Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3030103 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Feed-through terminal block with 2 positions and 1 level
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute must accommodate the wire gauge range of the original part (16-26 AWG / 0.14-1.5 mm²) or a compatible superset range
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specifications (17.5 A IEC, 400V IEC)
• Physical & Material Specifications: Blue color, polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and compatible terminal width
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 3248031 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. It maintains the same connector type, configuration, termination method, and material specifications while offering enhanced electrical ratings and a compatible wire gauge range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3248031 is a qualified substitute for the obsolete 3030103 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both components are 2-position, feed-through terminal blocks with screw termination, identical insulation material (polyamide/nylon), and matching UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Electrical Performance: The 3248031 provides enhanced electrical ratings (24 A IEC, 500V IEC) compared to the original (17.5 A IEC, 400V IEC), ensuring compatibility with applications designed for the 3030103 without derating concerns.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute accommodates wire gauges 12-24 AWG (0.2-4 mm²), which encompasses the original specification range of 16-26 AWG (0.14-1.5 mm²) for the overlapping 16-24 AWG segment. Applications using 25-26 AWG wires require evaluation of the substitute's lower limit at 12 AWG.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute meets the current ROHS3 standard, ensuring compliance with contemporary regulatory requirements.

Product Availability: The 3248031 is actively manufactured and available in stock, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete 3030103.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3248031 directly replace the 3030103 in existing applications?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges within the 16-24 AWG range. The 3248031 maintains identical connector configuration, termination method, insulation material, and flammability rating. Applications using 25-26 AWG wires fall outside the substitute's specified range and require alternative solutions.

Q: What are the key differences between these two components?

A: The primary differences are product status (3030103 is obsolete; 3248031 is active), electrical ratings (3248031 provides higher current and voltage capacity), wire gauge range (3248031 supports 12-24 AWG versus 16-26 AWG for the original), and terminal width (5.2 mm versus 4.2 mm). Both maintain identical connector type, position count, termination style, and material specifications.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting the 3248031 for the 3030103?

A: The terminal width differs (5.2 mm for 3248031 versus 4.2 mm for 3030103). Physical mounting and spacing must be verified in the application to ensure the substitute fits within existing mechanical constraints.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same regulatory standards as the original?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The substitute meets the current ROHS3 standard, providing compliance with contemporary regulatory frameworks.

Q: What wire gauge range should be used when substituting the 3248031?

A: The substitute is rated for 12-24 AWG (0.2-4 mm²). For applications originally designed for the 3030103 (16-26 AWG), use wire gauges within the 16-24 AWG overlap range. Wire gauges 25-26 AWG are not supported by the substitute.
