Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3034073 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must remain 4
• Number of Levels: Must remain 1
• Terminal Width: Must remain 5.2mm
• Termination Style: Must remain Push In, Spring
• Type: Must remain Ground, Earth
• Material - Insulation: Must remain Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Flammability Rating: Must remain UL94 V-0
• Stripping Length: Must remain 10mm
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Substitute must accommodate the 12-24 AWG range or an extended range that includes it

The Phoenix Contact 3034073 has one identified substitute: 3209594 from the CLIPLINE PT series. This substitute maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering an extended wire gauge range (12-26 AWG) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3209594 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 3034073. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, termination methodology, and core electrical specifications. The 3209594 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 3209594 is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.
• Extended Wire Gauge Range: The 3209594 accommodates 12-26 AWG (0.14-4mm²), which fully encompasses the original 12-24 AWG specification, providing compatibility with a broader range of conductor sizes.
• Enhanced Compliance: The 3209594 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.
• Inventory Availability: The 3209594 maintains significantly higher stock levels (9907 units) compared to the obsolete 3034073.

For applications currently using the 3034073, direct replacement with the 3209594 is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3209594 directly replace the 3034073 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical terminal width (5.2mm), position count (4), level configuration (1), termination style (push-in spring), insulation material (polyamide), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The 3209594 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge specifications between these parts?

A: The 3034073 accepts 12-24 AWG wire. The 3209594 accepts 12-26 AWG wire. The extended range of the 3209594 includes the full specification of the original part, making it fully compatible for all applications within the 12-24 AWG range.

Q: Why is the 3034073 listed as obsolete?

A: The 3034073 belongs to the CLIPLINE DT series, which has been superseded by the CLIPLINE PT series. The 3209594 represents the current-generation equivalent from Phoenix Contact's active product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 3034073 packaging specification is not provided. The 3209594 is supplied in box packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 3209594?

A: The 3209594 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.
