electronica 2026
There’s a lot of talk in the industry about the All Electric Society. We’re bringing together what matters most to shape it – at electronica 2026 in Munich from November 10 to 13. Experience connection solutions that make a tangible difference in everyday life – in every home, every business, and every city. We look forward to seeing you in Hall B3, Booth 103.
Creating the society of tomorrow
The All Electric Society is no longer just a vision. We are making it a reality. Component by component, application by application, impact by impact. See firsthand, through real-world examples, how connection technology brings together power, data, and signals in forward-thinking ways – for efficient solutions in the areas of electrification, networking, and automation: Connect what matters.
Connected energy applications: Synergy through a systemic approach
Which technological innovations make their way into everyday life depends on their integration at the local level – where energy is generated, stored, and used. With our solutions for DC grids, battery storage systems, charging infrastructure, and data centers, we make systems more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. Networked applications that work together rather than existing side by side – integrated into an infrastructure that uses energy more intelligently, minimizes losses, and meets the growing demands of an electrified world.
Our topic highlights for applications in the energy sector
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.
Battery storage systems: High-performance. Reliable. Scalable.
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.
Experience the technologies of the future firsthand
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.
Power supply: Reliable. Efficient. Innovative.
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.
