Phoenix Contact 3056284 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3056284 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp wire entry at 90° to the panel, rated for 600V UL and 65A current. This component belongs to the CLIPLINE RW series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3056284 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (600V UL) and current capacity (65A) must be maintained or exceeded
• Mechanical Configuration: 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp connection
• Wire Entry Orientation: 90° to panel mounting surface
• Panel Mount Type: 2-piece mounting system
• Connection Type: Bolt/screw clamp for both front and rear panel wire connections
• Color: Gray housing
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 0709864 meets these core functional requirements while offering an active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0709864 serves as a functional equivalent to the obsolete 3056284 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical voltage (600V UL) and current (65A) ratings, ensuring electrical performance equivalence in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature 1-position terminal block configuration with bolt/screw clamp connections and 90° wire entry orientation to the panel. The 2-piece mounting system is present in both designs, though the substitute uses a standard 2-piece mount versus the snap lock variant in the original.

Physical Considerations: The substitute part (0709864) has a reduced width of 0.398" (10.10mm) compared to the original 0.642" (16.30mm). The panel thickness acceptance range is narrower in the substitute (1.0 ~ 4.0mm versus 1.0 ~ 6.0mm). These dimensional differences require verification against specific panel mounting requirements.

Compliance Status: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), representing improved environmental and handling compliance compared to the original part's RoHS Compliant status.

Product Availability: The substitute part maintains active product status with 655 units in stock, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 0709864 directly replace 3056284 in existing installations?

A: Functional replacement is possible based on matching electrical ratings (600V, 65A) and connection type (bolt/screw clamp, 1-position). However, physical dimensions differ. Verify that panel thickness falls within the substitute's range (1.0 ~ 4.0mm) and that the reduced width (10.10mm versus 16.30mm) accommodates the available mounting space.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal blocks?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), series designation (CLIPLINE RW versus CLIPLINE HDFK), physical width, panel thickness compatibility range, and compliance certifications. Electrical and connection specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Does the narrower panel thickness range of 0709864 affect compatibility?

A: The substitute accepts panels from 1.0 ~ 4.0mm thickness, while the original accepts 1.0 ~ 6.0mm. If your application requires panel thickness between 4.0 ~ 6.0mm, the substitute will not be compatible. Measure panel thickness before selection.

Q: Are there wire gauge specifications for the original part?

A: The original 3056284 does not specify wire gauge in the provided documentation. The substitute 0709864 accepts 6-24 AWG wire. Consult Phoenix Contact technical documentation or contact the manufacturer for original part wire gauge specifications if this parameter is critical to your application.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The substitute part carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture resistance and handling flexibility compared to the original part's "Not Applicable" rating. This represents improved environmental performance for storage and transportation.
