Power Connectors Bring Heavy Cables Onboard

May 23, 2003

Solid cables of up to 35mm2 cross-section now can be connected to PCBs easily, reliably and cost-effectively with the new Power Combicon range of connectors from Phoenix Contact.

Available with and without mounting flanges to help support the weight of the cables, Power Combicon connectors feature robust screw-clamp terminals with a maximum continuous current rating of 125A, making them an ideal choice for use in inverter drives, power supplies, and other high-current applications.

The connectors can be supplied in single-pole versions, and as connector blocks with between two and nine poles.

The pitch for multipole types is just 15mm, allowing a very high connection density to be achieved, in spite of the unconditional 600V UL rating offered by these versatile connectors.

To ensure that the connectors are anchored firmly to the printed circuit board with which they are used, and to guarantee a low-resistance joint between the printed circuit board track and the connector itself, each pole of the connector is provided with four solder pins.

A further refinement is the provision of chamfered cable entries which aid fast and easy cable insertion during wiring.

Power Combicon terminals have a UL94V0 flammability rating, making them suitable for use in all standard commercial and industrial applications.

They can be labelled easily and conveniently using Phoenix Contact's Zack strip system, and insulated test plugs are available as an optional accessory to assist with commissioning and fault finding.
