The new contact inserts for high-current applications reliably transmit currents up to 100 A. With the combination option in a housing with other contact insert modules, such as for signal and data transmission, this creates an individual, space-saving plugin connection. The demand for connectors with high nominal currents from 40A for transmitting and storing renewable energy and supplying large data centers is growing. Heavy-duty industrial connectors are increasingly New surge protection for APL applications The new surge protection for SPE and APL applications in the Termitrab complete product family from Phoenix Contact meets international standards and provides comprehensive protection for potentially explosive areas in process automation. Phoenix Contact now offers two new surge protective devices for the requirements for twowire Ethernet and Advanced Physical Layer (APL) systems in process technology. The new devices meet the jointly created specifications of the Profibus user organization, the ODVA, the FieldCom Group, and the OPC Foundation. They support a data rate of 10 Mbps and have comprehensive international approvals, including ATEX and IECEx. This enables safe use in explosion-protected system parts. A particular highlight is that one of the items is also approved as a 2-WISE device, allowing easy integration into intrinsically safe APL circuits. The products also offer the option of accommodating the cable shielding on a third existing terminal block level. The pluggable surge protection can be replaced easily in the event of an overload without having to dismantle the entire installation. With an overall width of just 6 mm, the products are space-saving and ideal for use in outdoor distributor boxes. An integrated status display on the protective device enables direct monitoring of the device status on site. If desired, the status is transmitted to the control room via optionally Push-in contact inserts for heavy-duty connectors for power transmission replacing conventional CEE plugin devices. Due to the significantly lower contact resistance, the power dissipation compared to the CEE plug can be reduced, resulting in significantly lower electricity costs. In addition, HEAVYCON modular enables the combination of a wide range of transmission media in a single housing, which creates a highly compact interface. Push-in contact inserts provide a secure, tool-free power connection up to 100A. Flexible conductors with ferrules or rigid conductors up to 16mm² can be directly and easily inserted. The particularly compact clamping chambers of the Push-in contact inserts offer a high packing density, which was previously only possible using traditional crimp connections. The Push-in Technology ensures maximum contact and conductor pull-out forces with a vibrationresistant and gas-tight connection. The extensive product range features the perfect contact insert for every application. available remote signaling modules, which means that users have full control over the protection of the signal applications at all times. Both items already meet the future requirements of the new IEC 61643-21 international standard.
