Phoenix Contact 3075090 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3075090 is a 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp connection, designed for panel mounting with wire entry parallel to the panel on the front and 90° to the panel on the rear. 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 600 V UL with a current rating of 115 A and is housed in gray polymer with a 2-piece snap lock mounting configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3075090 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Ratings: Voltage (600 V UL) and current capacity (minimum 112.5 A) must meet or exceed the original specification
• Mechanical Configuration: 1-position terminal block with bolt/screw clamp connection type
• Wire Entry Orientation: Front panel entry parallel to panel and rear panel entry 90° to panel
• Panel Mounting: 2-piece mounting system compatible with panel thickness range of 0.039 ~ 0.236" (1.0 ~ 6.0 mm)
• Physical Dimensions: Width and form factor must accommodate existing panel cutouts and mounting locations
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and equivalent regulatory certifications (ECCN, HTSUS codes)

The Phoenix Contact 3075090 has one identified substitute: part number 3073445 from the UWV series. This substitute maintains electrical equivalence, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3073445 (UWV series) is the identified substitute for the obsolete 3075090 (CLIPLINE RW series). Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain 600 V UL voltage rating. The current rating difference of 2.5 A (115 A vs. 112.5 A) is within acceptable tolerance for most industrial applications and does not compromise system performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical 1-position bolt/screw clamp configuration with parallel front panel and 90° rear panel wire entry. Panel thickness accommodation is identical (0.039 ~ 0.236"). The width reduction from 20.30 mm to 15.00 mm requires verification that existing panel cutouts and mounting locations can accommodate the narrower form factor.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant with matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing.

Product Status Advantage: The 3073445 is active product status with documented inventory availability (1041 pcs), compared to the obsolete 3075090. This ensures long-term supply chain reliability and technical support continuity.

Mounting Configuration: Both use 2-piece mounting systems. The 3075090 specifies snap lock; the 3073445 specifies 2-piece without explicit snap lock notation. Mechanical compatibility of the mounting interface must be confirmed during implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3073445 directly replace the 3075090 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed. Physical installation compatibility depends on panel cutout dimensions. The 3073445 is 4.30 mm narrower (15.00 mm vs. 20.30 mm width), which may require panel modification or adapter consideration. Mounting interface compatibility between the snap lock mechanism of the 3075090 and the 2-piece mounting of the 3073445 must be verified for your specific panel configuration.

Q: Are there any current rating limitations when using the 3073445 as a substitute?

A: The 3073445 is rated at 112.5 A compared to the 3075090 at 115 A. This 2.5 A difference is negligible for standard industrial applications. If your system operates at or near the 115 A maximum, the substitute's 112.5 A rating should be evaluated against actual circuit requirements.

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

A: The 3073445 accepts wire gauges 2-10 AWG. The original 3075090 does not specify wire gauge in available documentation. Verify that your existing wire gauge falls within the 2-10 AWG range for the substitute.

Q: Why is the 3075090 obsolete, and what does this mean for my system?

A: The 3075090 (CLIPLINE RW series) has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. Obsolete status means no new production, limited inventory availability, and potential discontinuation of technical support. The 3073445 (UWV series) is the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 3075090 and 3073445 are RoHS compliant. They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What should I verify before implementing the 3073445 as a substitute?

A: Confirm panel cutout dimensions accommodate the 15.00 mm width of the 3073445. Verify mounting interface compatibility between the snap lock mechanism and 2-piece mounting systems. Confirm wire gauge requirements fall within 2-10 AWG specification. Validate that 112.5 A current rating meets circuit requirements.
