This free software navigates through the extensive PCB terminal block line from Phoenix Contact and helps you narrow down to the specific block that fits your needs.

Circuit housings used in industrial and utility applications have requirements often not needed in the commercial or consumer
electronics industries. The device may be used in locations as diverse as in a chemical factory, wind turbine, transit station,
offshore platform, wastewater control panel, or a Smart Grid communications box.This paper introduces the audience to these issues and provide information about how organizations such as the IEC address them with standards and approvals.

With the increasing globalization of markets, producers of industrial equipment face the pressures of shorter product cycles and falling product prices. As device manufacturers reduce their vertical manufacturing range, they must work closely together with housing specialists to optimize new products.

As the complexity of PCB design increases, users need to look at a wide factors when choosing signal connections. By looking at each of these factors, the user can better choose the connection to meet the specific needs of the application.

If you are curious about Phoenix Contact's pluggable PCB terminal blocks, then these videos will help you with fast, space-saving wiring for control with reliable connections or if you want to apply high currents to the printed circuit board.
