Our portfolio for power connections

Benefit from our products for the secure, intuitive grid connection of your home charger. Normally, the infrastructure features rigid conductors up to 16 mm². The orange actuation lever on the lever-actuated PCB terminal blocks signals the correct conductor connection. The self-locking design of this connection technology ensures permanent and reliable contacting.

Our portfolio for charging connections

With CHARXconnect, we offer a wide range of charging connections systems for safe, reliable, and fast power transmission from the charging station to the electric vehicle. The portfolio serves both AC home chargers and state-of-the-art DC home chargers for the use of direct current from the photovoltaic system with minimal conversion losses. 

Our portfolio for data transmission

The RJ45 connector range is perfect for connections to the network. Phoenix Contact provides USB PCB connectors and patch cables for configuration during commissioning and servicing. Type A and type C are available in the versions USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 3.2 Gen. 1/USB 3.2 Gen. 2 in a variety of combinations.

PCB terminal blocks with lever connection in a home charger

PCB terminal blocks with lever connection are the ideal solution. An orange lever enables fast and intuitive connection of all three phases, neutral conductor, and PE. The operating principle makes the connection particularly reliable: The lever snaps closed during actuation and the conductor is securely clamped permanently. Terminal blocks with angled and horizontal conductor entry are available for the optimum design of your device.
