Phoenix Contact 3050316 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3050316 is a 3-position feed-through terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 14-20 AWG (0.5-2.5 mm²). This component operates at 24 A (IEC) / 15 A (UL) and 800 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL), with IDC and screw termination options. The unit features polyamide insulation rated UL94 V-0 and is housed in blue housing.

The 3050316 carries a Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3050316 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed IEC 24 A / 800 V and UL 15 A / 600 V specifications
• Mechanical Compatibility: 3-position, 1-level configuration with 6.2 mm terminal width
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 14-20 AWG (0.5-2.5 mm²) wire range
• Termination Compatibility: IDC termination capability (screw termination is secondary)
• Material & Safety Compliance: Polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The substitute part 3206461 meets all critical parameters within these allowable ranges and is classified as an active product, providing supply continuity for the discontinued 3050316.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3206461 is a direct functional equivalent to the 3050316 for all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, share identical ratings for current, voltage, and wire gauge compatibility, and maintain the same physical form factor and safety certifications.

The 3206461 differs in two non-critical aspects: termination style (IDC only versus IDC and screw) and product status (Active versus Last Time Buy). The elimination of screw termination in the substitute does not affect compatibility for applications requiring IDC termination. The active product status of the 3206461 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability.

For applications currently using the 3050316, direct substitution with the 3206461 is supported without design modification, provided that IDC termination meets application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3206461 replace the 3050316 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3206461 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the 3050316, including current, voltage, wire gauge, position count, and safety certifications. Direct substitution is supported for applications using IDC termination.

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

A: The 3050316 supports both IDC and screw termination, while the 3206461 supports IDC termination only. For applications requiring screw termination exclusively, alternative parts must be evaluated.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3050316 and 3206461 are RoHS compliant and carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Why is the 3050316 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the 3050316 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 3206461 is the active equivalent product and should be used for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the 3206461?

A: The 3206461 supports 14-20 AWG wire gauge range, equivalent to 0.5-2.5 mm² cross-sectional area.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 24 A (IEC) / 15 A (UL) and 800 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL).
