Phoenix Contact 3050028 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3050028 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 12-26 AWG (0.25-1.5 mm²). This component operates at 17.5 A (IEC) / 10 A (UL) and 800V (IEC) / 600V (UL), featuring IDC and screw termination styles in the CLIPLINE QTCU series. The part carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and maintain system compatibility for new designs and replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3050028 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed IEC 17.5 A / 800 V and UL 10 A / 600 V specifications
• Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position, 1-level feed-through configuration with 5.2 mm terminal width
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Wire gauge range must accommodate the 12-26 AWG (0.25-1.5 mm²) specification
• Termination Method: IDC and/or screw termination capability
• Physical Form Factor: Blue color, polyamide/nylon insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 3050028 meets all critical substitution criteria within the allowed parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3205022 serves as the active production equivalent to the discontinued 3050028. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (17.5 A IEC / 10 A UL, 800V IEC / 600V UL) and mechanical specifications (2-position, 5.2 mm terminal width, feed-through configuration). The 3205022 is ROHS3 compliant, representing current regulatory compliance standards, whereas the 3050028 carries RoHS Compliant status. The 3205022 operates within the wire gauge range of 16-24 AWG, which represents a subset of the 3050028's 12-26 AWG range. For applications requiring wire gauges below 16 AWG or above 24 AWG, the 3050028 specifications must be verified against system requirements. The 3205022 features IDC termination only, whereas the 3050028 supports both IDC and screw termination; applications dependent on screw termination require confirmation of compatibility with the substitute part's IDC-only configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3205022 directly replace the 3050028 in all applications?

A: The 3205022 is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications using wire gauges within the 16-24 AWG range. Applications requiring 12-15 AWG or 25-26 AWG wire gauges fall outside the 3205022 specification and require alternative solutions.

Q: What is the difference in termination capability between these parts?

A: The 3050028 supports both IDC and screw termination methods. The 3205022 supports IDC termination only. Designs requiring screw termination must confirm compatibility with the IDC-only configuration of the substitute part.

Q: Why is the 3050028 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 3205022 represents the active production alternative within the Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE terminal block family.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 3050028 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 3205022 is supplied in Box packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes may require adjustment based on packaging format.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: The 3205022 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory requirements. The 3050028 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and are suitable for their respective compliance environments.
