Just 2 years ago Phoenix contact released the smallest safety relay into the market. Safety in just 6mm. Since the initial launch, Phoenix Contact has expanded the range and functionality, and the demand has continued to grow.
The range already covered the main requirements for Machine building and Process Engineering but in response to customer demand we have gone a step further to “fill the gaps” that exist in the market today. Here are some examples :
- Wide range input versions 24v….230v ac/dc
- Contact extensions with up to 5N/O – 1N/C contacts
- Safety relays with lift industry approval to the new standard – EN81-20
- Safety relays with on delay/off delay functionality
- Two handed control to TYPE IIIA/IIIC
- Motor standstill monitoring
Today, Phoenix Contact has one of the most comprehensive ranges of safety relays in the market and it continues to grow. All of our safety products are backed up with helpful literature and application guides to assist in your selection and implementation into your machine or system. We also provide the latest up to date SISTEMA libraries to assist your validation and approval.

Anyone who has ever tried to configure a heavy duty connector from the main components (hood, base, inserts, glands etc) will know that the number of components to choose from is huge. The upside of having this large number of components from which to select the ideal connector solution for your application can sometimes have the downside of perhaps having too much to choose from.
The demand for data and information flow is growing. You need to get your machine networked with the absolute minimum fuss.
So what is it that Phoenix Contact does exactly? Everyone knows that we make those little green connections that are on Printed Circuit Boards, but what else?
As the world’s largest manufacturer of DIN rail mounted terminal blocks, Phoenix Contact can announce the introduction of their own range of
