Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C7024-02 is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility within the Eaton C7024 barrier block family. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating of 600V
• Current rating of 115A
• Wire gauge acceptance of 2-8 AWG
• Dual wall barrier type for electrical isolation

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Pitch spacing of 0.750" (19.05mm)
• Stud termination on both top and bottom
• Chassis and panel mounting capability
• Operating temperature rating of 130°C

Compliance:

• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The C7024-08 shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the C7024-02. The primary difference is the number of circuits (8 versus 2), which represents an expansion of the same connector family rather than a fundamental design change. The C7024-08 maintains identical pitch, termination style, current and voltage ratings, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C7024-08 is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete C7024-02. Both components are manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division and belong to the same C7024 barrier block family.

Substitution Basis:

The C7024-08 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the C7024-02 across all specified parameters: voltage rating (600V), current rating (115A), wire gauge acceptance (2-8 AWG), pitch spacing (0.750"), termination style (stud on both top and bottom), barrier configuration (2 Wall Dual), mounting capability (Chassis, Panel), operating temperature (130°C), and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0).

Product Status Consideration:

The C7024-02 is classified as obsolete, while the C7024-08 is active. This status difference reflects manufacturing availability and long-term supply chain support. Selection of the C7024-08 ensures access to current production inventory and ongoing manufacturer support.

Circuit Count Difference:

The C7024-08 provides 8 circuits compared to the 2 circuits of the C7024-02. In applications requiring only 2 circuits, the C7024-08 offers additional circuit capacity within the same physical and electrical envelope. Applications may utilize only the required circuits while maintaining full compliance with all electrical and safety specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C7024-08 be used as a direct replacement for the C7024-02?

A: The C7024-08 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the C7024-02. Both components share identical voltage ratings (600V), current ratings (115A), wire gauge specifications (2-8 AWG), pitch spacing (0.750"), termination styles (stud), barrier configuration (2 Wall Dual), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0). The primary difference is circuit count: the C7024-08 provides 8 circuits versus 2 circuits in the C7024-02.

Q: What is the significance of the circuit count difference?

A: Circuit count refers to the number of independent connection points available on the barrier block. The C7024-02 provides 2 circuits, while the C7024-08 provides 8 circuits. In applications requiring only 2 circuits, the additional circuits on the C7024-08 remain unused but do not affect the electrical performance or safety characteristics of the utilized circuits.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the C7024-02 and C7024-08 are rated for 600V, 115A, and accept wire gauges from 2-8 AWG. Both employ dual-wall barrier construction for electrical isolation and operate across the same temperature range (130°C maximum).

Q: Why is the C7024-02 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The C7024-08 represents the active alternative within the same product family, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are mounting requirements the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the C7024-02 and C7024-08 support chassis and panel mounting configurations with identical stud termination on top and bottom surfaces.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components carry the UL94 V-0 flammability rating, indicating compliance with the same material safety standards.
