Phoenix Contact 3045813 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3045813 is a 2-position terminal block plug with female sockets and 90° free-hanging (in-line) wire entry configuration. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The CLIPLINE COMBI UPBV series plug provides screw termination for wire gauges 10-26 AWG (0.14-6mm²) with IEC ratings of 32A at 800V and UL ratings of 30A 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 design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3045813 is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility within the CLIPLINE COMBI terminal block family. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage specifications (IEC 32A/800V, UL 30A/600V) must be maintained or exceeded
• Position Configuration: 2-position, single-level plug with female sockets
• Termination Method: Screw termination with M3 screw and 0.6-0.8 Nm torque specification
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 10-26 AWG (0.14-6mm²) wire gauge range
• Mounting Type: Free-hanging (in-line) configuration
• Housing Material and Flammability: Polyamide (PA) nylon with UL94 V-0 rating
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute parts is the plug wire entry orientation (90° versus 180°). This geometric difference allows substitution only in applications where the wire entry angle can be accommodated by the system design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3060128 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3045813. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical IEC (32A/800V) and UL (30A/600V) ratings, ensuring equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical screw termination (M3, 0.6-0.8 Nm), wire gauge support (10-26 AWG), and free-hanging mounting configuration. The wire strip length of 9mm is identical.

Material and Compliance: Both parts use polyamide (PA) nylon housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting equivalent environmental and safety standards.

Geometric Differences: The primary distinction is the plug wire entry orientation (90° for 3045813 versus 180° for 3060128) and insulation height (48.50mm versus 41.20mm). The 3060128 is suitable for applications where straight-line wire entry is acceptable and space constraints favor the shorter profile.

Wire Gauge Range: The 3060128 supports wire gauges from 0.2-6mm² compared to 0.14-6mm² for the 3045813. Applications requiring 0.14-0.2mm² wire support must retain the 3045813 or identify alternative substitutes.

Product Status: The 3060128 is Active production status, ensuring long-term availability, while the 3045813 is Last Time Buy. For new designs and long-term supply chain planning, the 3060128 is the preferred selection when geometric constraints permit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3060128 directly replace the 3045813 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement depends on the mechanical design of the connector housing and wire routing. The 3060128 features 180° wire entry (straight) compared to the 3045813's 90° entry (right-angle). If the assembly accommodates straight-line wire entry and the reduced insulation height (41.20mm versus 48.50mm), direct substitution is feasible. Physical fit verification is required.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain IEC ratings of 32A at 800V and UL ratings of 30A at 600V. Screw termination specifications (M3, 0.6-0.8 Nm torque) are identical. Both support 10-26 AWG wire gauge range with identical wire strip length (9mm).

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The 3045813 has an insulation height of 48.50mm, while the 3060128 measures 41.20mm. This 7.3mm difference affects the overall profile of the assembled connector. Applications with space constraints may benefit from the 3060128's shorter profile, while applications requiring the original height must retain the 3045813 or identify alternative substitutes.

Q: Does the wire gauge range difference affect substitution?

A: The 3060128 supports 0.2-6mm² wire gauge compared to the 3045813's 0.14-6mm². Applications requiring support for wire gauges below 0.2mm² must use the 3045813. For standard applications using 0.2-6mm² wire, both parts are compatible.

Q: Why is the 3045813 classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of the 3045813. Existing inventory is available for purchase, but no future production is planned. The 3060128 is the active production substitute within the CLIPLINE COMBI terminal block family.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3045813 and 3060128 are RoHS compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What packaging is available for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Current inventory for the 3045813 is 754 pieces, while the 3060128 has 1176 pieces in stock.
