Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3002018 has one manufacturer-recommended substitute: part number 3044076. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both parts are 2-position, 1-level feed-through terminal blocks with 5.2mm terminal width and screw termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part accepts 12-28 AWG; the substitute accepts 12-26 AWG. The substitute's range (12-26 AWG) is a subset of the original, maintaining compatibility for wire sizes 12-26 AWG
• Electrical Ratings: The substitute provides equal or superior ratings: 24 A (IEC) vs. 32 A (IEC), 1000 V (IEC) vs. 800 V (IEC), and maintains 20 A / 600 V (UL)
• Material & Compliance: Both use polyamide insulation with ROHS3 compliance; the substitute features UL94 V-0 (superior to V-2) and is REACH Affected (vs. REACH Unaffected for the main part)
• Product Status: The main part is Last Time Buy (discontinued); the substitute is Active (current production)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044076 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3002018. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Continuity: The 3002018 carries Last Time Buy status, making the 3044076 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The 3044076 is in Active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (19,306 pcs vs. 860 pcs).

Electrical Compatibility: For applications operating at or below 20 A (UL) or 24 A (IEC) and 600 V (UL) or 800 V (IEC), the 3044076 provides equivalent or superior performance. The substitute's higher IEC voltage rating (1000 V vs. 800 V) offers additional margin in high-voltage applications.

Wire Gauge Considerations: The 3044076 accommodates wire sizes 12-26 AWG. Applications requiring 28 AWG wire must retain the 3002018 or verify alternative solutions, as the substitute does not support this gauge.

Compliance & Safety: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements. The 3044076 features UL94 V-0 flammability rating (superior to the 3002018's V-2), providing enhanced fire performance. REACH compliance differs: the 3002018 is REACH Unaffected; the 3044076 is REACH Affected. Verify REACH requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Mechanical Integration: Both parts share identical 2-position, 1-level configuration with 5.2mm terminal width and screw termination. Stripping length differs slightly (8mm vs. 9mm); verify wire preparation procedures for the substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044076 directly replace the 3002018 in all applications?

A: The 3044076 is suitable for applications using wire gauges 12-26 AWG at electrical ratings of 20 A (UL) / 24 A (IEC) or lower. Applications requiring 28 AWG wire support or higher IEC current ratings (above 24 A) must use the original 3002018 or identify alternative solutions.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference (12-28 AWG vs. 12-26 AWG)?

A: The 3002018 supports wire sizes down to 28 AWG; the 3044076 supports down to 26 AWG. For applications using 27-28 AWG wire, the 3002018 is required. For 12-26 AWG applications, both parts are compatible.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: Under UL standards, both parts are rated 20 A / 600 V. Under IEC standards, the 3002018 is rated 32 A / 800 V, while the 3044076 is rated 24 A / 1000 V. The substitute provides higher voltage margin but lower current capacity under IEC ratings. Select based on your application's actual electrical requirements.

Q: What is the difference in flammability ratings?

A: The 3002018 has UL94 V-2 rating; the 3044076 has UL94 V-0 rating. UL94 V-0 indicates superior flame resistance and is preferred in fire-critical applications. The 3044076 provides enhanced safety performance in this regard.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3002018 is supplied in Bulk packaging; the 3044076 is supplied in Box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory management processes.

Q: What does REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected mean for my application?

A: REACH Affected indicates the part contains substances regulated under the REACH directive and requires compliance documentation. REACH Unaffected indicates no REACH-regulated substances are present. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your end-use application and regulatory jurisdiction before selection.

Q: Is the stripping length difference (8mm vs. 9mm) significant?

A: The stripping length specifies the required wire insulation removal for proper termination. The 3044076 requires 9mm stripping versus 8mm for the 3002018. Ensure wire preparation procedures are adjusted accordingly when transitioning to the substitute.
