Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3070024 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3070037 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 20 A current rating at 500 V IEC voltage
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 3-position, 2-level configuration with 6.2 mm terminal width and screw termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both accept 10-26 AWG (0.14-6 mm²) conductors with 9 mm stripping length
• Physical Characteristics: Matching gray polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series Continuity: Both belong to the CLIPLINE UT series

The substitution is based strictly on these matching parameters. The 3070024 differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3070024 is the designated active equivalent for the obsolete 3070037. Selection criteria are based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 3070037 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 3070024 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 3070024 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL Level 1 rating.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All functional parameters—current rating, voltage rating, wire gauge acceptance, terminal configuration, and termination method—are identical between the two parts.

Packaging Consideration: The 3070024 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 3070037 packaging specification is not provided. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3070024 directly replace the 3070037 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 3070024 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 3070037. All critical parameters—20 A current rating, 500 V voltage rating, 3-position configuration, 10-26 AWG wire gauge acceptance, and screw termination—are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 3070037 is classified as obsolete. The 3070024 is the active equivalent part from Phoenix Contact, ensuring continued availability and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 3070024 carries ROHS3 certification, reflecting current regulatory requirements. Both maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Will the 3070024 fit the same mounting and wiring configuration?

A: Yes. Terminal width (6.2 mm), stripping length (9 mm), and all mechanical dimensions are identical. Screw termination and disconnect configuration remain unchanged.

Q: Is there a difference in wire gauge compatibility?

A: No. Both parts accept 10-26 AWG (0.14-6 mm²) conductors with identical 9 mm stripping length requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 3070037 has 711 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 3070024 has 902 pieces in stock (active status), providing greater availability for new procurement.
