Phoenix Contact 3056132 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3056132 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp wire entry at 90° to the panel, rated for 600V UL and 115A current. This component is part of the CLIPLINE RW series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3073364 qualifies as a substitute for the 3056132 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Both parts maintain 600V UL voltage rating and support high-current applications (115A for 3056132, 112.5A for 3073364)
• Mechanical Configuration: Both feature 1 position per level, 2-piece panel mount design, and bolt/screw clamp wire entry at 90° to the panel
• Panel Compatibility: Both accept panel thickness of 0.039" to 0.236" (1.0 to 6.0mm)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both support wire gauges within the 2-14 AWG range (3073364 supports 2-10 AWG, which is a subset of the original specification)

The primary difference is the width dimension (20.30mm for 3056132 versus 15.10mm for 3073364) and the series designation (CLIPLINE RW versus CLIPLINE UW). The 3073364 is currently active in production, making it the recommended substitute for the obsolete 3056132.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3073364 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 3056132. Selection of the 3073364 is supported by:

• Product Status: The 3073364 is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4030)
• Electrical Performance: The 3073364 maintains the 600V UL rating and delivers 112.5A current capacity, which is within 2% of the original 115A specification
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical panel mount configurations and panel thickness tolerances, ensuring direct mechanical fit in existing installations
• Wire Gauge Consideration: The 3073364 supports 2-10 AWG wire gauges. Applications requiring wire gauges larger than 10 AWG should be evaluated against the original 2-14 AWG specification of the 3056132

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3073364 directly replace the 3056132 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (600V UL), mechanical configurations (1 position, 2-piece panel mount), and panel thickness tolerances (0.039" to 0.236"). The primary difference is the width dimension (15.10mm versus 20.30mm), which may require panel layout verification in space-constrained applications.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the two parts?

A: The 3056132 supports 2-14 AWG wire gauges, while the 3073364 supports 2-10 AWG. For applications using wire gauges 12 or 14 AWG, the 3073364 remains compatible. Applications requiring 12 or 14 AWG wires should confirm that the 3073364 accommodates the intended wire size within the specified range.

Q: Why is the 3056132 classified as obsolete?

A: The 3056132 belongs to the CLIPLINE RW series, which has been superseded by the CLIPLINE UW series (represented by the 3073364). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series, making the 3056132 obsolete.

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

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The 3056132 is obsolete with 990 pieces in stock. The 3073364 is active in production with 848 pieces currently in stock, providing reliable long-term availability.
