Phoenix Contact 2130224 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2130224 is a feed-through terminal block connector designed for high-current applications. This 2-position connector accommodates wire gauges from 4/0 to 2 AWG (35-95 mm²) with bolt-and-nut termination. The component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2130224 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Feed-through terminal block
• Termination method: Bolt and nut
• Number of positions: 2
• Number of levels: 1
• Color: Gray
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA) or Nylon-based

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Wire gauge accommodation range (must overlap or exceed 4/0-2 AWG / 35-95 mm²)
• Current rating (IEC or UL standards)
• Voltage rating (IEC or UL standards)
• Terminal width and mechanical footprint
• Flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 3247986 meets the primary substitution criteria as a feed-through, 2-position, bolt-and-nut terminal block with gray polyamide insulation. Wire gauge range compatibility and electrical ratings differ and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3247986 is an active product substitute for the obsolete 2130224. Selection between these components depends on application-specific electrical and mechanical requirements:

Electrical Considerations:

• The 3247986 provides higher UL current rating (420 A vs. 230 A) and higher UL voltage rating (1000 V vs. 600 V)
• IEC ratings are not specified for the 3247986; applications requiring IEC compliance should reference the 2130224 specifications
• Wire gauge range differs: 3247986 accommodates 600MCM (kcmil)-8 AWG (10-240 mm²), which overlaps but extends beyond the 2130224 range of 4/0-2 AWG (35-95 mm²)

Mechanical Considerations:

• Terminal width increases from 40.0 mm to 49.0 mm; mounting footprint compatibility must be verified
• Both components feature bolt-and-nut termination and 2-position, single-level configuration

Compliance Considerations:

• The 3247986 features UL94 V-0 flammability rating, superior to the 2130224 UL94 HB rating
• RoHS compliance status is specified for the 2130224; compliance status for the 3247986 should be confirmed with the manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3247986 directly replace the 2130224 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of three factors: wire gauge compatibility with your installed conductors, electrical rating sufficiency for your circuit (IEC or UL standard), and mechanical fit within your mounting space. The 3247986 terminal width is 9 mm wider than the 2130224.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with each part?

A: The 2130224 accommodates 4/0-2 AWG (35-95 mm²). The 3247986 accommodates 600MCM (kcmil)-8 AWG (10-240 mm²). The 3247986 range includes smaller gauges (8 AWG) and larger gauges (600MCM) but excludes the 2130224 minimum of 4/0 AWG in the upper range.

Q: Are there electrical rating differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 2130224 is rated 232 A (IEC) / 230 A (UL) at 1000 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL). The 3247986 is rated 420 A (UL) at 1000 V (UL). IEC ratings for the 3247986 are not provided.

Q: What is the significance of the flammability rating difference?

A: The 2130224 has UL94 HB rating; the 3247986 has UL94 V-0 rating. UL94 V-0 indicates superior flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties. Application safety requirements determine if this upgrade is necessary or if HB rating is acceptable.

Q: Why is the 2130224 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 3247986 is an active product and represents the current equivalent offering for similar applications.

Q: Should I consider packaging differences?

A: The 2130224 packaging is not specified; the 3247986 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.
