Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3048331 has been identified with one equivalent substitute based on terminal block connector classification within the Phoenix Contact product family. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer consistency (Phoenix Contact)
• Component category alignment (Terminal Blocks)
• RoHS compliance maintenance
• Moisture sensitivity level compatibility (MSL 1)
• Export classification equivalence (EAR99)

The substitute part 3009118 is classified as an active product within the CLIPLINE UKH series, providing a modern alternative to the obsolete 3048331. This substitute maintains the same manufacturer source and regulatory compliance framework, ensuring continuity in supply chain management and regulatory adherence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 3048331 carries an Obsolete designation, indicating that Phoenix Contact has discontinued this product line. The 3009118 substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability, ongoing manufacturer support, and continued compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.

Compliance Framework: Both the main part and substitute maintain equivalent export classification (EAR99) and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). The substitute advances to ROHS3 Compliant status, representing enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental directives. The substitute's documented UL94 V-0 flammability rating provides explicit fire safety certification not specified in the main part documentation.

Supply Chain Continuity: The substitute part demonstrates superior inventory availability (1104 units versus 728 units), supporting consistent procurement cycles and reducing lead time risk. Active product status ensures that the substitute will remain available for future procurement requirements, whereas the obsolete main part faces eventual stock depletion.

Regulatory and Certification Alignment: Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and maintain identical export classification codes. The substitute's explicit material composition documentation (Polyamide/Nylon insulation) and flammability certification provide enhanced traceability for quality assurance and regulatory documentation purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 3048331 being phased out? A: The 3048331 is classified as Obsolete by Phoenix Contact, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this model. Obsolete status typically reflects product line consolidation, technological advancement, or market transition to newer designs.

Q: Is the 3009118 a direct replacement for the 3048331? A: The 3009118 is a Phoenix Contact terminal block connector substitute that maintains equivalent regulatory compliance (RoHS, EAR99 classification) and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Both components are classified within the terminal block category and share the same manufacturer source. However, the 3009118 is specified as a 2-position feed-through connector with defined electrical ratings (150 A IEC/UL, 1000V IEC, 600V UL) and wire gauge specifications (1/0-6 AWG, 16-70mm²), whereas the 3048331 detailed specifications are not provided in available documentation.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters of the substitute? A: The 3009118 substitute is rated for 150 A current capacity under both IEC and UL standards, with voltage ratings of 1000V IEC and 600V UL. The terminal width is 20.0mm, and the connector accommodates wire gauges from 1/0 to 6 AWG (16-70mm²) with screw termination style and 24mm stripping length.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute? A: The 3048331 packaging specification is not documented. The 3009118 substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging format. Packaging requirements should be evaluated against specific procurement and assembly specifications.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same color specification? A: The 3048331 is specified as black. The 3009118 substitute is specified as gray. Color differences may impact visual identification and panel aesthetics in applications where color coding is functionally significant.

Q: What is the series designation for the substitute? A: The 3009118 substitute belongs to the Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE UKH series, representing a modern terminal block connector line with active manufacturer support and ongoing product development.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The 3048331 is RoHS Compliant. The 3009118 substitute is ROHS3 Compliant, representing alignment with the current RoHS 3 directive framework and enhanced environmental compliance standards.

Q: What termination method does the substitute use? A: The 3009118 substitute employs screw termination style, providing secure wire connection through mechanical fastening.
