What makes the most amount of your time daily? Assembly? Picking? Wiring? Marking? Testing? 

Well, if the answer to that is wiring then we can help you out with some time-saving tools to help streamline your processes. 

The CF 3000 will strip and crimp your wires in less than 2secs… 1.2secs to be precise! The time saved on this machine is approx. 4x over a minute. The CF 3000 will strip and crimp wire sizes of 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm that are supplied on a strip of 50pcs. 

The CF 1000 will do the same as above, but you can use loose ferrules fed into a hopper on top of the machine. Using air pressure to make the crimp, you can again crimp 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm all in less the 2secs. 

If you like keeping the feeling of crimping in the palm of your hand then you can check out the Crimpfox 4in1. This hand tool cuts, strips, twist your strands the crimps for you. Keeping all this in one tool saves you 30% crimping time.  

If stripping is all you need then the WF 1000 will strip your cable for you in 0,3secs! Up to 6mm cable size and adjustable stripping length. 

If you spend most of your day measuring and measuring cable to cut to size then have a look at the CUTFOX 10. You can cut cables of up to 10mm and set quantities to do so. Walk off and leave to work and you’ll have a pie of cable waiting for you. 

How do you cut rail and trunking? If the answer is a hacksaw then check out the PPS Compact and the PPS CD tabletop cutters. These will save you lots and lots of sawing time.

And lastly, our electric torque screwdrivers – the time saver here speaks for themselves and we have two models, one for up to 16 torque settings and the other up to 21.

Save the planet…sustainability…eco-friendly…green…  

All words that can often debate the correct path for us all to take with our lifestyle and daily decisions.  Whilst we can debate on the current state of the planet, we can’t deny that it cannot hurt to try.  To try to do things a little differently and, hopefully, better. 

With this being said, I would like to introduce the All Electric Society. 

The idea of the All Electric Society is a World where everyone has access to affordable, unlimited, renewable energy.  To not only utilise renewable electricity for our daily uses, but also for travel and industrial purposes. 

This concept sounds relatively achievable until you ask them questions about aspects like air travel – can an aeroplane really utilise solar/battery power?

Maybe, maybe not.   

From a renewable perspective, the solution for air travel is utilising renewable jet fuels – “Power to X.” 

To learn more about Power to X, click this link or do a quick Google search and you’ll find yourself an abundance of information on how electricity can be converted into heat, electricity, or synthetic fuels.  This concept is truly fascinating and could potentially change the planet for the better. 

Phoenix Contact is working with the Power to X concept and sharing our own dream of an All Electric Society, where we have many solutions to help our partners create a better future for our planet.   

After all, Electric is our business.

From electric vehicle products to the simple terminal block used in nearly all electrical and renewable applications, we believe we have the widest portfolio of solutions to help achieve the goal of a sustainable future.

Look out for future communications from Phoenix Contact on our All Electric Society journey. 

It’s hard to believe that 2021 is already coming to a close. It’s true what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun”, and fortunately, here at Phoenix Contact, we are passionate about what we do and what we can achieve with hard work.

Reflecting on the year, I want to congratulate everyone for pulling together during a crisis of an unprecedented nature. From our employees to our customers, clients, distributors, stakeholders, and all those in between. Thank you.

While we look forward to a well-earned rest during the upcoming holiday season, celebrating and relaxing with family and friends, we can reflect on a year of continuing change and growth. Much like the rest of the world around us, it is with no doubt that this year enforced many boundaries, pressures, and constraints for us all. I want to realise and commend your commitment to Phoenix Contact during these unprecedented times. This year has shown that we, as individuals, partners and an organisation, are adaptable, dedicated, and resilient. We can work together to get through anything.

We are constantly innovating, finding ways to improve our existing solutions while creating new solutions to meet clients evolving needs and ensure our corporate values remain at the forefront. We are fortunate to have a strong relationship with our customers. Phoenix Contact envisions a future that is connected, innovative and sustainable. We remain committed and will continue to charge forward and deliver our Complete Cabinet Confidence five-star guarantee, working with you towards a common goal.

It’s been a dynamic, eventful year. We look forward – with great enthusiasm – to working with you again next year to continue to be your trusted partner.

On behalf of the Phoenix Contact Team, I wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable holiday season, a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

As a market leader in Device Circuit Breakers for 24VDC applications, we have seen an ever-increasing take up of our Electronic Circuit Breakers to protect their cabinet equipment.

Our range of Electronic Circuits has grown to include single-channel fixed or configurable versions (PTCB), 4 channel compact and advanced versions (CBMC), and our extremely popular 4 and 8 Channel CBM with fully configurable outputs. Almost enough to suit every application…. until now.

Introducing CAPAROC – the fully customizable modular Electronic Circuit Breaker solution!

CAPAROC – Electronic Circuit Breaker System

How does CAPAROC work?

CAPAROC offers a truly flexible Electronic Circuit Breaker offering which is essentially a “build your own” system for over-current protection. Choose from the following modules which are all “tool-free” install and “hot-swappable” for easy maintenance.

• Power Module – available in basic, or advanced (networkable) versions
• 1, 2 or 4 Channel Electronic Circuit Breaker modules
• 0V Distribution Module
• DC Current Rail in various sizes and fully extendable for expansion of the system.

If you already know and use our current CBM, CBMC or PTCB Electronic Circuit Breakers, you are going to love CAPAROC – contact us for a demonstration.

In this fast paced and rapidly changing world we live in, it is vital that our Safety-related systems, such as signalling systems found on our railway networks, evolve as well.

With the advent of digitalization in the Railway network, imagine if you could combine the quality and reliability of Phoenix Contract lightning and surge protection, with the easy installation and renown versatility of our Terminal Blocks ! Meet CLIXTRAB…

In times of increasing decentralisation, requirements for a power distribution installation system are also rising. Installations should be simple, fast, flexible, and as inexpensive as possible. The QPD installation system from Phoenix Contact provides interesting solutions for various applications.

When designing your Electrical Cabinet, have you considered its location?
Is it 680m up in a service cavity of the Burj Khalifa? Does it have to withstand the harshest conditions within mining? Or is it required to withstand regular high-pressure cleaning at temperature in a food processing plant?

(11/20) Since the two major fall trade fairs electronica and SPS could not take place in the usual way on site in Munich and Nuremberg, Phoenix Contact invited its customers to the digital format “Dialog Days” for the second time this year.
