Phoenix Contact 3244264 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3244264 is a 2-position terminal block from the CLIPLINE MSB series, designed for direct mount applications with spring cage termination. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The part features a 5.2mm terminal width, supports 30A at 800V (IEC) and 15A at 600V (UL), and accommodates wire gauges from 14-26 AWG (0.08-4mm²). Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary due to the Last Time Buy status and potential future unavailability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3244264 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions & Levels: Must be 2 positions, 1 level
• Terminal Width: Must be 5.2mm
• Mounting Type: Must be Direct Mount
• Termination Style: Spring cage or compatible push-in spring termination
• Voltage Rating (IEC): Minimum 800V
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 14-26 AWG range or equivalent metric range
• Housing Color: Black and Yellow configuration
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA) or Nylon with UL94 V-0 rating

The Phoenix Contact 3249007 from the CLIPLINE MPT series meets these substitution criteria. While the current rating differs (24A IEC vs. 30A IEC), the voltage ratings are equal or superior (800V IEC and UL), and the termination style (Push In, Spring) is compatible with spring cage applications. The wire gauge range (12-26 AWG) encompasses the original specification, and all material and compliance certifications match.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3249007 is a valid substitute for the 3244264 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications requiring these certifications.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part meets or exceeds voltage requirements across both IEC (800V) and UL (800V) standards. The current rating reduction from 30A to 24A (IEC) requires verification against application load specifications. The UL current rating of the substitute (20A) exceeds the original (15A), providing improved performance under UL standards.

Physical & Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical 2-position, 5.2mm terminal width, and direct mount configuration, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in existing PCB layouts and enclosures.

Product Status Advantage: The 3249007 carries Active product status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Termination Technology: The Push In, Spring termination of the substitute is functionally compatible with spring cage applications, maintaining connection reliability and ease of installation.

Selection of the 3249007 is appropriate for new designs and end-of-life mitigation strategies for the 3244264, provided application current requirements do not exceed 24A at IEC ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3249007 be used as a direct replacement for the 3244264 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 3249007 is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution. Both parts feature identical 2-position, 5.2mm terminal configurations and direct mount design. Verify that your application current requirements do not exceed 24A at IEC ratings, as this is the primary electrical difference.

Q: What is the main difference between the original and substitute part?

A: The primary difference is the current rating: the original 3244264 supports 30A at IEC standards, while the 3249007 supports 24A at IEC standards. Voltage ratings are equivalent or superior in the substitute. Both parts use compatible spring-based termination technologies.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Regulatory and safety certifications are equivalent.

Q: Does the wire gauge range differ between these parts?

A: The substitute part (3249007) accepts a slightly broader wire gauge range: 12-26 AWG versus 14-26 AWG in the original. This provides greater flexibility for wire selection while maintaining full compatibility with the original specification range.

Q: Why is the original part marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the 3244264 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 3249007 from the CLIPLINE MPT series is the recommended active alternative, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences?

A: Yes. The 3244264 measures 1.260" (32.00mm) in length and 0.866" (22.00mm) in height. The 3249007 measures 1.071" (27.21mm) in length and 1.417" (36.00mm) in height. Verify that these dimensional changes are compatible with your PCB layout and enclosure design.

Q: Can I use the 3249007 in high-current applications requiring 30A?

A: No. The 3249007 is rated for 24A at IEC standards. For applications requiring 30A, alternative terminal block solutions must be evaluated. The current rating is a critical selection parameter and cannot be exceeded.
