Safe Energy Control (SEC) technology from Phoenix Contact is the basis for durable and powerful lightning and surge protection. The revolutionary new design of spark gap safely prevents any line follow current. This protects your system, including fuses and arresters.
For most applications, this means that a separate arrester backup fuse is no longer needed.

How do you save money when it comes to industrial electrical installations? You may think cheaper materials is the best way, but then you may compromise on quality. One way could be working harder and faster to reduce time, but again quality could decrease and mistakes could be made.
Have you ever thought about automatic tooling?
Here at Phoenix Contact, we have some state of the art automatic tooling devices that will save you time, save you repetitive strain, retain a high quality and most importantly save you money! Let me introduce you to them:

The COMBI plug-in system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your 
application. Its distinguishing feature is its standardised plug-in zone. This makes it possible to freely combine basic terminal blocks, which are available with screw, push-in, spring-cage, and fast connection technology. The nominal data of up to 41 A and 1000 V has made a plug-in system for signal and power wiring possible.
Both the terminal blocks and the connectors are touch proof. In addition, all connectors can be individually assembled, i.e., they can be adapted to match the required number of positions in each application.

Save time and money during research and development with DEV-KITS from Phoenix Contact.
DEV-KITS are electronics housing kits that include all the parts needed to assemble an enclosure ready for your electronics. They include the enclosure body and connectors along with made to measure prototyping PCBs and BUS connectors that can be ordered separately. DEV-KITS are ideal for rapid prototyping, proof of concept and one off projects.
At some point during the design process the enclosure comes into consideration. Typically there are two choices: design and engineer a new enclosure at considerable cost and with a high MOQ, or use an off the shelf solution. The second option is often overlooked but is quick to realise and avoids the high engineering costs associated with custom enclosures. Electronics Housings from Phoenix Contact can offer the best of both worlds.

In the past three years, Phoenix Contact has quickly become one the biggest global companies for industrial marking solutions. Predominantly this would be terminal marking, cable identification and device labelling, and although Phoenix Contact has one of the largest ranges in these areas, we are now producing marking for specific Industries.
