The reason is mainly due to the location of the connectors and the cable bend radii needed to prevent damage to the connection points. In traditional electronics enclosures the number of connection points is also limited unless the physical width or height of the housing is increased which then takes up even more valuable space on the DIN rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/gb?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm%3apath%3a\/gben\/web\/main\/products\/subcategory_pages\/Multifunctional_housings_ME-IO_P-01-12-07\/6bfadb7e-b14f-40f4-a7fb-e7e17e170844?cpn=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-functional ME-IO housing system<\/a> is particularly suitable for applications with a limited amount of installation space and a high number of interconnection requirements. With convenient Push-In front connection technology wiring is easy to access, quick and tool free. The compact design enables individual devices to have up to 54\u00a0connection positions with an overall product width of only 18.8\u00a0mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dam-mdc.phoenixcontact.com\/rendition\/156443151564\/6b4a1b9cadf2f0d80fe6529bb670192b\/-C100%25x60%25%2C0%25%2C19.33333333%25-S676x10000\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The product range includes special housing versions and accessories for creating a complete system consisting of a controller, bus coupler, and individual I\/O modules. The unique lock and release system enables the connectors to be removed quickly and easily either individually or in groups using block belts. To enable communication between modules the 5 or 8 position TBUS can be utilised which are compatible with the already long established ME Max and recently released ICS enclosure systems. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ease your design process go directly to the online configurator by entering web code <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/gb\/pxc\/apps\/configurators\/electronic_housing_stand_alone_p-0\/!ut\/p\/z1\/1ZRPU6MwGIc_yx56ZN5A-dcjUm11t06rq21yyQR4xbgloWmw6qffrOs4swfBmb1YLiTh-WWeAPMDBhtgSjzKWlipldi6OWUxT4Pv-XwW-otZfjYhqx_L8PJ8nPiL8whugeZApzt8YgdY99HBNAHWv9lA3v_PPPlcnnxwZYN56vLJh0AWw_pR4gFulDaNe7nXwICt8wVf3ZxeuWzZKqAHLEpdISeRHwA1WEmDpf0pTI3WIbpT1jwDbY2uutJO0bqn7lsBtabDPxu2payApikGRRATrygn6IVhgV4RjCsvDlLEMAmjcDKGORlSjr6a8oBvcly-qyPzjY_sf1iEX833YqhDXOPKh92OZcBKrSw-WdjUBaoRcZoj0gjphm8q-_cRd-ydrDsjrDYjItp2K8vXEuetqNGBuHXWRitZ8nvd7aWq-d4KVXGx1Qp56xH_U5ArSdZ3htea7wf8IYC8AT1NfI2Kz074cpPPTqBt1LOU0qMXdZaOw7-3qG6y6ctdk9Nseen9u7b2fl3ND99-A3iokUc!\/dz\/d5\/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh\/?cpn=webcode_0512&amp;productDetection=true&amp;redirectTarget=country?cpn=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">#0512<\/a> into the search field on our website, chose ME I\/O from the ranges shown and simply drag and drop your choices to create your enclosure.
