• PCB Terminal Blocks and PCB Connectors: Designed for direct connection to printed circuit boards, facilitating the interface between electronic components and external wiring. They offer various pitches, orientations (horizontal, vertical), and connection technologies.

• Industrial Circular Connectors (M5, M8, M12, M23, M40, etc.): Robust connectors for field devices, sensors, actuators, and industrial networks. They provide secure data, signal, and power transmission even in harsh environments, often with high IP ratings (IP65, IP67, IP69K).

• Heavy-Duty Connectors: Used for demanding applications where high currents, voltages, or mechanical stress are present. They offer robust housings and various inserts for power, signal, and data.

• Data Connectors: Specialized connectors for industrial communication networks like Ethernet (RJ45, M12 D-coded/X-coded), fiber optic, and USB. They ensure reliable high-speed data transmission for industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 applications.

• Power Connectors: Solutions for bringing power to devices, including AC and DC applications, with options for high currents and voltages. They often feature safety mechanisms like arc suppression.

• Photovoltaic (Solar) Connectors: Designed specifically for solar energy systems, ensuring optimal performance and durability in outdoor environments.

• Board-to-Board Connectors: For connecting multiple PCBs within a device or system.

• Device Connectors and Cable Assemblies: Connectors for integrating into devices and pre-assembled cables for quick and error-free installation.

Key Features across the range often include:

• Diverse Connection Technologies: Screw, spring-cage (PUSH-IN, CAGE CLAMP), IDC (insulation displacement contact), crimp.

• Modular Design: Allows for flexible configurations and easy expansion.

• High Degrees of Protection: Many connectors are available with IP ratings from IP20 (for indoor cabinet use) up to IP69K (for high-pressure washdown environments).

• Robust Materials: Designed to withstand vibrations, shocks, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure.

• Easy Handling: Features like tool-free connection, clear marking, and mechanical coding to prevent mis-mating.

• Global Approvals: Compliant with international standards like UL, CE, CCC, EAC, TÜV.

Product Parameters (General)

Parameters vary significantly by connector type and series. Here are some typical ranges:

• Rated Current: From milliamps for signal connections to hundreds of amps for power connectors (e.g., 0.1A to 800A).

• Wire Cross-Section: From very fine wires (e.g., 0.14 mm²) to large power cables (e.g., 185 mm²).

• Number of Positions/Poles/Contacts: From 2 to hundreds, depending on the connector type.

• Pitch (for PCB connectors): Common pitches include 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 5.0 mm, 7.5 mm.

• Operating Temperature Range: Typically -40°C to +85°C, with some specialized versions offering wider ranges.

• Material: High-quality insulating plastics (e.g., polyamide) and conductive metals (e.g., copper alloys with tin or silver plating).

• Mechanical Life: Often rated for hundreds or thousands of mating cycles.

• Compliance: IEC, UL, CSA, VDE, ATEX, etc.

• Space-Saving: Many series offer compact designs, allowing for higher wiring density in control cabinets and devices.

• Global Availability and Support: As a leading global manufacturer, Phoenix Contact provides extensive technical support and product availability worldwide.

• Future-Proof Solutions: Continual innovation, including solutions for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and high-speed data transmission, supports future industrial communication needs.

Precautions

• Correct Selection: Always choose the connector that matches the specific electrical parameters (voltage, current, wire size), environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, IP rating), and mechanical requirements of the application.

• Proper Installation: Follow Phoenix Contact's installation guidelines meticulously. This includes correct wire stripping lengths, proper insertion/tightening methods (for screw or spring connections), and ensuring secure mounting. Improper installation can lead to loose connections, overheating, and system failures.

• Environmental Compatibility: Ensure the connector's material and IP rating are suitable for the operating environment (e.g., exposure to chemicals, UV radiation, extreme temperatures, vibration).

• Electrical Safety: Always de-energize circuits before connecting or disconnecting connectors. Observe proper grounding procedures. Do not touch live contacts.

• Tooling: Use the recommended tools (e.g., crimping tools, screwdrivers) for the specific connector type to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.

• Maintenance: Periodically inspect connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure connections remain tight, especially in high-vibration applications.

• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the rated current or voltage of the connector.
