Our opening hours: We are closed from 24.12.25 from 17:00 until 5.01.2026 at 08:00. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026. Your PHOENIX CONTACT Team Switzerland
electronica 2026 is now behind us, but we will continue to shape the future together. We would like to thank you for the many inspiring conversations and encounters at the world’s leading electronics trade fair. Take a quick look back at our highlights. Will we see each other again at electronica 2028 from November 14 to November 17?
electronica 2026 was a top-class industry gathering that offered a great deal of diversity: Close to 3,500 exhibitors presented the entire spectrum of electronics in 18 halls. Under the motto “Connect what matters”, we presented new solutions on the path to the All Electric Society.
Under the slogan “Connect what matters” at electronica 2026, we demonstrated how individual technologies come together to create solutions with future viability. Energy, signals, and data intelligently connect battery storage systems, data centers, charging infrastructure, and DC grids, thereby increasing efficiency and availability in these systems. The many conversations we had at our booth made it clear that these are precisely the issues that are driving the industry.

Direct current: The foundation of networked energy systems
DC grids are a key technology for the efficient energy systems of the future. They connect power generators, storage systems, and loads directly to one another, reduce transmission losses, and improve resource efficiency. Phoenix Contact supports the expansion of these systems with solutions for the secure networking of modern energy applications.
Whether in the residential, commercial, or utility-scale sectors, modern energy systems would be virtually unthinkable without a battery storage system. Manufacturers and integrators benefit from end-to-end concepts – from connection technology for power, signals, and data, through power supply and protection technology, to automation and communication solutions. In this way, we help develop battery storage systems efficiently, operate them safely, and adapt them flexibly to future requirements.
Data centers: Power distribution that scales with growth
Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, massive amounts of data: The expansion of high-performance data centers is in full swing. At the same time, the demands on power distribution, power density, and availability are increasing. With our precisely coordinated connectivity and infrastructure components, operators, integrators, and device manufacturers benefit from greater scalability, efficiency, and operational safety.
Innovative connectivity: Greater potential for the next generation of devices
With our device connection technologies, PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors, board-to-board solutions, and electronics housings, developers can bring new ideas to market faster. From the initial design decision through to series production, we create solutions that combine higher performance and faster data rates in more compact designs – all while shortening development cycles.
Phoenix Contact combines power supplies, protection technology, and connectivity solutions to create energy systems that combine high availability with cost-effective operation. From secure transmission and stable supply to intelligent monitoring of critical applications, our solutions minimize downtime and ensure that modern infrastructures remain operational over the long term.
Signal and data transmission: End-to-end for networked applications
Modern applications require reliable communication for both simple sensor signals and high data rates. Phoenix Contact offers consistent solutions – from devices and cabling to complex systems. A major milestone is the new pin connector pattern for Single Pair Ethernet. It lays the foundation for uniform, future-proof data transmission all the way down to the field level.
Control cabinet building: Easy wiring. Efficient integration.
Control cabinet building: Easy wiring. Efficient integration.
In the control cabinet, simple connections and efficiently interconnected processes are key. Phoenix Contact combines terminal blocks, push buttons, marking solutions, tools, and connection technology into a seamlessly integrated system. Push-X, our tool-free direct-connection technology, significantly reduces the amount of wiring required – leading to greater productivity in control cabinet building and manufacturing.

The history of electronica
The origin The electronica is one of the most important specialist trade fairs in the international electrical industry. Since its foundation in 1964, it has been synonymous with technological innovation and industry-wide exchange along the entire electronics value chain. From the very beginning, the trade fair was a central conference and platform where international exhibitors presented innovations and set new impulses and trends for the development, production, and use of electronic components, applications, and systems.
Global meeting place for the electronics industry In step with the growth of the electronics industry, the electronica has also steadily gained in importance. It has developed into an international meeting place for manufacturers, developers, and decision-makers from all over the world. This makes electronica an integral part of the global trade fair calendar.
The world’s leading electronics trade fair Today, the electronica is regarded as the world’s leading electronics trade fair. The focus is on future-oriented technologies, industry trends, and practical solutions for a whole range of applications. The trade fair demonstrates how state-of-the-art electronics have a sustainable impact on industrial and social developments.
