Do you want to connect up to 120 positions on one module? – Choose from different housing sizes and upper housing parts to create the right ME housing configuration for your needs. In addition, you can use a bus connector to establish communication with other modules on the DIN rail.
As a leading manufacturer of connectors and electronics housings, Phoenix Contact is always working to find new solutions for the growing requirements placed on your industrial and infrastructure applications.
Discover our new device connection technology for the transmission of signals, data, and power as well as our versatile electronics housings.
ME and ME MAX electronic housings reduce the wiring effort with the integrated DIN rail bus and modular design. Comprehensive accessories and diverse adaptation options, including the housing width, extend the range of individual housing solutions.
Assembled printed circuit boards and the appropriate connection technology can be assembled and soldered in a single operation. Use PCB terminal blocks with screw or Push-in connections on up to two connection levels and plug-in terminal blocks on up to three connection levels for your application. You can quickly mount the DIN rail housing by latching it into place.
The housing can be opened conveniently during maintenance or service actions by simply pressing on the latching hook, for example by using a screwdriver.
The 5-position DIN rail connector is used for power supply as well as for serial and parallel data transmission. It is mounted in the DIN rail and enables efficient module communication with five parallel or four parallel and one serial contact. This means that several mounted modules can be connected. When an individual device is removed from the assembly, the contact chain with parallel contacts is not interrupted. With five gold-plated contacts, transmissions up to 8 A and 125 V are possible.
ME bus housings are versions of the ME modular electronic housings with an integrated cross-connection. Versions with 5- and 10-position parallel contacts as well as with two additional serial contacts enable extensive application possibilities. Versions with a functional ground contact integrated into the base of the housing allow you to connect the inserted PCB directly to the grounded DIN rail.
HS LC light guides for electronics housings are available in a variety of designs and are perfectly matched to the housings. The light guides are also resistant to ESD. Press pins enable easy mounting on the PCB. On request, we will process the electronics housings to the required extent as a service for you.
Mount the ME series DIN rail housing in just a few steps. The cup principle makes assembly simple. In just a few steps, your assembled printed circuit boards become installation-friendly electronics modules for your device application.
Using DIN rail connectors, the two housing series ME and ME MAX can be used in one application, combining their respective strengths.
In addition to being used for a wide variety of applications, the ME housing is suitable for the following industries, among others.
Electronics housings are an elementary part of a device. They determine its appearance and protect the electronics from external influences. In addition, they enable assembly in superordinate units. Device manufacturers must therefore pay attention to many details, and not only in the design, but also in the choice of housing when it comes to materials and quality testing. This brochure provides you with all the details.
