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for the specified application parameters (2 positions, 500MCM–2/0 AWG wire gauge, 415 A IEC / 380 A UL current rating, 1000 V IEC / 600 V UL voltage rating). Physical mounting and termination interface differences must be evaluated for the specific installation context.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination styles (bolt-and-nut versus screw)?

A: The 2130198 uses bolt-and-nut termination, while the 3010217 uses screw termination. Both methods provide secure electrical connections within the specified current and voltage ratings. Installation procedures and tooling requirements differ between the two styles.

Q: Why does the 3010217 have a higher flammability rating (UL94 V-0)?

A: The UL94 V-0 rating of the 3010217 indicates superior flame resistance compared to the UL94 HB rating of the 2130198. This enhancement reflects current safety standards and material science advances in the Phoenix Contact product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2130198 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 3010217 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What does the ROHS3 compliance of the 3010217 indicate?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3, representing the current regulatory standard for electronic component manufacturing in the European Union and equivalent markets.
