Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3041985 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (10 A IEC minimum), voltage rating (250 V IEC minimum), and termination style (Plug Receptacles, Push In, Spring)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 8-position configuration, 5.2mm terminal width, DIN rail mounting, and gray housing color
• Material & Compliance: Polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and RoHS compliance
• Wire Gauge Support: Minimum support for 12 AWG and maximum support for at least 26 AWG

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 3012300 meets all critical substitution criteria within the allowed parameter ranges for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3012300 is a direct functional substitute for the 3041985. Both components share identical electrical ratings (10 A at 250 V IEC), mechanical configuration (8-position, 5.2mm terminal width, DIN rail mount), and material specifications (Polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 rating). Both are RoHS compliant.

The 3012300 is classified as Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 3041985. The 3012300 belongs to the CLIPLINE COMBI PT series, representing a current-generation product line.

Wire gauge compatibility is maintained within the critical range: both parts support 12 AWG minimum and 26 AWG maximum. The 3012300 supports a minimum of 0.14mm² versus 0.08mm² for the 3041985, a negligible difference in practical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3012300 directly replace the 3041985 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (10 A, 250 V IEC), support the same wire gauge range for standard applications (12-26 AWG), and share identical mechanical mounting (DIN rail, 8-position, 5.2mm terminal width). Housing color and insulation material are identical.

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

A: The 3041985 supports 12-28 AWG (0.08-4mm²), while the 3012300 supports 12-26 AWG (0.14-4mm²). For applications using 27-28 AWG wire, the 3041985 provides extended support. For standard industrial applications using 12-26 AWG, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 3041985 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 3012300, classified as Active, represents the current-generation equivalent and is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3041985 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 3012300 is supplied in Box packaging. This affects order quantities and storage but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 3041985 and 3012300 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.8000.
