Connect
Terminal blocks
Screw connections are still the dominant method in industrial connection technology. No other connection technology can achieve such high contact forces in a confined space. With the modular structure and comprehensive range of accessories, tailor-made solutions can be configured for every application.
Power distribution blocks
The TB-EE-DB series distribution blocks make the distribution and combining of high currents safe, easy, fast, and space-saving. The product range consists of six articles for currents between 80 to 400 A (according to IEC) or 80-335 A (according to UL) with screw connection technology, featuring 7 to 12 connection points depending on the variant. The voltage rating of 1000 V AC / 1500 V DC makes them also suitable for common PV applications. Easy handling, compact design, touch-proofness, and marking possibilities are the main advantages compared to busbar distribution systems.
High-current distribution blocks
Screw connections are still a central component of industrial connection technology. No other technology achieves such high contact forces in such a small space. Thanks to the modular design and a wide range of accessories, individual solutions are created that are perfectly tailored to each application.
Heavy-duty connectors
Heavy-duty HEAVYCON connectors are used in applications where robust plug-and-play solutions are required. They protect your interfaces and also ensure the reliable transmission of power, data, and signals even under particularly harsh conditions. The HEAVYCON connector housings of the ESSENTIAL edition series withstand dirt, water, vibrations, and high mechanical loads and are tight up to IP66/IP67 degree of protection. The housings and contact inserts are also plug and mounting compatible with the other series from our HEAVYCON portfolio as well as the aluminum housings and contact inserts from well-known manufacturers.
Sensor/actuator cabling
The wide range of Phoenix Contact products and solutions for the cabling of sensors and actuators ensures that the system operates with safety and stability.
Supply, charge, and protect
Power supplies
Phoenix Contact provides you with a wide range of power supplies for various applications. To meet the wide range of customer requirements in industries such as machine building and building installation, these power supplies feature various performance levels and functions.
Surge protection
Lightning currents and surge voltages can cause damage to devices and components. In the worst cases, it even leads to a failure of the entire system. Downtimes and repairs then lead to high consequential costs. Businesses in every industry require a high degree of system availability. With individualized solutions for requirements in a wide variety of applications, reliable surge protection by Phoenix Contact makes a significant contribution.
Redundancy modules
Redundancy modules in the ESSENTIAL edition allow two power supplies to be decoupled for full redundancy, enhancing operational safety. They also enable easy and reliable performance boosts by connecting identical power supplies in parallel. Additionally, these modules provide comprehensive status signaling through DC-OK LEDs and floating switching contacts for consistent monitoring.
Switch, measure, and monitor
Energy measuring
The ESSENTIAL edition energy meters with MID approval in accordance with EN 50470 enable energy data billing. The series contain three-phase and single-phase meters which are suitable for industrial and civilian applications.
Relay modules
In the industrial control process, there needs to be a product between the control system and the devices on site that provides reliable switchover control. With control relays from Phoenix Contact, various relay solutions can be constructed flexibly according to on-site needs.
Timer and monitoring relays
Timer relays are easy to use, offer various functions, and can provide complete and cost-effective timing control solutions. To safeguard the reliable operation of devices and systems, the voltage monitoring relays can detect grid and voltage failures as early as possible.
Safety Relays
You can use our safety relays to realize reliable safety functions in machines and systems. You can monitor signals from emergency switching off buttons, light grids, and safety door switches, and initiate a safe state when necessary. The ESSENTIAL edition product range includes safety relays for machine building and safe coupling relays for the process industry.
Signal conditioners
To achieve comprehensive signal conditioning, highly compact signal conditioners provide electrical isolation, signal conversion, signal filtering, and signal amplification with low space requirements.
Current transformers
CT-ES series low-voltage current transformers can convert primary currents of up to 4000 A AC into 5 A AC secondary currents. They can be used with electrical measuring instruments and are easy to install. They are small in size, have a large capacity and high accuracy.
The CT-ES series current transformer product family offers a wide range of products. With 9 different specifications and a total of 49 different product models, it will fully meet your application-specific needs and provide you with the best choice.
Automate
