Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3046155 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3046149 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical electrical ratings: Both parts maintain IEC 500V/20A performance
• Identical mechanical configuration: 2-position, 1-level disconnect terminal block with knife-switch type
• Identical wire gauge compatibility: 8-24 AWG (0.2-10 mm²) range
• Identical termination method: Screw termination with 10 mm stripping length
• Identical physical dimensions: 8.2 mm terminal width
• Identical material and safety compliance: Polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliant

The primary distinction is product status: the 3046149 is obsolete, while the 3046155 is active. The 3046155 represents the current production equivalent within the CLIPLINE UT series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3046155 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 3046149. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including voltage ratings, current capacity under IEC standards, wire gauge compatibility, and physical dimensions.

The 3046155 maintains full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory continuity for applications requiring these certifications. The component is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, supporting long-term supply chain requirements.

The UL current rating difference (5A for 3046155 versus 16A for 3046149) should be evaluated against specific application requirements. For applications operating within the 5A UL limit, the 3046155 provides direct functional equivalence. For applications requiring the full 16A UL capacity, alternative components within the CLIPLINE UT series should be assessed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3046155 directly replace the 3046149 in existing designs?

A: The 3046155 provides direct mechanical and electrical compatibility for the IEC 500V/20A rating. Designs operating within the 5A UL current limit can implement the 3046155 as a direct substitute. Designs requiring 16A UL capacity require alternative component selection.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components feature 8.2 mm terminal width, 2-position configuration, and 10 mm stripping length. PCB footprints and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 3046149 is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The 3046155 is the current production equivalent, ensuring availability for new designs and ongoing supply for existing applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).
