Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3048548 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Feed-through terminal block with 3 positions, 1 level
• Terminal Specifications: 6.2mm terminal width, screw termination style
• Wire Compatibility: 10-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²) wire gauge range
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed IEC 32A/500V and UL 30A/300V minimums
• Material & Safety: Polyamide insulation with UL94 V-2 flammability rating
• Stripping Length: 8mm standard
• Series Compatibility: CLIPLINE UK series

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1923021 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters, with the exception of color (gray vs. white) and minor variations in UL voltage rating (150V vs. 300V). The part is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1923021 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 3048548 model. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, wire gauge compatibility, and core electrical ratings under IEC standards. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement and new applications.

The 1923021 maintains compliance with current RoHS3 regulations, whereas the original part carries RoHS Compliant status. Both components meet UL94 V-2 flammability requirements. The primary differentiators are cosmetic (gray vs. white color) and a reduced UL voltage rating on the substitute (150V vs. 300V). Applications operating within 150V UL specifications will experience no functional limitation. For systems requiring the full 300V UL rating, the electrical performance under IEC standards (500V) remains equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1923021 directly replace the 3048548 in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the substitute part's electrical specifications. Both components feature identical 3-position feed-through configuration, 6.2mm terminal width, screw termination, and support 10-30 AWG wire gauges. Verify that your system voltage does not exceed 150V UL or 500V IEC ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these parts?

A: Color is a cosmetic parameter and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The white (3048548) and gray (1923021) variants are functionally equivalent within the CLIPLINE UK series.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a higher UL current rating (35A vs. 30A)?

A: The 1923021 is rated for 35A under UL standards, exceeding the original part's 30A rating. This represents improved performance capability and does not create compatibility issues. Both parts maintain the same 32A IEC current rating.

Q: Is the 1923021 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The 1923021 is in active production status with current RoHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate choice for new applications requiring a 3-position feed-through terminal block in the CLIPLINE UK series.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1923021 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 826 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components carry UL94 V-2 flammability certification. The 3048548 is RoHS Compliant, while the 1923021 meets the current ROHS3 standard. The 1923021 is also REACH Unaffected. For new applications, the 1923021's current compliance status is preferred.
