CLIPSAFE – Your one-stop junction box solution

From |

The “Blame Game”

Have you ever been bothered by such a situation?  Picture this, you have just completed your run on a beautiful day only to return home and realize that your feet are full of blisters. Should you put the blame on the shoe manufacture for using a material that is too tough, or would you blame the socks company for using a material that is too soft?

Things can potentially get uglier when it comes to planning for or executing a project. Have you had the unfortunate experience of opening a ‘Brand X’ junction box, to find yourself having ‘Brand A’ terminal blocks and maybe some ‘Brand C’ cable glands or markings inside. If there is a fault, who you should go to?

You may potentially find yourself being trapped in the “Blame Game” if you are having two or more different suppliers involved.  And if you have ever been trapped in one, you will know that the chances of successfully finding a solution and getting out is very minuscule.

What if there was a supplier who could provide you with a one-stop shopping experience?

CLIPSAFE – Your one-stop junction box solution

Over the years, many of our customers have requested Phoenix Contact to provide one-stop services where they not only purchase standalone components but are able to purchase a solution. We realized it made perfect sense for us to develop a portfolio of “basket or box” which would allow us to further improve our customers’ buying experience. This was the genesis of our CLIPSAFE range of junction boxes.

Euro 2016 – The Final Four

From |

After an exciting weekend of Quarter-finals, the 4 semi-finalists have emerged. We are one step closer to finding out which team will win the title and who will win the Limited Edition UEFA Euro 2016 German National Squad Lego Minifig Collection.

Portugal
Portugal’s lack-lustre performance in the group stages left many pondering if they would make an early exit. However, Ronaldo played the Captain’s part to inspire his team to reach the Semi-finals. Can he inspire them all the way to lift the trophy?

Wales
Having topped Group B during the group stages, Wales has performed consistently to secure their place in the final four. Will this be their year to finally claim the title of “Best in Europe”?

Germany
Being the only team left to have won this title three times (1972, 1980 and 1996); the other team being Spain. Germany will be looking to take home a fourth title to repeat their World Cup Feat. Joachim Löw’s team will have a tough match against host nation, France.

France
Having won in 1984 and 2000, France will be aiming to equal Spain’s and Germany’s achievement of three titles. France’s performance has been consistent since the group stages and culminated in a 5-2 drubbing of Iceland in the Quarter-finals. They will be bringing their ‘A game’ to the clash of the giants with Germany.

Is your team still in contention? Good luck!

Long Awaited BT Terminals!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Wait no further!

The long awaited Phoenix Contact BT terminal blocks are finally ready!

Allow me to present to you what we have to offer. Continue reading

Building installation with push-in three-level terminal blocks

From |

Thanks to the new PTI 4 three-level installation terminal blocks with push-in connection technology from Phoenix Contact, rigid conductors up to 6 mm² can be easily and directly wired without tools. The terminal blocks are specially tailored to the requirements of the electrical installation and the distributor construction, thanks to their compact design.

The snap-in, no-screw disconnect slide with status indicator makes contacting the neutral busbar easy and safe. The function shaft on each level provides for easy potential distribution, thanks to the flexible jumper system. Each terminal point can be clearly marked and, in addition to the testing facility, has its own test connection in the function shaft.

Thanks to the insertion force, which has been reduced by 50 percent, it is possible to insert solid and stranded conductors with ferrules and cross sections from 0.5 to 6 mm² without tools. The built-in actuation lever allows fully insulated release with any tool. The orange-colored button indicates the actuating element. This prevents the terminal from being activated accidentally. Flexible conductors without ferrules can also be connected, from 0.2 mm by actuating the lever.

The push-in three-level terminal blocks share all the system characteristics with the CLIPLINE complete terminal block series and are therefore compatible with all installation terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact.

Modular marshalling patchboard concept with innovative color coding system

From |

The new push-in PTMC marshalling patchboards from Phoenix Contact achieve up to 20 percent higher packing density with marshalling wiring in process technology, thanks to the modular concept and the compact design.

freistellen mit Pfad CD-Inlay einbauen Network Interfaces fg

The individual marshalling patchboard elements snap into place easily and securely and can also be coded using eleven different colors. This ensures clearly arranged and fault-free wiring. The precise number of positions and the blocked form design, ideal for various applications, create a stable patchboard construction that is resistant to warping. The 2.3 mm test connections are easily accessible, next to the connection points, enabling convenient testing with standard testing accessories. The pre-assembled marshalling patchboards are available with four or six push-in connections per element in 32, 48 and 80-pos. designs. In terms of mounting type, there is a choice of direct, 19″ rack and DIN rail mounting.

The PTRV marshalling terminal system is the most compact on the market with a length of just 100 mm. It offers additions options for easy and clearly arranged marshalling wiring. Its key features include freely selectable colors, easily accessible test connections, and large-surface matrix marking.

The marshalling terminals and marshalling patchboards are designed for use in Ex i safety circuits up to 60 V and are available as blue versions.

The marshalling patchboards, which can be self-assembled, are configured and ordered with just a click of the mouse in the product area on the phoenixcontact.net/products website.
