250 235 Series 3.81mm 5.08mm PCB Terminal Block — Pluggable Industrial Connector
250 & 235 Series 3.81mm & 5.08mm PCB Terminal Blocks — Phoenix Contact-Compatible Pluggable Industrial Connectors
The 250 and 235 series PCB terminal blocks in 3.81mm and 5.08mm pitch are dimensionally compatible with Phoenix Contact 250 and 235 series terminal blocks, the global standard for industrial pluggable PCB connectors. These are the preferred choice for engineers designing equipment to Phoenix Contact footprint standards, or replacing/upgrading existing Phoenix Contact terminal blocks with cost-effective alternatives. The two-part pluggable design (PCB-mounted male header + field-wireable female plug) provides the same plug-out serviceability as the Phoenix Contact originals.

Phoenix Contact Compatibility
Our 250/235 series terminal blocks are manufactured to Phoenix Contact dimensional standards, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility and mechanical interchangeability with genuine Phoenix Contact 250 and 235 series components. This makes them ideal for: replacement parts in existing Phoenix Contact-based equipment, cost-optimized alternatives for new designs using Phoenix Contact footprints, and mixed installations where some positions use genuine Phoenix Contact and others use our compatible alternatives.
Ideal Applications
- Phoenix Contact-compatible industrial control panel PCB wiring
- Replacement terminal blocks for existing Phoenix Contact-based equipment
- New designs using Phoenix Contact 250/235 series EDA library footprints
- Industrial automation, PLC, and motion control system wiring
- Cost-optimized alternatives to genuine Phoenix Contact components
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these 100% compatible with genuine Phoenix Contact 250/235 series?
A: Our 250/235 series terminal blocks are manufactured to Phoenix Contact dimensional standards for PCB footprint and mechanical compatibility. Electrical ratings are equivalent. For safety-critical applications, verify compliance with your specific certification requirements.
Q: What is the difference between 250 series (3.81mm) and 235 series (5.08mm)?
A: 250 series uses a 3.81mm pitch for compact control wiring (rated 300V/10A). 235 series uses a 5.08mm pitch for higher-current power wiring (rated 300V/15A). Choose based on your PCB footprint and current requirements.
