Phoenix Contact 3073610 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3073610 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp wire entry at 90° to the panel, rated for 600V UL and 115A current capacity. 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 design provides secure wire termination with gray housing and supports wire gauges from 2-14 AWG.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3073610 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (600V UL) and current capacity must meet or exceed the original specification
• Wire Connection Method: Bolt/screw clamp with 90° panel wire entry configuration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel thickness range (0.039 - 0.236"), 2-piece panel mount design, and single position per level
• Wire Gauge Support: Acceptable wire gauge range for the application
• Housing Color and Material: Gray housing with RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 3073377 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings, connection method, panel compatibility, and compliance certifications. Differences in width (0.594" vs 0.799"), current capacity (112.5A vs 115A), and wire gauge range (2-10 AWG vs 2-14 AWG) represent design variations within the same functional category and do not preclude substitution when application requirements fall within the substitute's specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3073377 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 3073610 terminal block. The substitute maintains identical electrical ratings (600V, 112.5A), matching wire connection methodology, and equivalent panel mounting specifications. Both components are RoHS compliant and feature identical panel thickness compatibility ranges.

Selection of the 3073377 is appropriate when the application wire gauge requirement does not exceed 10 AWG and when the reduced width (0.594" versus 0.799") is compatible with panel layout constraints. The active product status of the 3073377 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 3073610.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3073377 directly replace the 3073610 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement is possible when application wire gauges remain within the 2-10 AWG range supported by the 3073377. Panel mounting compatibility is maintained through identical 2-piece mount design and panel thickness range specifications. The reduced width of the 3073377 must be verified against panel layout requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (115A vs 112.5A)?

A: The 2.5A difference represents a design variation between the CLIPLINE RW and CLIPLINE UW series. Applications operating below 112.5A experience no functional impact. Applications requiring the full 115A capacity of the original part may require alternative solutions.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the wire gauge range reduction (2-14 AWG to 2-10 AWG)?

A: The 3073377 does not accommodate 12 or 14 AWG wire sizes. Applications utilizing these larger gauges require alternative components or design modification to accommodate smaller wire gauges within the 2-10 AWG range.

Q: How does the width difference affect panel integration?

A: The 3073377 width of 0.594" is 0.205" narrower than the 3073610 width of 0.799". Panel cutout and mounting hole spacing must be verified for compatibility. The narrower profile may provide space optimization benefits in constrained panel layouts.

Q: Are both components suitable for new designs?

A: The 3073377 is the appropriate choice for new designs due to its active product status. The 3073610 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.
