Phoenix Contact 3204049 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3204049 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 16-22 AWG (0.34-1.5 mm²). This component belongs to the CLIPLINE QT series and features IDC termination with polyamide insulation rated UL94 V-0. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance specifications while accommodating the mechanical and connectivity requirements of the original application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 3204049 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Current rating (IEC): minimum 17.5 A
• Voltage rating (IEC): minimum 800 V
• Current rating (UL): minimum 10 A
• Voltage rating (UL): minimum 600 V

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Number of positions: 2
• Type: Feed Through
• Termination style: IDC
• Material insulation: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate wire gauges within or overlapping the 16-22 AWG range. Substitute parts with extended wire gauge ranges (such as 16-24 AWG) remain compatible provided the lower and upper bounds encompass the original specification.

Regulatory and Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS compliance status
• REACH compliance status
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3205022 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3204049 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Performance: Both parts maintain identical current and voltage ratings under IEC and UL standards (17.5 A / 800 V IEC; 10 A / 600 V UL), ensuring equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature 2-position feed-through configuration with IDC termination, identical insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon), and matching UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Terminal width differs (6.2 mm vs. 5.2 mm), reflecting design evolution within the CLIPLINE product family.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 3205022 supports an extended wire gauge range (16-24 AWG vs. 16-22 AWG), providing broader compatibility while maintaining full support for the original 16-22 AWG specification.

Regulatory Compliance: The 3205022 maintains RoHS and REACH compliance with updated ROHS3 certification, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Product Status Advantage: The 3205022 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete 3204049.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3205022 directly replace the 3204049 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (17.5 A / 800 V IEC; 10 A / 600 V UL), matching termination style (IDC), insulation material (Polyamide), and flammability certification (UL94 V-0). The 3205022 accommodates the full 16-22 AWG wire gauge range of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the extended wire gauge range in the 3205022?

A: The 3205022 supports 16-24 AWG (0.25-1.5 mm²) compared to the 3204049's 16-22 AWG (0.34-1.5 mm²). This extended range provides design flexibility for applications using smaller gauge conductors while maintaining full compatibility with the original 16-22 AWG specification.

Q: How do the terminal width differences affect substitution?

A: The 3204049 features 6.2 mm terminal width while the 3205022 has 5.2 mm width. These dimensions reflect design updates within the CLIPLINE product family. Substitution compatibility depends on mechanical mounting and spacing requirements of the specific application. Both maintain identical electrical and functional characteristics.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS and REACH compliant. The 3205022 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both maintain MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Why is the 3204049 listed as Obsolete?

A: The 3204049 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 3205022 represents the current active equivalent within the CLIPLINE terminal block product line, ensuring ongoing supply availability and support.
