August 5, 2009 - Phoenix Contact introduces the PC 35, a pluggable PCB terminal block that can carry up to 115 amps. The connector has the highest current-carrying capacity on the market. The PC 35 features standard screw-connection technology and accepts wires up to 2 AWG. It is UL-rated for field wire termination, which is accomplished with a screwdriver. Through-panel mount capability increases design flexibility.
The contact design creates low insertion and withdrawal forces. These light-touch forces reduce mechanical stresses and possible damage to the PCB solder joints. The silver-plated contacts are highly conductive and provide long-term reliability.The 600-volt UL and 1000V IEC ratings meet international requirements. Optional shielding is available for applications that may be exposed to electro-magnetic interference.
Suitable applications include power electronics, frequency converters, motor connections, solar inverters and drives. Phoenix Contact is a world leader in electrical connection, electronic interface and industrial automation technologies. Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG, Blomberg, Germany, operates 46 international subsidiaries, including Phoenix Contact USA in Middletown, Pa. Global sales exceed more than 1 billion euro annually.
Phoenix Contact's formal Integrated Management System is registered to ISO quality, environmental and safety standards (ISO 9001:2008,14001:2004 and 18001:2007).
