Phoenix Contact 3059210 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3059210 is a 4-position NEMA open construction terminal block with 13.0mm terminal width, designed for DIN rail mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for system maintenance and new designs requiring equivalent functionality.

The primary reason for identifying alternatives is the discontinued status of this model. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance to ensure seamless integration into existing or new applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3059210 is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current rating: 57 A (IEC) / 45 A (UL)
• Voltage rating: 800 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL)
• Wire gauge acceptance: 8-26 AWG (0.1-6mm²)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• 4-position configuration
• Single level design
• NEMA open construction type
• Gray housing color
• Polyamide (PA) nylon insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS compliant status
• UL and IEC certification alignment

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 3058237 maintains all critical electrical parameters and mechanical form factor. Differences in mounting type (DIN rail vs. direct mount) and termination style (screw vs. bolt and nut) represent functional variations that do not prevent substitution when the application permits alternative mounting and termination methods.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3058237 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 3059210 model. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (57 A IEC / 45 A UL, 800 V IEC / 600 V UL) and mechanical dimensions, ensuring functional equivalence in applications requiring 4-position NEMA open construction terminal blocks.

The 3058237 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute accepts a wider wire gauge range (0.1-10mm² vs. 0.1-6mm²), providing greater flexibility for conductor selection.

Both parts are RoHS compliant and feature identical insulation materials with UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial control and power distribution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3058237 directly replace the 3059210 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is mounting method: the 3059210 uses DIN rail mounting while the 3058237 uses direct mount. Installation feasibility depends on the available mounting infrastructure in your application.

Q: What is the difference between screw and bolt-and-nut termination?

A: The 3059210 uses screw termination for wire connection, while the 3058237 uses bolt and nut termination. Both methods provide secure electrical connections. Selection depends on your assembly process and maintenance procedures.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 57 A (IEC) / 45 A (UL) and 800 V (IEC) / 600 V (UL), with identical wire gauge acceptance of 8-26 AWG.

Q: Why does the 3058237 accept larger wire gauges?

A: The 3058237 accepts wire gauges up to 10mm² compared to 6mm² for the 3059210. This expanded range does not affect compatibility with standard conductor sizes used in the original application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3059210 and 3058237 are RoHS compliant with identical insulation materials and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.
