Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3041749 can be substituted with part number 3040287 based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Identical number of positions: 4
• Identical termination style: Screwless - Spring Cage, Tension Clamp
• Identical mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Identical current rating (IEC): 24A
• Identical voltage rating (IEC): 500V
• Identical wire gauge range: 12-26 AWG / 0.08-4mm² (3040287 supports 12-28 AWG, maintaining compatibility)
• Identical housing material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Identical flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Identical RoHS compliance status

Differing Parameters (Design Variation):

• Plug wire entry angle: 3041749 uses 90°; 3040287 uses 180°
• Series designation: 3041749 is CLIPLINE COMBI SPV; 3040287 is CLIPLINE COMBI SP
• Insulation height: 3041749 is 1.339" (34.00mm); 3040287 is 1.535" (39.00mm)
• UL voltage rating: 3041749 is 600V; 3040287 is 300V
• Product status: 3041749 is Last Time Buy; 3040287 is Active

The primary substitution constraint is the wire entry angle orientation. Selection between these parts depends on the specific installation geometry and space requirements of the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For 3041749 (90° Wire Entry): Use when the application requires perpendicular wire entry orientation. This configuration is suitable for compact installations where wires must approach the connector at a right angle to the mounting plane. The Last Time Buy status indicates this part should be procured immediately if required for future production needs.

For 3040287 (180° Wire Entry) as Substitute: Use when wire entry can be accommodated in a straight-line (in-line) configuration. This part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The increased insulation height (39.00mm vs. 34.00mm) must be verified against available mounting space. The lower UL voltage rating (300V vs. 600V) requires confirmation that the application does not exceed this specification.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance under IEC standards (24A at 500V) and share equivalent mechanical termination characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by installation geometry and space constraints rather than electrical capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3040287 directly replace 3041749 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement depends on physical space and wire routing geometry. The 90° wire entry of 3041749 differs from the 180° entry of 3040287. If the existing installation requires perpendicular wire approach, 3040287 may not fit without reconfiguring wire paths. The increased insulation height of 3040287 (39.00mm vs. 34.00mm) must also be accommodated within the available mounting envelope.

Q: Are there electrical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both parts meet identical IEC electrical specifications (24A at 500V). However, 3040287 has a lower UL voltage rating (300V vs. 600V). If the application operates under UL standards and requires 600V rating, 3040287 does not meet this requirement. Verify the applicable regulatory standard and voltage requirement before substitution.

Q: Why is 3041749 designated as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory is available for purchase, but no future production is planned. For applications requiring the 90° wire entry configuration, procurement should occur immediately to secure supply before inventory depletion.

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

A: The 3040287 accepts a wider wire gauge range, supporting 28 AWG in addition to the 12-26 AWG range of 3041749. This provides greater flexibility for smaller gauge wiring. Both parts support the full 0.08-4mm² range, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial wire sizes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both 3041749 and 3040287 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and safety standards.
