Circular connectors for harsh environments
It has been announced that Phoenix Contact is expanding its range of IP-protected PRC series circular connectors. Inverted cable connectors and couplings are the solution for reliable cable-to-cable connections in building, industrial and outdoor applications. Modular basic housings and contact inserts also make angled conductor outlets possible for the first time.
The housings are available in different versions for zero degree, 45° and 90° exit angles and can be equipped with contact inserts for socket or pin contacts depending on the application. The inverted connectors and contact inserts are available in three- or five position versions and offer a high degree of protection up to IP69K.
The circular connectors are designed for currents up to 35A and voltages up to 690 V AC (III/2), and are up to 75% more compact than conventional industrial connectors. Thanks to the weatherproof materials, they are also suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
