Phoenix Contact 2280080 Interface Module Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2280080 is a 16-position interface module terminal block designed for screw connection to rectangular male connectors, supporting wire gauges from 12 to 24 AWG. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates within a 60VDC rated voltage environment with a 1A per-contact current rating and maintains operational capability across -20°C to 50°C temperature ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2280080 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions / Poles: 16
• Process Side Connection: Terminal Blocks - Screw Connection
• Control Side Connection: Rectangular, Male
• Wire Gauge: 12-24 AWG
• Voltage - Rated: 60V or higher
• Current Rating (Per Contact): 1 A or higher
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -20°C ~ 50°C
• Control Side Cable Retainer: Latches

The Phoenix Contact 2315036 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. While dimensional specifications differ (length and width), the electrical and functional interface parameters remain equivalent, permitting direct functional substitution in applications where the 2280080 is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2315036 serves as the functional equivalent for the obsolete 2280080 based on electrical and interface parameter alignment. The 2315036 maintains active product status within the Phoenix Contact VARIOFACE series portfolio, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance certifications. The 2315036 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Dimensional differences between the two parts require verification of mechanical fit within the target application enclosure or mounting structure, though electrical and functional interface compatibility is established.

Selection of the 2315036 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where the 2280080 is no longer procurable. Inventory availability of the 2315036 (798 pieces in stock) supports immediate deployment requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2315036 directly replace the 2280080 in existing applications?

A: Electrical and functional interface compatibility is established. The 16-position screw-to-rectangular male interface, wire gauge support (12-24 AWG), voltage rating (60V), and current capacity (1A per contact) are identical. Mechanical fit must be verified due to dimensional differences (length: 60mm vs. 45mm; width: 50mm vs. 65.50mm).

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching positions (16), connection types (screw to rectangular male), wire gauge (12-24 AWG), voltage rating (60V minimum), current rating (1A per contact minimum), operating temperature range (-20°C to 50°C), and cable retainer type (latches).

Q: Why are the physical dimensions different if these parts are functionally equivalent?

A: The 2315036 belongs to the VARIOFACE VIP series, while the 2280080 belongs to the VARIOFACE FLK series. Series evolution within Phoenix Contact's product line may include dimensional optimization while maintaining electrical interface standards.

Q: Is the 2315036 available for immediate procurement?

A: Yes. The 2315036 is classified as active product status with 798 pieces in stock, supporting immediate availability for new orders and replacement requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 2315036 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory standards. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.
