Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3036152 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Identical number of positions (2) and levels (1)
• Identical connector type (Feed Through)
• Identical termination method (Push In, Spring)
• Identical color (Blue)
• Compatible wire gauge range: 3036152 supports 4-16 AWG, which encompasses the 4-14 AWG requirement of 3006797
• Compatible current rating: 3036152 rated at 85A UL, exceeding the 65A requirement
• Identical voltage rating: 600V UL
• Active product status with current manufacturing availability

The 3036152 represents an enhanced variant within the same product family, offering expanded wire gauge accommodation and improved current capacity while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3036152 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 3006797 based on the following factors:

Product Status & Availability: The 3006797 is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The 3036152 is an active product with confirmed inventory (1088 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certifications: The 3036152 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the 3006797 status is not applicable. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: The 3036152 maintains identical voltage and termination specifications while providing enhanced current capacity (85A vs. 65A) and expanded wire gauge accommodation (4-16 AWG vs. 4-14 AWG). The terminal width variance (12.2mm vs. 12.0mm) remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard PCB and panel mounting applications.

Series Designation: The 3036152 belongs to the CLIPLINE ST series, representing the current generation of Phoenix Contact feed-through terminal blocks with improved performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3036152 directly replace the 3006797 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 3036152 maintains identical connector type, position count, level configuration, termination method, and voltage rating. The enhanced current capacity and expanded wire gauge range provide functional compatibility with equivalent or superior performance margins.

Q: What is the significance of the terminal width difference (12.0mm vs. 12.2mm)?

A: The 0.2mm variance represents a minor dimensional tolerance within standard manufacturing specifications for terminal block connectors. This difference does not affect mechanical compatibility with standard PCB footprints or panel cutouts designed for 12.0mm terminal blocks.

Q: Are there any wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: The 3036152 supports 4-16 AWG, which fully encompasses the 4-14 AWG specification of the 3006797. Wire gauges within the 4-14 AWG range are fully compatible with both parts.

Q: What is the impact of the RoHS3 compliance difference?

A: The 3036152 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The 3006797 status is not applicable due to its obsolete classification. For new designs and regulatory compliance, the 3036152 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution compatibility?

A: The 3006797 packaging is unspecified, while the 3036152 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it pertains only to order quantity and logistics considerations.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it matter?

A: The 3036152 is rated at 85A UL compared to the 3006797 at 65A UL. This 20A increase provides additional safety margin and accommodates higher current applications within the same form factor. Existing applications rated at 65A or below operate within the 3036152 specification.
