New PC 6 series connectors with screw connection
The Phoenix Contact range of PCB connectors for power electronics is being extended further. With the new PC 6 PCB connectors with screw connection, the classic connection technology is also available with enhanced touch protection for the new pin connector pattern.
Enhanced touch protection in accordance with IEC/UL 61800-5-1 provides added safety. Together with the touch-proof headers, touch-proof PCB and device outputs are implemented with a single connection. Inverted connections are therefore no longer required.
The new PC 6 series is available with two to six positions. In addition to the standard version without connector and header locking, there is also a version with a centre flange. The centre flange is very space-saving compared to the conventional screw flange. It is color-coded and can be operated intuitively.
The connectors with a nominal cross-section of 6 mm2 and 7.62 mm pitch have a current carrying capacity of 41 A. They have the same pin connector pattern as the LPC 6 connectors with time-saving lever connection technology and the PC 6/ -ST-BUS bus connectors for the simple looping through of potentials. The connector families are compatible with the new PC 6 headers. In addition to the standard headers for wave soldering, THR headers are also available for integration into the SMT soldering process.
