Phoenix Contact 3041817 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3041817 is an 11-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 90° free hanging (in-line) configuration, designed for screwless spring cage termination. This component operates at 24A (IEC) / 20A (UL) and 500V (IEC) / 600V (UL), supporting wire gauges from 12-26 AWG (0.08-4mm²). The part is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and system compatibility for new designs and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3040355 qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same family ecosystem)
• Category: Terminal Blocks
• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 11
• Positions Per Level: 11
• Number of Levels: 1
• Termination Style: Screwless - Spring Cage, Tension Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Current - IEC: 24A
• Voltage - IEC: 500V
• Current - UL: 20A
• Wire Gauge - AWG: 12-28 AWG (encompasses 12-26 AWG range)
• Wire Gauge - mm²: 0.08-4mm²
• Color: Gray
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameter:

• Plug Wire Entry: 180° (straight) vs. 90° (angled)
• Voltage - UL: 300V (vs. 600V on main part)
• Series: CLIPLINE COMBI SP (vs. CLIPLINE COMBI SPV)

The 3040355 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical position count, termination method, current/voltage ratings (IEC), wire gauge support, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is wire entry orientation and reduced UL voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3040355 is an active production substitute for the discontinued 3041817. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications under IEC standards (24A, 500V) and support the same wire gauge range (0.08-4mm²). Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1.

Selection between these parts depends on physical installation constraints:

• 3041817 (90° wire entry): Required for applications where wires must enter at a right angle to the connector body.
• 3040355 (180° wire entry): Suitable for applications where wires enter in line with the connector body.

The 3040355 operates at reduced UL voltage (300V vs. 600V), which must be evaluated against system voltage requirements. For applications operating at or below 300V UL, the 3040355 provides full compatibility. For systems requiring 600V UL rating, the 3040355 does not meet specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3040355 directly replace the 3041817 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application accommodates 180° (straight) wire entry instead of 90° (angled) entry, and if the system voltage does not exceed 300V UL. IEC electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: What is the significance of the wire entry angle difference?

A: Wire entry angle determines the physical orientation of incoming wires relative to the connector body. A 90° entry requires wires to approach perpendicular to the connector, while 180° entry allows wires to approach parallel. This affects PCB layout, enclosure design, and cable routing.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Both are 11-position female socket plugs with identical position spacing and termination method. Mating compatibility depends on the corresponding male header or receptacle design, which must accommodate the specific wire entry angle.

Q: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean for the 3041817?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Existing inventory may be available, but no future manufacturing runs are planned. The 3040355, with Active status, represents the current production alternative.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility differences?

A: The 3040355 supports 12-28 AWG, while the 3041817 supports 12-26 AWG. The 3040355 accommodates a slightly wider range, including 27-28 AWG wires not supported by the original part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). Both carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000 classifications.
