Phoenix Contact 2714158 Terminal Block Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2714158 is a 5-position disconnect terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 12-28 AWG with screw termination. This component features feed-through isolation with a slide-switch disconnect mechanism and operates at IEC ratings of 32 A / 250 V. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2714158 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Functional Requirements:

• 5-position disconnect terminal block configuration
• Feed-through, isolated design
• Screw termination method
• Gray color
• Polyamide (PA) nylon insulation material
• 9 mm stripping length

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire gauge range must accommodate 12-28 AWG minimum (0.2-4 mm² minimum)
• Current rating must meet or exceed IEC 32 A / UL 25 A
• Voltage rating must meet or exceed IEC 250 V / UL 300 V

Regulatory & Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliance required
• UL94 flammability rating acceptable at V-2 or higher
• MSL rating of 1 or equivalent

The Phoenix Contact 3076032 qualifies as a substitute based on matching core functional parameters, though with specific electrical derating considerations noted in the parameter comparison.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3076032 serves as an active substitute for the obsolete 2714158, with the following engineering considerations:

Advantages of 3076032:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance exceeds the RoHS requirement of the main part
• Superior UL94 V-0 flammability rating provides enhanced safety margin
• Identical 5-position, 3-level configuration and screw termination
• Matching wire gauge range (0.2-4 mm²) and stripping length (9 mm)
• Equivalent UL voltage rating (300 V)

Derating Considerations:

• Current capacity is reduced: IEC 24 A (vs. 32 A) and UL 20 A (vs. 25 A)
• Wire gauge support limited to 12-26 AWG (excludes 28 AWG)
• Terminal width reduced from 6.2 mm to 5.2 mm
• Disconnect mechanism differs (knife vs. slide switch)
• IEC voltage rating not specified for 3076032

Selection Criteria: Use 3076032 as a substitute when the application current requirement does not exceed 20 A (UL) or 24 A (IEC), wire gauge does not include 28 AWG, and the knife-type disconnect mechanism is acceptable. For applications requiring the full 32 A IEC capacity, 28 AWG support, or slide-switch disconnect, alternative components must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3076032 directly replace the 2714158 in all applications?

A: No. The 3076032 has lower current ratings (20 A UL / 24 A IEC vs. 25 A UL / 32 A IEC) and does not support 28 AWG wire gauge. Substitution is valid only when application current remains below 20 A UL or 24 A IEC and wire gauge is limited to 12-26 AWG.

Q: What is the difference between the slide-switch and knife-type disconnect mechanisms?

A: The 2714158 uses a slide-switch disconnect, while the 3076032 uses a knife-type disconnect. Both provide electrical isolation, but the mechanical actuation method differs. Compatibility depends on the application's mechanical interface requirements.

Q: Is the 3076032 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3076032 is ROHS3 compliant, which exceeds the RoHS compliance requirement of the 2714158.

Q: Why is the terminal width different between these parts?

A: The 2714158 has a 6.2 mm terminal width, while the 3076032 has a 5.2 mm terminal width. This 1 mm difference may affect mechanical fit in applications with tight terminal spacing constraints.

Q: Can I use the 3076032 in a 32 A application originally designed for the 2714158?

A: No. The 3076032 is rated for a maximum of 24 A IEC and 20 A UL, making it unsuitable for applications requiring the full 32 A IEC capacity of the 2714158.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 rating on the 3076032?

A: UL94 V-0 is a superior flammability classification compared to the 2714158's UL94 V-2 rating. This indicates enhanced flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties, providing a safety margin in high-temperature or fire-risk environments.

Q: Is the IEC voltage rating specified for the 3076032?

A: No. The IEC voltage rating is not provided for the 3076032. The UL voltage rating is 300 V, matching the 2714158. For applications requiring IEC voltage specification, contact the manufacturer for clarification.
