With a nominal cross-section of 2.5 mm² and a nominal current of 24 A at a nominal voltage of 800 V, the terminal blocks cover a wide range of applications. The tool-free direct-connection technology saves time during conductor connection, while the compact design enables efficient wiring in confined spaces. Due to the spring construction, the terminal blocks provide high conductor pull-out forces and the function slots on each level ensure New versions for contactless power and real-time Ethernet data transmission The achievable range is doubled to up to 100 mm during communication due to the particularly high-performance wireless boards. The parallel connection of two NearFi coupler paths enables either double the power transmission (up to 100 W) or the transmission of two electrically isolated voltages (50 W US/UA each). The IP65 devices feature new standardized M12 connections (L-/D-coded) with duo contour. This ensures flexible field wiring with classic M12 screw connectors or pushpull fast-locking. NearFi is a contactless real-time transmission technology. It allows the transmission of power and The new versions of the NearFi couplers from Phoenix Contact make it possible to double the range for wireless data transmission. In addition, they provide double the power for automatic current compensation or the forwarding of two electrically isolated voltages (US/UA) with parallel connection. data across an air gap. Thanks to protocol-independent and latencyfree Ethernet communication, it opens up flexible application options for all Ethernet protocols up to 100 Mbps. This means that wear-prone connections and slip rings in industrial applications can be easily replaced and downtime costs can be minimized. Successful data exchange is indicated by an LED ring that provides all-round visibility from every position. In this way, the NearFi couplers can be put into operation as easily as a connector. In the factory of the future, there will no longer be any physical connections in moving applications. Production downtimes due to bent or worn contacts are a thing of the past. Robots change tools quickly and efficiently. Automated guided vehicle systems receive their transport orders contactlessly. The use of multi-level terminal blocks offers huge potential savings when it comes to the space required in the control cabinet. The new and particularly compact PT 2,5-4L four-level terminal block series with Push-in Technology from Phoenix Contact is a space-saving solution for mounting terminal strips. a high degree of flexibility. They enable both vertical and horizontal potential distribution and the accommodation of various test accessories. In addition, the terminal blocks are equipped with large marking areas, allowing the individual levels to be marked separately and providing an optimal overview. The new fourlevel terminal blocks are part of the Clipline complete terminal block system and are therefore compatible with standardised accessories from Phoenix Contact, which reduces logistics costs.
