Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3048690 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Series: CLIPLINE UK (same product family)
• Number of Positions: 2 (identical configuration)
• Type: Disconnect with Fuse and Lever mechanism (same functional design)
• Current Rating (IEC): 32 A (identical electrical capacity)
• Voltage Rating (IEC): 690V (identical voltage specification)
• Termination Style: Screw (same connection method)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (same material composition)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (equivalent safety standard)
• Stripping Length: 12mm (identical preparation requirement)

Allowable Variation:

• Wire Gauge Range: 3048690 accepts 6-18 AWG (0.75-25mm²) versus 3048713's 4-16 AWG (1.5-25mm²). The 3048690 accommodates a broader range that includes the original specification range, making it compatible for applications within the 4-16 AWG window.
• Fuse Type: 3048690 uses Midget 10.3mm x 38mm versus Class CC in the original. Both are 10.3mm x 38mm form factors with equivalent mechanical fit.
• Product Status: 3048690 is Active, providing ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3048690 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 3048713 within applications requiring 4-16 AWG wire accommodation. Both components maintain identical IEC electrical ratings (32 A, 690V) and mechanical configuration as 2-position disconnect blocks with lever-operated fuse mechanisms.

The 3048690 provides enhanced compliance status through ROHS3 certification and maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The expanded wire gauge acceptance range (6-18 AWG versus 4-16 AWG) encompasses the original specification window, permitting direct substitution in existing designs without circuit modification.

Fuse type variation between Class CC and Midget specifications does not affect mechanical compatibility, as both maintain the 10.3mm x 38mm form factor. Selection between fuse types should be determined by application-specific protection requirements and existing fuse inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3048690 directly replace the 3048713 in existing installations?

A: Yes, within applications using 4-16 AWG wire gauges. The 3048690 accepts this range as part of its broader 6-18 AWG specification. Electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and termination method are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The 3048690 accommodates wire sizes from 6-18 AWG (0.75-25mm²), while the 3048713 was specified for 4-16 AWG (1.5-25mm²). For applications using 4-16 AWG conductors, the 3048690 operates within its rated capacity. Applications requiring 4-5 AWG wire would require alternative components.

Q: Are the fuse types interchangeable?

A: Both the Class CC and Midget fuse types share the 10.3mm x 38mm mechanical form factor and fit the same cavity. Fuse type selection depends on application protection characteristics. Consult application documentation to confirm fuse type requirements.

Q: What compliance advantages does the 3048690 offer?

A: The 3048690 carries ROHS3 certification compared to the original RoHS Compliant status, reflecting current regulatory alignment. Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 3048713 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 3048690 is available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.
