Phoenix Contact 3249198 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 3249198 is a 4-position terminal block from the CLIPLINE ST series, designed for direct mount applications with push-in spring termination. This middle-type terminal block operates at 24 A (IEC) and 800 V (IEC), accommodating wire gauges from 12-28 AWG (0.08-4 mm²). The part is currently in Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and maintain system compatibility for new installations and replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 3249198 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (IEC minimum 24 A), voltage rating (IEC minimum 800 V), and wire gauge accommodation (minimum 12-28 AWG or 0.08-4 mm²)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 1-level design, middle-type mounting, direct mount capability, and push-in spring termination
• Physical Compatibility: Terminal width tolerance (10.3-10.4 mm acceptable), gray housing color, and polyamide insulation material
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS3 compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1429280 qualifies as a substitute part because it meets or exceeds all critical electrical parameters, maintains identical positional and mechanical configuration, and preserves regulatory compliance standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1429280 is a direct substitute for the 3249198 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical IEC current (24 A) and voltage (800 V) ratings. The 1429280 provides enhanced UL voltage rating (800 V versus 300 V), representing a performance improvement with no compatibility risk.

Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts feature identical 4-position, 1-level middle-type configuration with push-in spring termination and direct mount capability. Terminal width variance (10.3 mm versus 10.4 mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for this product category.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 1429280 accommodates 12-26 AWG (0.14-4 mm²), which covers the primary operating range of the original part. Applications requiring 28 AWG or 0.08 mm² wire gauges represent edge-case scenarios and should be evaluated against actual system requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 3249198 is ROHS3 compliant; the 1429280 compliance status is not specified in available data.

Product Availability: The 1429280 is in Active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1429280 directly replace the 3249198 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (24 A IEC, 800 V IEC), mechanical configuration (4-position, middle-type, push-in spring), and regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0). The 0.1 mm terminal width difference is within acceptable tolerance for this product category.

Q: What is the wire gauge difference between these parts?

A: The 3249198 accommodates 12-28 AWG (0.08-4 mm²), while the 1429280 accommodates 12-26 AWG (0.14-4 mm²). The 1429280 does not support 28 AWG or 0.08 mm² wire gauges. Verify your application's wire gauge requirements before selection.

Q: Why does the 1429280 have different physical dimensions?

A: The 1429280 belongs to the CLIPLINE MPTD series, while the 3249198 is from the CLIPLINE ST series. Series differences result in dimensional variations (length: 27.30 mm versus 32.00 mm; height: 36.00 mm versus 22.00 mm). Confirm mounting space availability in your application.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 3249198 is explicitly ROHS3 compliant. The 1429280 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Consult Phoenix Contact technical documentation if ROHS3 compliance is a system requirement.

Q: What is the stripping length requirement for the 1429280?

A: The 1429280 specifies 8-10 mm stripping length, compared to 8 mm for the 3249198. This represents a minor variation in wire preparation procedure.
