Brochure assists enclosure selection
A new publication is available to help engineers to quickly decide on which enclosure is suitable for their application.
An integrated steel upper spring provides additional contact reliability, especially during extreme changes in power or temperature, said Phoenix.
The system has been designed for two 12 pin layouts.
The screw connection, for flexible conductors up to 6 squre millimetres, uses the tension sleeve principle.
A screw flange for securing the connection between the plug component and the base housing is supplied with the plug connector.
The plug's shield contact is claimed to provide a high-quality connection to the shielding screen to prevent electrical interference.
The screw integrated in the connector flange ensures that the shroud is securely connected to the metal front.
If the housing or front plate is made of a non-conducting material, shielding can be connected directly to the PCB.
