Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for terminal block connectors is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements. Both the main part (3048328) and substitute part (3044227) maintain identical IEC ratings (125 A / 1000V) and UL ratings (150 A / 600V).

• Physical Configuration: Number of positions and levels must match. Both parts are 2-position, 1-level configurations.

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part accepts 1/0-14 AWG (1.5-50 mm²), which overlaps with the main part's 1/0-18 AWG range (0.75-50 mm²). The substitute part does not accommodate wire gauges below 1.5 mm² (approximately 16 AWG).

• Termination Method: Both parts use screw termination, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

• Material and Compliance: Both parts use identical insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status.

The Phoenix Contact 3044227 qualifies as a substitute for applications using wire gauges 1/0-14 AWG. Applications requiring support for smaller wire gauges (18 AWG and below) cannot use this substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044227 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3048328. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for the following conditions:

• Applications using wire gauges within the 1/0-14 AWG range (1.5-50 mm²)
• Designs where electrical ratings of 125 A (IEC) / 150 A (UL) and 1000V (IEC) / 600V (UL) are sufficient
• Installations requiring ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification

The 3044227 carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the 3048328. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and material specifications.

Applications requiring support for wire gauges smaller than 1.5 mm² (16 AWG and finer) cannot use the 3044227 substitute and must source the original 3048328 or identify alternative connector families with extended wire gauge ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044227 substitute for the 3048328 in all applications?

A: No. The 3044227 accepts wire gauges 1/0-14 AWG (1.5-50 mm²), while the 3048328 supports 1/0-18 AWG (0.75-50 mm²). Applications using wire gauges below 1.5 mm² require the original part.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 125 A at 1000V (IEC) and 150 A at 600V (UL). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the CLIPLINE UK and CLIPLINE UT series?

A: Both are Phoenix Contact feed-through terminal block series with identical electrical and material specifications. The series designation reflects different product lines within the manufacturer's portfolio.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 3048328 and 3044227 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Why is the 3048328 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 3044227, with Active status, is the recommended alternative for continued procurement.

Q: Is there a physical size difference between these connectors?

A: Yes. The terminal width differs: 3048328 is 15.2 mm, while 3044227 is 16.0 mm. Verify mechanical fit in your application before substitution.

Q: Can I use the 3044227 for applications requiring smaller wire gauges?

A: No. The 3044227 minimum wire gauge is 1.5 mm² (approximately 16 AWG). Applications requiring 18 AWG or smaller conductors must use the original 3048328 or alternative connector families.
