Phoenix Contact 2963488 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2963488 is an AC power connector receptacle featuring CEE 7/4 (Schuko) configuration with DIN rail mounting. This component functions as a female socket power entry point with spring-cage termination and integrated LED indicator. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in applications requiring CEE 7/4 Schuko receptacle connectivity on DIN rail installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2963488 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Style & Type: CEE 7/4 (Schuko) receptacle configuration with female sockets
• Mounting Interface: DIN rail mounting capability
• Electrical Positions: 2-position configuration
• Functional Features: LED indicator presence
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and VDE approval

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 0804040 maintains equivalence across these core parameters. Variations in termination method (spring-cage versus push-in) and material flammability rating represent secondary design differences that do not affect the fundamental substitution relationship for applications requiring CEE 7/4 Schuko receptacle functionality on DIN rail systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0804040 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 2963488. Both components share identical connector style, type, mounting interface, and position count. The 0804040 maintains current product status with active availability, ensuring long-term supply chain viability compared to the obsolete 2963488.

From a compliance perspective, the 0804040 provides enhanced regulatory coverage with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status documentation, representing current regulatory alignment. The VDE approval on the 0804040 maintains the safety certification standard present on the original part.

The termination method difference (spring-cage on 2963488 versus push-in on 0804040) reflects design evolution within the Phoenix Contact product line. Both termination approaches are established technologies for DIN rail power connectors. The material flammability rating upgrade to UL94 V-0 on the 0804040 indicates improved fire performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 0804040 directly replace the 2963488 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical CEE 7/4 Schuko receptacle configuration, 2-position architecture, DIN rail mounting interface, and LED indicator functionality. The physical and electrical interface compatibility is established across these core parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the termination method difference between spring-cage and push-in?

A: Termination method affects the wire connection process during installation. Spring-cage termination (2963488) uses spring-loaded contacts for wire insertion. Push-in termination (0804040) uses a different mechanical approach. Both methods are standard in industrial power connector applications. Selection depends on installation procedures and equipment compatibility.

Q: Why does the 0804040 show ROHS3 compliance while the 2963488 shows RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current regulatory iteration of the RoHS directive. The 0804040, as an active product, reflects current compliance documentation standards. Both parts meet RoHS requirements; the designation difference reflects the regulatory framework version applicable to each product's status period.

Q: Is the UL94 V-0 material flammability rating on the 0804040 a requirement for substitution?

A: No. The UL94 V-0 rating on the 0804040 represents an enhanced material specification compared to the 2963488. This difference does not prevent substitution; it indicates improved fire performance characteristics in the newer design.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The 2963488 shows 864 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 0804040 shows 853 pieces in stock as new original inventory in bulk packaging. Both components are currently available for procurement.
