Phoenix Contact 3041736 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3041736 is a 3-position terminal block plug with female sockets configured for 90° free hanging (in-line) mounting. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The part features screwless spring cage termination, supporting wire gauges from 12-26 AWG (0.08-4mm²) with IEC ratings of 24A at 500V and UL ratings of 20A at 600V. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to the Last Time Buy status to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new production applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3041736 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 3
• Termination Style: Screwless - Spring Cage, Tension Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 12-26 AWG minimum (0.08-4mm² minimum)
• Current Rating: 24A IEC minimum
• Voltage Rating: 500V IEC minimum

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Plug Wire Entry Angle: 90° or 180° (affects physical installation orientation)
• UL Voltage Rating: May vary (300V-600V acceptable for UL applications)
• Wire Gauge Upper Range: May extend beyond 26 AWG
• Series Designation: May differ (CLIPLINE COMBI SPV vs. CLIPLINE COMBI SP)

The substitute part 3040274 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical termination technology, current capacity, and wire gauge support, with the primary difference being wire entry orientation (180° straight vs. 90° angled).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 3040274

The 3040274 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3041736. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (24A IEC, 500V IEC, 20A UL) and mechanical compatibility through matching termination technology and wire gauge support (0.08-4mm²). The 3040274 offers the advantage of Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 3041736.

The primary design difference is wire entry orientation: the 3041736 features 90° angled entry while the 3040274 features 180° straight entry. This distinction affects physical installation geometry and cable routing but does not impact electrical performance or connector mating compatibility.

The 3040274 provides enhanced compliance through ROHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The UL voltage rating of 300V on the 3040274 is lower than the 3041736's 600V; however, both parts maintain the same 500V IEC rating, which typically governs industrial application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3040274 directly replace the 3041736 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. The primary consideration is wire entry orientation: the 3040274 features 180° straight entry versus the 3041736's 90° angled entry. Physical installation geometry and cable routing must accommodate this difference. Connector mating with corresponding receptacles remains compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the different UL voltage ratings (600V vs. 300V)?

A: Both parts maintain the same IEC voltage rating of 500V, which is the standard specification for industrial applications. The UL rating difference reflects different certification pathways but does not affect performance in typical industrial control circuits operating at or below 500V.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility differences between these parts?

A: Both parts support 0.08-4mm² wire gauges. The 3040274 extends the AWG range to 12-28 AWG compared to the 3041736's 12-26 AWG, providing additional flexibility for smaller gauge applications.

Q: Why is the 3041736 classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this model. The 3040274 is the active replacement, ensuring long-term supply availability and continued manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are 829 pcs for the 3041736 and 686 pcs for the 3040274. Given the Last Time Buy status of the 3041736, transitioning to the 3040274 is recommended for new designs and future production requirements.
