Written by Brian Booth, Sales Engineer- Device Connections<\/em><\/p>\n

Firstly I would like to say \u201cHi!\u201d and formally introduce myself. My name is Brian Booth and I joined the Device Connections team in May, looking after all our PCB, Circular and Housing products, in fact anything in catalogues 1 and 2 and some selected ones from 4! I cover the whole of the North UK from Scotland down to Coventry and most points East and West. I have already met with many of you and I am looking forward to meeting with as many more of you as I can in the future, so welcome to my first Blog!<\/p>\n

\"ElectronicsAs I said, Housing crisis in the UK?\u2026..Nope! I would like to focus a little on one of the gems of the Phoenix Contact portfolio and that is the Housings range\u2026..No crisis?Because we have, worldwide, the most extensive range of rail mountable housings than any other supplier, we have more than 2000 products available.<\/p>\n

We also have handhelds, profiles and of course our modular styles. It is the three most popular of these modular systems that I will blog about today!<\/p>\n

Firstly, a very useful point before I continue: customers have a wide choice of RAL colours to choose from with a very small moq of just 250 pieces with hardly a difference to standard colour pricing and with excellent lead times! We can also drill, mill and laser print, screen print or tamp print to your requirements for all stages from the prototype process through to professional branded production units. No need to worry about tooling for your lower volumes, let Phoenix Contact take care of your professional branding.<\/p>\n

\"MEME and ME MAX modular electronics housings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Innovative electronics needs innovative housings. With our ranges of ME and ME Max housings<\/a> we can reduce wiring costs using the integrated Bus system on the ME for both serial and parallel and the T Bus system on the ME MAX.<\/p>\n

We can distribute serial and parallel signals in the DIN rail as well as supplying currents of up to 42 Amps in the connection area.\"ME<\/p>\n

Choose between a solid and plug in version, use screw and fast connection technology for your housing connections.<\/p>\n

BC housing system with Bus connector for building automation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BC housing range<\/a> is standardised (DIN 43880) and flexible for modern building technology with many innovations.\"BC<\/p>\n

Innovation number 1 is the high density Bus Power and data with 16 positions on the Din Rail loomed through.<\/p>\n

Innovation number 2 is the flexible terminal space, more connections and electronics with connection technology from Phoenix Contact.<\/p>\n

Innovation number 3 is of course the functional design, variable board layout with lots of space for your electronics.<\/p>\n

ME I\/O multi-functional component housing with Bus connector<\/strong><\/p>\n

One housing, countless connection options. This is the principal behind the compact ME \"MEI\/O housing system<\/a>, with push in front connection.<\/p>\n

The modular terminal area can be designed flexibly; with codable signal and data connectors, LEDs and customer specific labels.<\/p>\n

With the innovative Lock and Release system, it is easy to release individual connectors from the housing assembly.<\/p>\n

The optional Din Rail Bus connector is also compatible with the above mentioned ME and ME Max systems to provide optimal flexibility in system design.<\/p>\n

You can watch the ME\/IO product video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
