Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the ABB SPAJ 142C is unavailable or discontinued, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or direct replacements depending on your relay configuration:
- ABB SPAJ 141C — Earlier revision terminal module; verify pin-out compatibility before substitution
- ABB SPAJ 143C — Later revision with extended terminal capacity; backward-compatible in most installations
- ABB SPAM 150C Terminal Module — Compatible with SPAM-series relays; cross-check wiring diagram
- ABB SPAS 120 Terminal Block — Suitable for SPAS-series protection relays
- Generic DIN Terminal Module (IEC 60255-compliant) — Third-party equivalents available; confirm mechanical dimensions and terminal pitch
Note: Always verify relay model, firmware version, and wiring diagram before substituting terminal modules. Contact Konmask technical support for cross-reference assistance.

System Compatibility
| Relay Model | SPAJ 142C Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ABB SPAJ 140C | ✅ Yes | Primary application |
| ABB SPAJ 141C | ✅ Yes | Verify terminal count |
| ABB SPAJ 143C | ⚠️ Partial | Check wiring diagram |
| ABB SPAM 150C | ⚠️ Partial | Mechanical fit check required |
| ABB SPAS 120 | ❌ No | Different terminal series |
| Third-party IEC relays | ❌ Not recommended | Use generic DIN module instead |
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the correct terminal module for your application:
- Step 1 — Identify your relay model: Locate the relay nameplate (e.g., SPAJ 140C, SPAJ 141C). The terminal module must match the relay series.
- Step 2 — Check terminal count: Confirm the number of I/O terminals required by your protection scheme (binary inputs, trip outputs, signal outputs).
- Step 3 — Verify auxiliary voltage: Ensure the terminal module is rated for your panel’s auxiliary supply (110 V DC, 220 V DC, or 110 V AC).
- Step 4 — Review wiring diagram: Cross-reference ABB relay wiring diagram (available on request) before ordering.
- Step 5 — Confirm availability: Contact Konmask for stock status, lead time, and alternative sourcing if the original part is on allocation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use SPAJ 141C as a direct replacement for SPAJ 142C?
A: In most cases yes, but verify the terminal pin-out and screw torque specifications match your relay wiring diagram before installation.
Q: Is the SPAJ 142C still in production?
A: ABB has transitioned some SPAJ-series components to end-of-life status. Konmask maintains stock of both new and refurbished units. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can I use a generic terminal module instead of the ABB original?
A: Generic IEC-compliant modules may be used in non-critical auxiliary circuits, but are not recommended for primary protection relay terminations due to certification and traceability requirements.
Q: Do you provide installation documentation?
A: Yes. ABB relay wiring diagrams and terminal module installation guides are available upon request with every order.
Q: What is the return policy?
A: Unused items in original condition may be returned within 30 days. Custom-sourced or special-order items are non-returnable.
