Modular plug-in connectors in snap-in frames
25 January 2017
User-friendly plug-in connectors need to be adapted to the application at hand easily and quickly. Phoenix Contact’s new Heavycon modular contact inserts for power, signals and data fulfill these requirements.

The modules are snapped into the new snap-in frame and precisely aligned and fastened using holding springs. Connected modules can also be subsequently attached to a panel mounting base that is already installed.
The five-pin power modules with push-in connection technology ensure simple and fast installation. The wire fitted with a ferrule is inserted directly into the contact chamber. RJ45 data modules for patch cables and RJ industrial plug-in connectors with Quickon quick connection technology are available for secure data transmission. Preassembled fiber optic cables with SC and LC contacts can be installed in the matching fiber optic modules. Rapid module installation in combination with optimised connection technology results in up to 40 percent time savings during installation.
Various modules for signals, data, power, and pneumatics can be combined flexibly in a single frame. This way, Heavycon modular offers just the right plug-in connector for every application.
