With electronics housings from the BC modular series, you benefit from the convenient operation of the Push-in connection technology on the front of the housing. Configure your individual housing solution for your application. Each housing chamber can be individually configured to respond to all device requirements with maximum flexibility – matched, for example, to Push-in connections with PCB terminal blocks of the SPT-THR 1,5 and SPT-THR 2,5 series, or with three predefined connection depths. This enables space to be optimally combined for the electronics and connection technology. Housing covers with touch display or membrane keypad and an 8- and 16-pos. DIN rail connector round out our housing range for building automation.
With features such as touch displays, membrane keypads, DIN rail connectors, and Push-in connection technology, the BC modular series housings are ideal for use in building automation. The online configurator and our excellent services also make it easier for you to customize your housing solution.
The BC modular series for applications in building automation impresses with its wide range of versions including different covers, touch displays, or freely customizable membrane keypads, for example. Discover the versatility of these DIN rail housings in the adjacent 3D view.
Coordinated housing and connection system for faster device development
Electronics housings from the BC modular series are the first choice for building automation. As a device developer, you are going to save valuable time since the design of the configurable upper parts has already been matched perfectly to the Push-in PCB terminal blocks of the SPT-THR series. Housing covers with integrated touch display and membrane keypad enable easy implementation of display and operating solutions.
Individual online configuration for various applications in building automation
Electronics housings of the BC modular series are as diverse as the applications in building automation. Each housing chamber is individually configurable. In addition, you can flexibly customize the membrane keypads via an online configurator. You can adjust the shape, color, and printing freely to suit your requirements.
Push-in PCB terminal blocks for convenient front panel operation and time savings during installation
The modular housings of the BC series not only offer clever features for device developers. They are also appreciated by the installers. The Push-in connection on the front enables convenient and tool-free wiring and ensures permanent and vibration-resistant contacting. This makes the job easier for the installer and helps to avoid wiring errors.
Connection technology for automated PCB mounting
SPT-THR series PCB terminal blocks are used in the electronics housings for building communication. These are suitable for both THR and wave soldering processes. THR soldering combines solder connections, which are particularly stable in mechanical terms, with the production processes of surface mounting, which can be automated efficiently. In this way, you achieve the optimum quality with high process efficiency at the same time.
Distribute power and data via the 8- or 16-pos. DIN rail connector. Use the configurable wiring space flexibly for more connections or more electronics. PCBs can be positioned variably for optimal space for your electronics.
A new definition of flexibility with the innovative modular upper part: decide where it is that you need a large amount of installation space. This allows you to design your upper housing part to suit the application. The housing can be adapted to your particular design specifications. The customized integration of various connection technologies works smoothly. The standard-compliant housing geometry in accordance with DIN 43880 is ideal for device installation in the distribution board.
The determining factor for the versatility of the BC series is the free choice of PCB connection technology. Installation component housings offer various types of clamping space:
BC...U11 with small installation space for PCB connections: ideal for the connection technology of the COMBICON compact family
BC...U22 with large installation space for PCB connections: for conventional connection technologies or data connectors
Versatility, the main idea behind the BC series, is also carried over to the cover design. Regardless of which requirements you place on your device, the cover is available in a transparent or gray version, and can be sealed. It can be opened by hand and has a plastic board behind it, making it ideal for the integration of displays or control elements.
