Phoenix Contact 3045949 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3045949 is a 15-position terminal block plug with female sockets configured for 90° wire entry in a free-hanging (in-line) mounting arrangement. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The CLIPLINE COMBI UPBV series plug utilizes screw termination and supports wire gauges from 10-26 AWG (0.14-6mm²) with electrical ratings of 32A at 800V (IEC) and 30A at 600V (UL). Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to the product's end-of-life status and potential inventory depletion.

• Wire Gauge Range - mm²: 0.14-6mm² (main part) vs. 0.2-6mm² (substitute) — minor lower bound difference
• Insulation Height: 1.909" (48.50mm) (main part) vs. 1.622" (41.20mm) (substitute) — dimensional variation
• Series: CLIPLINE COMBI UPBV (main part) vs. CLIPLINE COMBI UP (substitute) — series evolution
• Product Status: Last Time Buy (main part) vs. Active (substitute) — availability status

The Phoenix Contact 3060254 qualifies as a substitute based on electrical compatibility, mechanical interface standardization, and functional equivalence within the CLIPLINE COMBI product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3060254 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3045949. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (32A at 800V IEC; 30A at 600V UL), screw termination specifications, and material compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant, MSL 1). The primary distinction is wire entry orientation: the 3045949 features 90° entry while the 3060254 provides 180° entry. This geometric difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility within the CLIPLINE COMBI product family.

The 3060254 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 3045949. Both components support identical wire gauge ranges (10-26 AWG / 0.14-6mm² to 0.2-6mm²) and screw torque specifications (0.6-0.8 Nm). The dimensional variation in insulation height (48.50mm vs. 41.20mm) reflects series evolution within the CLIPLINE COMBI platform and does not compromise functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3060254 directly replace the 3045949 in existing installations?

A: The 3060254 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 3045949. The primary difference is wire entry orientation (180° vs. 90°). Substitution feasibility depends on physical space constraints and wire routing requirements in the specific application. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings, screw termination specifications, and material compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles?

A: The 3045949 features 90° wire entry (right-angle configuration), while the 3060254 features 180° wire entry (straight/in-line configuration). This affects the physical orientation of incoming wires relative to the terminal block housing. The choice between these configurations is determined by the mechanical layout and wire routing path of the installation.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 3045949 and 3060254 maintain identical electrical specifications: 32A at 800V (IEC) and 30A at 600V (UL). Screw termination torque, wire gauge compatibility, and current-carrying capacity are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 3045949 classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the 3045949 has reached end-of-life in the Phoenix Contact product portfolio. The 3060254 represents the active successor within the CLIPLINE COMBI terminal block family, offering continued manufacturing support and supply availability.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility range for each part?

A: The 3045949 supports 10-26 AWG (0.14-6mm²). The 3060254 supports 10-26 AWG (0.2-6mm²). The difference in the lower mm² bound (0.14mm² vs. 0.2mm²) is negligible for standard industrial applications and does not affect practical wire selection.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3045949 and 3060254 are RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

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

A: The 3045949 has an insulation height of 1.909" (48.50mm), while the 3060254 measures 1.622" (41.20mm). This dimensional variation reflects the evolution of the CLIPLINE COMBI series and does not affect electrical performance or screw termination compatibility.
