Phoenix Contact 3073665 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3073665 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 is part of the CLIPLINE RW series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 3073665 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (600V UL) and current capacity (65A) must be maintained
• Mechanical Configuration: 1 position per level, bolt/screw clamp connection type, 90° wire entry to panel
• Panel Mount Type: 2-piece mounting system
• Color: Gray finish
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 0709864 satisfies all these core requirements while offering an active product status. Differences in width and panel thickness tolerance ranges do not affect functional equivalence when the substitute is used within its specified mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0709864 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 3073665. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (600V UL, 65A) and mechanical configuration (1-position, bolt/screw clamp, 90° panel entry, 2-piece mount). The substitute offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 0709864 operates within a narrower panel thickness range (1.0 ~ 4.0mm versus 1.0 ~ 6.0mm) and has a reduced width (10.10mm versus 16.30mm). These dimensional differences do not affect functional equivalence when the substitute is applied to panel installations within its specified mechanical envelope. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 0709864 directly replace the 3073665 in all applications?

A: The 0709864 is functionally equivalent for electrical performance. However, panel thickness compatibility must be verified. The 3073665 accommodates panels up to 6.0mm thick, while the 0709864 is limited to 4.0mm maximum. If the original installation uses panels thicker than 4.0mm, the substitute cannot be used without panel modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), series designation (CLIPLINE RW versus CLIPLINE HDFK), width (16.30mm versus 10.10mm), and panel thickness tolerance range. Electrical ratings and mechanical connection type are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when substituting?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The substitute carries ROHS3 certification, which represents current environmental compliance standards. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does the narrower width of the 0709864 affect installation?

A: The reduced width may affect panel layout if space allocation was designed around the original 16.30mm width. Panel integration should be verified during design review.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for the substitute?

A: The 0709864 accepts wire gauges 6-24 AWG, which covers standard industrial wiring applications within the 65A current rating.
