New PCB connectors and PCB terminal blocks

COMBICON COMPACT - PTSM


This high-density spring terminal block has high-current throughput at 6 A, and a small centerline of 2.5 mm. PTSM is available in true surface-mount technology (SMT) and pin-in-paste for mounting components to the board. This small, rugged spring-cage terminal block is only 6 mm high. Termination is as simple as pushing in a solid wire. The PTSM optimizes applications where space is critical.



COMBICON CONTROL - QC 1.5


QC 1.5
The QC (Quick Connect) 1.5 represents the next generation in I/O and low power (up to 10 A) terminations to the PCB. This new insulation displacement plug provides greater flexibility in wire selection as compared to other IDC products currently available on the market. The plugs are designed on a 5.0 mm pitch (centerline) spacing and come with or without mounting flanges. The QC 1.5 plugs mate with 5.0 mm headers from Phoenix Contact.

Fast termination of discrete, stranded wires provides a labor saving advantage during installation. A common screwdriver is all that is required to make a positive gas tight connection. The plugs can be clearly identified, which helps to eliminate potential mis-wiring.




COMBICON CONTROL - PTSA


The high-density PTSA COMBICON Compact printed circuit board block combines quick spring-force connection with angled wired entry to offer a compact solution for applications where performance and price are critical.

The PTSA family is available in multiple colors for easy circuit identification and in 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm configurations with both zigzag and front row solder pin options. For greater adaptability, optional spacers increase creepage and clearance distances, as well as enable assembly of mixed pitches.




COMBICON POWER - PC 35


The new PC 35 PCB connector from Phoenix Contact has a current-carrying capacity of up to 115 A.  The conductor termination allows a maximum of 2 AWG in the proven connection method based on the tension sleeve principle. There is an optional shield for protection against Electro-Magnetic Capability (EMC).

Screw style mounting flanges assure a safer plug connection in case of large conductors up to 2 AWG and in applications exposed to vibration. Silver-plated contacts ensure high connector conductivity (115 A) along with lower insertion and withdrawal forces. The through-panel mount capability offers the advantage of design flexibility at no additional cost.




COMBICON POWER - PC 5


PC 5 with click-and-lock
The Phoenix Contact PC 5 products are the largest selection of interconnect systems with a UL rating of 35 A and 600 V. PC 5 with click-and-lock automatically locks when connected and protects against accidental disconnect. An audible click confirms a properly connected system. No tools are needed to remove- just slide the latching blocks forward then remove the plug.



COMBICON POWER - MKDS 5


The MKDS 5 is a single-piece, direct-mounted terminal block for currents up to 30 A and 600 V. The MKDS 5 product line has the smallest 600 V terminal block product available on the market today with 6.35 mm spacing, made possible by the innovative zigzag PCB layout design.The modular design enables the assembly of any position size. Terminate wires with a common screwdriver.



COMBICON CONTROL - SPTA


The new SPTA is a compact, low profile, angled terminal block that provides space-saving connections for up to 10 A. The innovative push-in spring technology allows solid and flexible wires with ferrules to be connected quickly without the use of tools. SPTA PCB terminal blocks provide maximum connection space with minimum outer dimensions.



COMBICON CONTROL - FMCD 1.5


The new FMCD 1.5 double-level plug connector is the latest addition to the super-flat FMC connector range. The FMCD supports the continuing trend toward miniaturization and increases connection density. When combined with the corresponding through-hole reflow MCDN base strip, the FMCD connector has a height of only 16 mm. Two rows of contacts can be inserted or removed at the same time. An additional advantage of this spring-cage connector is its convenient direct plug-in technology, which enables quick and easy connection of conductors up to 16 AWG.



COMBICON CONTROL - TVMSTB 2.5


The new TVMSTB 2.5 contains two wire entries perpendicular to the vertical plug-in direction. The TVMSTB 2.5 can be used either for looping of signals or for potential distribution. The TVMSTB 2.5's compact form factor allows connections up to 10 A, and wire range from 24 to 12 AWG.  The new twin entry vertical plug is equipped with an integrated test point that allows for quick verification of signals.  The TVMSTB 2.5 can have individual connectors removed in a series while retaining function of devices downstream.



COMBICON POWER - ISPC 16


The ISPC 16 is a recent addition to the popular PC 16 product family. The inverted (reversed sex) plugs create the capability of wire-to-wire application with the convenience of cost-saving spring wire termination. In addition, if the application calls for power coming off the PCB, the inverted design provides a touch-safe solution by placing the receptacle contact on the board.



COMBICON CONTROL - FKCN and CCDN


Phoenix Contact's FKCN 2.5 spring-cage plug connector and accompanying CCDN pin-in-paste compatible base headers save space with a component height that is 30 percent lower for a connection up to 12 AWG. The innovative push-in spring cage technology allows solid and flexible wires with ferrule to be quickly connected without any tools.

The connector has a large wire entry so that it can safely support solid and flexible wires. Wires can be easily disconnected using the orange actuation levers. The generously sized labeling and printing surface above the wire entry allows for easy-to-read marking.




COMBICON COMPACT - PTDA


PTDA
PTDA terminal blocks and connectors with spring-cage double connection from Phoenix Contact provide two connections per electric potential, which makes it easier to daisy-chain conductors. The terminal points are arranged at an angle of 45 degrees to the PCB.

The round, symmetrical PCB terminal blocks are available as a pluggable or fixed, solderable version with a 3.5 mm to 5.0 mm pitch. The disk design and uniform shape allow for individual blocks in mixed pitches, which can also be color-coded. This makes it easier for the user to safely install the devices to be connected without errors.




COMBICON POWER - TPC 16


The TPC 16 is a new twin screw termination plug for daisy-chain power applications up to 55 A. This plug allows simple, reliable field installation with proven rising-cage screw termination technology.  The TPC 16 contains a steel covering spring at mating interface, which increases current-carrying capability within a wide range of temperatures and has a 10.16 mm centerline and high power contacts.



COMBICON POWER - TSPC 5


TSPC 5
The TSPC 5 is the new twin spring-force connection with push-in technology, eliminating the need for tools. Using the TSPC, currents of up to 35 A can be easily daisy-chained from device to device. This connector even has an unrestricted 600 V UL approval rating.

The TSPC 5 is compatible with the PC 5 family of headers, which offers a wide range of application scenarios. It has a 7.62 mm pitch and high power ratings.




COMBICON HOUSINGS


BC Housing
The BC (Building Case) electronic housing system is a new approach to electronic component packaging specifically engineered to meet the needs of control manufacturers focusing on applications for building automation. The BC housings are available in a variety of widths to accommodate various complexities in PCB design.

The system incorporates built-in connectivity between devices due to a DIN rail connector that can bus a power supply and communication transmissions. The housing can also be modified to mount on a panel or a wall. The BC housing system allows for various types of connectors and terminal blocks without the need to alter the housing in any way.
