Combicon Compact Power to miniaturise your device [May 2012]

May 28, 2012 6:02 am

To inculcate the demand of miniaturisation of modules and devices along with the increase in connection density, Phoenix Contact introduces an innovative range of products – COMBICON Compact.
The range provides solutions with spring-cage, push-in and screw connection technology for all types of applications in building automation, analytical instruments and telecommunication where space saving is critical.
COMBICON compact with screw connectionPCB terminal blocks and connectors in the PT range offer an outstanding terminal block capacity in a compact design. It comprise of highly flexible conductor protection which provides easy connection. The all new PT 2.5 plug-in system is introduced with a facility of five plug-in directions and unrivalled flexibility. To avoid any miss-match a keying solution also introduced which protects four plug-in directions.
COMBICON compact with spring connectionFK-MPT Series: The range provides PCB terminals with spring-cage double connection technology suitable for a wire cross-section of up to 0.5 mm², available in 3.5 mm pitch. The series provides a facility to be soldered on to PCB directly or can be used as a plug-in solution with the help of header pin strips.
PTDA Series: The product range includes PCB terminal blocks with angled spring-cage double connection operated with a release button. The customer has options to choose between single or double connections. A double connection facilitates looping through conductors. The connectors are available in different pitches of 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm with direct mounting and plug-in methods suitable for the wire cross-sections from 1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm².
PTSA Series: The range provides PCB terminals with angled spring-cage connection available in 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm pitches, suitable for up to 1.5 mm² wire cross-section. The connectors are available in straight and zigzag pinning which provides increased dielectric strength and mechanical stability. Colour coding and mixed pitch are available as an option.
PTSM and PTPM Series: The range available in 2.5 mm pitch, specially designed for THR and SMD applications. With a design height of just 5 mm, the PTSM provides a spring-cage connection that can be easily disconnected. The connector available in both one piece fixed type and pluggable type solution to meet the requirement of customers.
PTPM is another miniature series designed for Ethernet applications which provides a conductor connection based on pierce contact method.
In spite of the small size both the PTPM and PTSM series provides a tool-less connection with conductor cross-section up to 0.75 mm².
FOPT – Fibre optic PCB terminal blocks: The FOPT 2,2-T/R PCB terminal block can be aligned without loss of pitch, enabling the time-saving and cost-effective connection of polymer fibres.
Fibre optic connection without fibre pre-treatment is supported. User-friendly actuation is offered by the direct plug-in method with release button.
Application areasBuilding illumination & telecommunication, ISDN – terminals, DSL-modems, NTBAs, HVAC, access control, fire alarm, smoke detector, camera vision system (like CCTV etc.), and electronic ballasts (lighting manufacturer).
