The new SPTH 1,5 and 3 PCB terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact combine a compact design with proven Push-in Technology and enable tool-free wiring of conductors up to 4 mm².

Phoenix Contact is participating as a partner in the 90th IEC General Meeting, which will take place in Hamburg from November 16 to 20, 2026. Under the guiding principle “Global Development. Driven by Standards”, international experts will come together to shape the future of electrotechnical standardization. In the Transformation Space at the Congress Center Hamburg, Phoenix Contact will show, through its exhibit on the All Electric Society Park, how sector coupling can already be successfully implemented today.

With the FL SWITCH 4300-4GSFP-RED, Phoenix Contact is extending its portfolio for high-availability industrial networks. As a high-performance layer 2 managed switch, it enables zero-latency redundancy via HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol). This ensures uninterrupted network communication in applications where continuous operation is critical.

Now, Phoenix Contact is also making structured product data available via an Asset Administration Shell (AAS) API on a self-service basis. This enables users to retrieve product information directly and to integrate it into their applications more quickly.

The FLT-SPP and VAL-SPP lightning current and surge protective devices from Phoenix Contact have been tested by an independent body in accordance with the requirements of the new IEC 61643 standard. The units already meet the more stringent requirements and provide designers, system manufactures, and operators with a high degree of reliability, availability, and future-proofing.

Phoenix Contact has redesigned the CUTFOX 10 automatic cutting device and significantly improved its performance. Due to a product improvement, the device can now cut flexible conductors with cross-sections up to 16 mm² (6 AWG) with precision. The maximum cutting capacity was previously 10 mm² (8 AWG).
