Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 3007042 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3216079 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical current and voltage ratings (IEC: 26 A / 400 V; UL: 25 A / 300 V)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching position count (4), level count (2), terminal width (6.2 mm), and wire gauge range (12–26 AWG / 0.2–4 mm²)
• Functional Equivalence: Both are disconnect, feed-through terminal blocks with open disconnect type and screw termination
• Material & Safety: Identical insulation material (polyamide/nylon) and flammability rating (UL94 V-2)
• Series Continuity: Both belong to the CLIPLINE UKK series

The 3007042 is an active product with current manufacturing status, providing supply chain continuity for applications previously using the obsolete 3216079.

Parameter Comparison
