Board-to-board connectors enable mezzanine PCB arrangements with up to 30 Gbps data rates
The space-saving board-to-board connectors in Phoenix Contact’s FS 0.635 series enable mezzanine PCB arrangements with high-speed data transmission rates up to 30 Gbps. The floating system features a tolerance compensation of up to 0.7 mm in the “x” and “y” directions, as well as 0.6 mm in the “z” direction. This flexibility within the board-to-board […]
PCB connector design eliminates tools, creates fast connections
Phoenix Contact introduces the XPC 1.5 connector, the first PCB connector to feature Push-X connection technology. Push-X uses a mousetrap-like design to create fast and tool-free connections for rigid and flexible conductors with or without ferrules. Push-X technology uses a contact spring inside the XPC PCB connector that catches the conductor and holds it securely […]
Battery pole and busbar connectors for energy storage systems
New battery pole and busbar connectors from make it safer for workers to install energy storage systems (ESS). Both types of connectors from Phoenix Contact are touch-proof and pluggable, with ratings up to 1,500 VDC and 350 A. While most of today’s ESS do not require 1,500 V capability, these high-voltage connectors will meet future […]
Single Pair Ethernet connector system paves way for IIoT applications
The new Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) connector system from Phoenix Contact can lower applied costs and help future-proof networks. As engineers design smarter machines, buildings, and factories, SPE will be a key technology in an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) ecosystem. The first available products include IP20 and IP67 PCB-mount device and panel feed-through connectors, […]
Unshielded board-to-board connectors increase design flexibility
Phoenix Contact’s Finepitch board-to-board connector series now includes unshielded options in a 0.8-mm pitch. The unshielded version gives design engineers more flexibility in applications without EMI concerns. The series comes in multiple orientations, stack heights, and number of positions. The variety of connection options makes it easier to position PCBs at the appropriate angles and […]
M8 circular data connectors for Ethernet and PROFINET
Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of circular connectors for data transmission. The new, two-piece M8 device connectors are especially well-suited for compact devices such as SCADA operator interfaces or camera systems. The four-position socket contacts feature D-coding and data transmission at up to 100 Mbps (CAT5 in accordance with IEEE 802.3) in Ethernet and […]
M12 power connector and cables for high-power applications
Phoenix Contact’s new M12 Power cables and connectors make it easy to power drive motors, fans, lighting, and other distributed control boxes, even in tight spaces. The products, which are UL Listed and tested under UL 2237 (File E46873), can handle currents up to 16 A or voltages up to 600 Vac/63 Vdc. As today’s […]
Customizable circular connectors for harsh environments
Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of IP-protected PRC series circular connectors. The new additions make it possible to customize connections in multiple ways. Inverted cable connectors and couplings ensure reliable cable-to-cable connections in building, industrial, and outdoor applications. Modular basic housings and contact inserts also make angled conductor outlets possible for the first time. […]
Double-sided compact board-to-board connectors create device flexibility
With Phoenix Contact’s new Finepitch board-to-board connectors, PCB designers can customize individual PCB orientations with different stack heights and numbers of positions. The Finepitch range features two compact pitch sizes: 0.8 mm with EMC shielding and 1.27 mm for unshielded applications. The Finepitch series features a unique double contact system. The contacts are designed to […]
