Whenever an industrial PC has to be installed in the field along a manufacturing line for operator interaction, it has to be panel mounted onto an enclosure for ingress protection against dust and/or water.
This is because the typical industrial PC is designed with IP65 only on the front face where the screen is and IP20 at the rear resulting in the need of an enclosure to protect the rear.
Push-In Technology was developed by Phoenix Contact in 1978. The very first modular terminal block, the FK 1,5 with a direct plug-in spring connection, designed to offer installation engineers an easy and safe conductor connection method used this technology.
Due to its handling and compact design, the FK 1,5 is still found in elevator engineering, machine and system construction even today! Just like the FK 1,5, the concept of Push in Technology still exists and is going strong today – because it improves the way we do things…. even in our daily lives!

Would you buy something that you cannot see, touch or feel?
For instance, if you wanted to buy a new mobile phone today, and you walked into the mobile shop and after describing your needs the salesman told you, “Oh we have just got the solution for you! This phone solves all your problems and have the latest features and technology. However we do not have the sample for you to see, so you will have to make payment first before we give you the actual phone.”
Would you still buy the phone?
