Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3045871 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 8
• Positions Per Level: 8
• Number of Levels: 1
• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Style: Screw
• Current - IEC: 32A
• Voltage - IEC: 800V
• Current - UL: 30A
• Voltage - UL: 600V
• Screw Size: M3
• Torque - Screw: 0.6-0.8 Nm
• Wire Strip Length: 9mm
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Plug Wire Entry: 90° (main part) vs. 180° (substitute) — different wire entry angles accommodate different PCB layout requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility
• Wire Gauge Range: 0.14-6mm² (main part) vs. 0.2-6mm² (substitute) — minor variation in minimum wire gauge does not affect substitution validity
• Insulation Height: 1.909" (48.50mm) vs. 1.622" (41.20mm) — dimensional difference reflects wire entry angle variation
• Series Designation: CLIPLINE COMBI UPBV (main part) vs. CLIPLINE COMBI UP (substitute) — both are Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE COMBI series variants

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 3060186 meets all mandatory electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements while differing only in wire entry orientation and related dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3060186 is the designated substitute for the 3045871 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical IEC and UL electrical ratings (32A/800V and 30A/600V respectively), UL94 V-0 flammability classification, and RoHS compliance status. These certifications ensure equivalent performance in regulated applications.

Product Status Consideration: The 3045871 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating end-of-life production. The 3060186 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters, screw fastening specifications (M3, 0.6-0.8 Nm torque), wire termination capabilities (10-26 AWG / 0.2-6mm²), and housing material properties are identical between the two parts. The wire entry angle difference (90° vs. 180°) represents a geometric variation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.

Application Compatibility: Selection between these parts depends on PCB layout requirements. The 90° wire entry of the 3045871 accommodates perpendicular wire routing, while the 180° wire entry of the 3060186 accommodates in-line wire routing. Both configurations maintain equivalent electrical and thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3060186 directly replace the 3045871 in existing applications?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is wire entry orientation. The 3045871 features 90° wire entry, while the 3060186 features 180° wire entry. Substitution is valid if the PCB layout and wire routing accommodate the 180° entry angle. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, screw specifications, and compliance certifications.

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

A: Wire entry angle determines the physical routing path for conductors connecting to the terminal block. The 90° configuration routes wires perpendicular to the connector body, while the 180° configuration routes wires parallel to the connector body. This is a geometric consideration only and does not affect electrical performance, current capacity, or voltage ratings.

Q: Are the wire gauge specifications compatible between these parts?

A: Both parts accept 10-26 AWG wire. The 3045871 specifies a minimum of 0.14mm², while the 3060186 specifies a minimum of 0.2mm². This minor variation does not restrict substitution, as both ranges overlap substantially and accommodate standard industrial wire gauges.

Q: Why is the 3045871 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this part number. The 3060186 is the active replacement offering equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with continued manufacturing support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3045871 and 3060186 are RoHS compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What is the difference in insulation height between these parts?

A: The 3045871 has an insulation height of 1.909" (48.50mm), while the 3060186 has an insulation height of 1.622" (41.20mm). This dimensional difference is a direct result of the wire entry angle variation and does not affect electrical performance or connector compatibility.
