Good morning everyone. If you\u2019re reading this, you survived the weekend. Perhaps like me, you watched incredulously as your neighbour excitedly covered the whole frontage of their house in Christmas paraphernalia in the first half of November. Be vigilant, these people walk among us.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to reality.<\/p>\n

A significant amount of effort goes into maintaining and developing our website to help you find the right products for your applications. It’s one of our best kept secrets that we have a suite of product configurators that all reside in the same place on our website.<\/p>\n

If you go to the Phoenix Contact UK homepage and select the \u2018Products\u2019 drop down button, you will be presented with the image below. On the right of the screen you will also see \u2018ADDITIONAL RESOURCES\u2019 and below that \u2018Configurators\u2019<\/a>. This is where they all live.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Specifically, I\u2019d like to bring to your attention our new \u2018Heavycon\u2019 heavy duty connector 3D configurator. \u00a0To get to it, please select \u2018Configurators\u2019.<\/p>\n

And then select \u2018connectors<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select 3D heavy-duty connectors<\/a>, and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t put any more screen shots up because now you\u2019ll be ready to use the configurator yourself.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON product range<\/a> is vast and making the right selection of housings and inserts might seem daunting at first. There are just so many variables to consider- such has number of ways, fixed number of poles or modular inserts, connection technology, mounting orientation, housing material, to name but a few.<\/p>\n

For me, where the configurator wins is that it only suggests components that are compatible with your previous selections. I would not bring this configurator to your attention if I did not use it extensively myself. It is intuitive and straight forward. In no time at all you will be configuring solutions using the drag and drop functionality, it only takes a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Once you have your solution, the configurator really comes into its own. You will be able to :<\/p>\n
