Phoenix Contact 3075016 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3075016 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp connection and wire entry parallel to the panel. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 600V UL with a current rating of 115A and is housed in a gray polymer body with a 2-piece panel mount configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3075016 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (600V UL) and current capacity (minimum 112.5A) must meet or exceed the original specification
• Mechanical Configuration: 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp connection
• Panel Mount Type: 2-piece panel mount system
• Panel Thickness Compatibility: 0.039 ~ 0.236" (1.0 ~ 6.0mm)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant status required
• Connection Type: Wire entry configuration must support parallel-to-panel or 90°-to-panel orientations

The Phoenix Contact 3073445 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, panel mount type, panel thickness range, and regulatory compliance. The 3073445 operates at the same 600V UL voltage with a current rating of 112.5A, which remains within acceptable operating parameters for applications designed for the original 115A specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3073445 is an active-status substitute for the obsolete 3075016. Both components maintain identical voltage ratings (600V UL) and comparable current ratings (112.5A vs. 115A), with the substitute providing a 2.2% reduction in current capacity. Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

The primary design consideration is the rear panel wire connection orientation: the original 3075016 features parallel-to-panel entry, while the 3073445 provides 90°-to-panel entry on the rear. The front panel connection remains parallel-to-panel for both parts. Additionally, the 3073445 has a reduced width of 0.591" (15.00mm) compared to the original 0.799" (20.30mm), which may affect panel layout compatibility.

Panel thickness compatibility remains identical at 0.039 ~ 0.236" (1.0 ~ 6.0mm) for both components, and both utilize 2-piece panel mount systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3073445 directly replace the 3075016 in existing installations?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed based on matching voltage ratings and comparable current capacity. However, physical layout must be verified due to differences in width (20.30mm vs. 15.00mm) and rear panel wire entry orientation (parallel vs. 90°). Panel mounting compatibility depends on the specific installation geometry.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between 115A and 112.5A?

A: The 3073445 operates at 112.5A, representing a 2.2% reduction from the original 115A specification. This difference remains within acceptable operating margins for most applications designed for the original part, provided the application does not operate at the maximum current threshold.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 3075016 and 3073445 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference between parallel and 90° wire entry configurations?

A: Parallel-to-panel wire entry means conductors approach the terminal block along the panel surface. 90°-to-panel entry means conductors approach perpendicular to the panel surface. The 3073445 differs from the original in rear panel configuration only; front panel entry remains parallel for both parts.

Q: Why is the 3075016 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Phoenix Contact. The 3073445, classified as active, represents the current production alternative within the Phoenix Contact terminal block portfolio.
