    New BC series housings with push-in technology from Phoenix Contact

    Phoenix Contact has expanded its BC modular housing series to offer more flexibility, now including enclosures with Push-in connection and upper housings in more widths.

    Push-in PCB terminal blocks are now available for the BC 17,8 (1 HP).

    The FKDSO 1,5 and FKDSO 2,5 terminal blocks make it possible to implement future-proof applications with up to 16 positions/module. The coordinated housing and connection system reduces design time for developers. The 3.5 and 5-mm (0.1 and 0.2 in) pitch terminal blocks are designed for currents up to 22 A. They come in three and four positions and can easily be combined in a single upper part.

    Phoenix Contact has also added upper housing parts with widths of 35.6 and 53.6 mm (1 and 2 in). These upper housings include SPT-THR series PCB terminal blocks for easy Push-in connection technology on the front of the housing. The upper parts have already been matched to the terminal blocks, saving design time.

    Every housing chamber can be individually designed using the online configurator. The 53.6-mm wide upper parts have space for up to 48 positions for 1.5 mm2 or up to 16 positions for 2.5 mm2. The upper housing parts are for use with KNX bus.

    With the addition of the upper housings, Phoenix Contact offers configurable enclosure options from 35.6 to 161.6 mm (1 to 6 in), with a height in accordance with DIN 43880.
