DP150-GY Terminal Block Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP150-GY is a 2-position feed-through terminal block connector manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, part of the Magnum® DP series. This component is designed for electrical connections handling wire gauges from 1/0 to 12 AWG with a rated current capacity of 150 A at both IEC and UL standards. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DP150-GY is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent or compatible:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (150 A minimum), voltage rating (1000 V IEC / 600 V UL minimum)
• Physical Configuration: 2-position, 1-level feed-through design with 16.0 mm terminal width
• Termination Method: Screw-type termination
• Wire Compatibility: Support for wire gauges within or overlapping the 1/0-12 AWG range
• Material & Safety: Polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Mechanical Fit: Compatible connector body dimensions and mounting interface

The Phoenix Contact 3047727 (CLIPLINE UT series) meets these substitution criteria while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with the DP150-GY.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3047727 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DP150-GY. Both components share identical electrical ratings (150 A / 1000 V IEC, 150 A / 600 V UL), physical configuration (2-position, 16.0 mm terminal width), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0). The 3047727 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Key considerations for selection:

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 3047727 supports an extended wire gauge range (1/0-14 AWG vs. 1/0-12 AWG), providing broader application flexibility while maintaining full compatibility with the original DP150-GY specification range.
• Stripping Length Difference: The 3047727 requires 18 mm wire stripping versus 12 mm for the DP150-GY. Installation procedures must account for this 6 mm difference.
• Environmental Compliance: The 3047727 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for new equipment designs and replacements.
• Supply Availability: With 1099 units in stock versus 796 units of the obsolete DP150-GY, the 3047727 offers superior availability for immediate deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3047727 be used as a direct replacement for the DP150-GY in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (150 A current, 1000 V IEC voltage rating) and share the same 2-position, feed-through configuration with 16.0 mm terminal width and screw termination. Physical mounting and electrical performance are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire gauge ranges (1/0-12 AWG vs. 1/0-14 AWG)?

A: The DP150-GY accepts wire gauges from 1/0 to 12 AWG (2.5-50 mm²). The 3047727 extends this range to 14 AWG (1.5-50 mm²), meaning it can accommodate smaller gauge wires. For applications using only 1/0-12 AWG wire, both components are fully compatible. The extended range of the 3047727 provides additional flexibility for future applications.

Q: Why does the 3047727 require 18 mm stripping length instead of 12 mm?

A: Stripping length is determined by the internal terminal design and contact geometry. The 3047727 requires 6 mm additional stripping to ensure proper wire seating and electrical contact. Installation procedures must be adjusted accordingly when transitioning from DP150-GY to 3047727.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these components?

A: Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and meet electrical safety standards. The 3047727 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to current environmental regulations. The DP150-GY compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these components?

A: The DP150-GY is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The 3047727 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect ordering quantities and logistics considerations.

Q: Is the 3047727 suitable for both IEC and UL applications?

A: Yes. The 3047727 meets both IEC standards (150 A / 1000 V) and UL standards (150 A / 600 V), identical to the DP150-GY. It is suitable for applications requiring either certification standard.
