Phoenix Contact 3249017 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3249017 is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector designed for wire gauges 12-28 AWG (0.08-4 mm²). It features push-in spring termination with a 5.2 mm terminal width and operates at 24 A (IEC) / 20 A (UL) with voltage ratings of 800V (IEC) / 600V (UL). The connector is constructed from polyamide (PA) nylon with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and is ROHS3 compliant.

This part carries a Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3249017 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 2
• Number of levels: 1
• Terminal width: 5.2 mm
• Termination style: Push In, Spring
• Type: Feed Through
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Color: Gray

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Wire gauge range: Substitute must accommodate the main part's wire gauge range or a subset thereof
• Current and voltage ratings: Substitute must meet or exceed the main part's ratings
• Stripping length: Minor variations acceptable within standard manufacturing tolerances

The Phoenix Contact 1073602 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory criteria and meeting or exceeding electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1073602 is the recommended substitute for the 3249017. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters, including terminal configuration, current and voltage ratings, and material composition.

The 1073602 offers the advantage of Active product status, ensuring continued availability and long-term supply chain reliability. The substitute maintains full compatibility with applications designed for the 3249017, with the following considerations:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 1073602 supports 12-26 AWG, which covers the majority of the 3249017's range. Applications requiring 28 AWG wire termination should be evaluated for alternative solutions.

Voltage Enhancement: The 1073602 provides 800V UL rating compared to the 3249017's 600V UL rating, offering improved performance margin in UL-regulated applications.

Stripping Length Tolerance: The 1073602 accepts 8-10 mm stripping length versus the 3249017's fixed 8 mm specification. This expanded tolerance may simplify field installation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1073602 directly replace the 3249017 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges 12-26 AWG. The connectors are mechanically and electrically equivalent across all critical parameters. Applications specifically requiring 28 AWG wire support should be individually assessed.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (CLIPLINE MSBV vs. CLIPLINE MPT)?

A: Series designation indicates product line evolution within Phoenix Contact's terminal block portfolio. Both series maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for this 2-position configuration, ensuring functional interchangeability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. The 1073602 provides enhanced UL voltage rating (800V vs. 600V), which may be advantageous in certain regulatory or application contexts.

Q: What is the impact of the expanded stripping length tolerance on installation?

A: The 1073602's 8-10 mm stripping length tolerance provides flexibility in field termination compared to the 3249017's fixed 8 mm requirement. This may reduce installation variability but does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Why is the 3249017 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of this part number. The 1073602 represents the active product line continuation, ensuring future availability and support.
