The third in a series of wall posters explains the definitions and standards associated with the IP ratings in a simple tabular format.
The new Pluscon sensor/actuator boxes feature robust metal housings, which provide excellent EMC shielding, and are available with four, six or eight M12 sockets.
Phoenix Contact also offers a wide variety of matching cables so that sensor and actuator wiring is reduced to fast, simple plug-in operation.
The boxes are available with integral master cables, or for use with master cables that have an M23 connector.
Also new in the Pluscon range are IP67-rated RJ45 connectors, which are ideal for use in Ethernet applications.
Suitable for Cat5 cabling, these products meet the requirements of IAONA for use in heavy-duty environments, and they incorporate a high level of EMC shielding.
The connectors require no additional protection once installed, and can be wired using standard RJ45 crimp tools.
For power applications, Phoenix Contact has added Heavycon-Advance connectors to the Pluscon range.
Designed to provide an economical solution where plugging and unplugging is infrequent, Heavycon-Advance connectors are typically secured in place with screws against the outside wall of a control enclosure.
This arrangement eliminates the need for costly retaining mechanisms, and allows more circuits to be accommodated in a given size of housing. Request a free brochure from Phoenix Contact ...
