Phoenix Contact 3056116 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3056116 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp wire entry at 90° to the panel, designed for Gray color applications. This component is classified as Obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The CLIPLINE RW series component supports wire gauges from 6-26 AWG and accommodates panel thicknesses between 0.039" and 0.236" (1.0-6.0mm).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3056116 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions Per Level: Must remain 1 position
• Wire Connection Type: Must be Bolt/Screw Clamp with Wire Entry 90° to Panel
• Panel Mount Type: Must be 2 Piece configuration
• Color: Must be Gray
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Substitute must support the wire gauge range of the original part or a subset thereof
• Panel Thickness Accommodation: Substitute panel thickness range must accommodate the original specification or be compatible with intended application requirements
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status must be maintained or upgraded

The Phoenix Contact 3073322 qualifies as a substitute based on matching core functional parameters: identical positions per level, wire connection type, panel mount configuration, and color. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited MSL ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3073322 is an active-status substitute for the obsolete 3056116. Both components share identical functional architecture: single-position configuration, bolt/screw clamp connection with 90° panel wire entry, 2-piece panel mount design, and gray color specification.

Key considerations for substitution:

• Panel Thickness Compatibility: The 3073322 accommodates panel thicknesses up to 0.157" (4.0mm), compared to the original 0.236" (6.0mm) maximum. Verify that application panel thickness does not exceed 4.0mm.
• Wire Gauge Range: The 3073322 supports 6-20 AWG, whereas the original supports 6-26 AWG. Applications requiring wire gauges larger than 20 AWG are not compatible with this substitute.
• Regulatory Status: The 3073322 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an upgrade from the original RoHS Compliant designation. REACH Unaffected status is documented for the substitute.
• Physical Dimensions: The 3073322 is narrower (0.398" vs. 0.642"), which may affect panel layout considerations in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3073322 directly replace the 3056116 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when application requirements fall within the 3073322 specifications. Panel thickness must not exceed 0.157" (4.0mm), and wire gauge must be 6-20 AWG or smaller. Physical width difference (0.398" vs. 0.642") must be evaluated for panel layout compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 3056116 is classified as Obsolete. The 3073322 is an Active product from Phoenix Contact, ensuring ongoing availability, support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3056116 is RoHS Compliant, and the 3073322 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing an enhanced compliance level.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The 3056116 has a width of 0.642" (16.30mm), while the 3073322 is 0.398" (10.10mm) wide. The 3056116 accommodates panel thicknesses up to 0.236" (6.0mm), whereas the 3073322 supports up to 0.157" (4.0mm).

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations with the substitute?

A: Yes. The 3056116 supports 6-26 AWG, while the 3073322 supports 6-20 AWG. Applications requiring wire gauges larger than 20 AWG cannot use the 3073322 as a substitute.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 3073322 is supplied in Bulk packaging, with 853 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.
