DP230-GY Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP230-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 applications requiring screw termination of conductors in the 4/0-2 AWG range with rated performance at 232 A (IEC) and 1000V (IEC). The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DP230-GY is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 2
• Number of levels: 1
• Terminal width: 25.0 mm
• Termination style: Screw
• Wire gauge range: 4/0-2 AWG (35-95 mm²)
• Current rating (IEC): 232 A minimum
• Voltage rating (IEC): 1000 V minimum
• Voltage rating (UL): 600 V minimum
• Insulation material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Type: Feed Through

The substitute part 3010013 (Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE UKH series) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence with the DP230-GY.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3010013 terminal block is a functionally equivalent substitute for the obsolete DP230-GY based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and safety certifications.

Selection Basis:

• Both components meet identical IEC and UL electrical specifications (232 A / 1000 V IEC; 230 A / 600 V UL)
• Both feature 2-position, single-level feed-through configuration with 25.0 mm terminal width
• Both employ screw termination for the 4/0-2 AWG wire gauge range
• Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating for insulation material
• The 3010013 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new installations and replacements

Installation Consideration:

The 3010013 specifies a 33 mm stripping length compared to the DP230-GY's 12 mm requirement. Installation procedures must account for this difference in conductor preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3010013 directly replace the DP230-GY in existing installations?

A: The 3010013 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for functional equivalence. The primary installation difference is the stripping length requirement (33 mm versus 12 mm), which must be accommodated during conductor preparation.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these two components?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 232 A at 1000 V (IEC) and 230 A at 600 V (UL), with identical wire gauge acceptance (4/0-2 AWG).

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference (35-95 mm² versus 25-95 mm²)?

A: The 3010013 accepts a wider lower range (25 mm² minimum versus 35 mm² minimum). This represents an expanded capability and does not restrict its use in applications designed for the DP230-GY.

Q: Does the 3010013 carry the same safety certifications?

A: Both components achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 3010013 additionally carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, reflecting current regulatory standards.

Q: Why is the stripping length different between these components?

A: Stripping length is a design parameter specific to each manufacturer's terminal block architecture. The 33 mm requirement for the 3010013 must be observed during installation to ensure proper conductor seating and electrical contact.

Q: Is the 3010013 available in the same packaging as the DP230-GY?

A: The DP230-GY packaging information is not specified in the available data. The 3010013 is supplied in bulk packaging.
