Phoenix Contact 3215054 Terminal Block Ground Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3215054 is a 2-position ground terminal block connector rated for 6-20 AWG wire gauges (0.5-16mm²). This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs. The CLIPLINE UT series ground connector features screw termination, polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and is RoHS compliant. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing active alternatives is necessary for procurement and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3044173 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3215054 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical electrical specifications: Both support 6-20 AWG wire gauge range (0.5-16mm²)
• Identical mechanical configuration: 2-position, 1-level ground terminal block with 10.2mm terminal width
• Identical termination method: Screw termination with 10mm stripping length
• Identical material and safety ratings: Polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Identical color coding: Green and Yellow ground identification
• Same series: Both belong to the CLIPLINE UT product line
• Same manufacturer: Phoenix Contact

The primary distinction is product status: the 3215054 is obsolete, while the 3044173 is active. The 3044173 includes additional current rating specification (57 A IEC) and updated compliance documentation (ROHS3, REACH Affected), reflecting current manufacturing standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3044173 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the 3215054. The substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters: wire gauge capacity, termination method, insulation material, and safety ratings.

The 3044173 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support from Phoenix Contact. The component meets current regulatory requirements with ROHS3 compliance and REACH documentation, suitable for applications subject to modern environmental and safety standards.

The specified current rating of 57 A (IEC) for the 3044173 provides explicit electrical performance documentation, whereas the 3215054 did not include this specification. This additional data supports design verification and system-level electrical calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3044173 directly replace the 3215054 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge capacity (6-20 AWG / 0.5-16mm²), termination method (screw), mechanical dimensions (10.2mm terminal width), insulation material (polyamide), and safety ratings (UL94 V-0). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The 3215054 is no longer manufactured or supported by Phoenix Contact. The 3044173 is the current production equivalent, ensuring long-term availability, technical support, and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 3215054 packaging specification is not provided. The 3044173 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the 57 A current rating of the 3044173 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 57 A specification for the 3044173 represents explicit documentation of electrical performance. This rating applies to the same physical component and does not alter mechanical or electrical compatibility with applications designed for the 3215054.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3215054 carries RoHS compliance. The 3044173 carries ROHS3 compliance, reflecting updated regulatory standards. Both meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
