Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the C7024-03 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the C7024 series. The primary substitution criterion is the maintenance of core electrical parameters: 115A current rating, 600V voltage rating, 2-8 AWG wire gauge capacity, and dual-wall barrier isolation. The 0.750" (19.05mm) pitch specification ensures mechanical interchangeability with mounting infrastructure designed for the original component.

The C7024-03 differs from substitute candidates primarily in circuit count. The original part provides 3 circuits with 2 wire entry points. Substitute parts within the C7024 series maintain identical electrical ratings, termination methods (stud-to-stud), barrier configuration, temperature rating, and flammability compliance. The key differentiator is the number of circuits available, which allows selection based on specific application requirements while preserving all critical electrical and safety characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C7024-09 serves as the active equivalent within the C7024 series for applications previously specified with the C7024-03. Both components share identical electrical ratings (115A, 600V), wire gauge capacity (2-8 AWG), termination configuration (stud-to-stud), barrier isolation (dual-wall), and safety compliance (UL94 V-0). The C7024-09 maintains the same 0.750" pitch and mounting compatibility (chassis and panel).

The primary distinction is circuit count: the C7024-09 provides 9 circuits compared to the C7024-03's 3 circuits. This expanded circuit capacity allows the substitute to accommodate applications with higher circuit density requirements while maintaining all electrical and mechanical specifications. The C7024-09 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection of the C7024-09 is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs or new installations where the C7024-03 was previously specified, provided the application can accommodate the increased circuit count or the additional circuits remain unused.
