Modular marshalling patchboard concept with colour coding system
Phoenix Contact's new push-in PTMC marshalling patch-boards achieve up to 20 per cent higher packing density with marshalling wiring in process technology, thanks to the modular concept and the compact design.
The individual marshalling patch-board elements snap into place easily and securely and can also be coded using 11 different colours. This ensures clearly arranged and fault-free wiring. The precise number of positions and the blocked form design, suitable for various applications, create a stable patch-board construction that is resistant to warping. The 2.3mm test connections are easily accessible, next to the connection points, enabling convenient testing with standard testing accessories. The pre-assembled marshalling patch-boards are available with four or six push-in connections per element in 32, 48 and 80-pos. designs. In terms of mounting type, there is a choice of direct, 19" rack and DIN rail mounting.
Phoenix Contact describes the PTRV marshalling terminal system as the most compact on the market with a length of just 100mm. It offers additions options for easy and clearly arranged marshalling wiring. Its key features include freely selectable colours, easily accessible test connections, and large-surface matrix marking. The marshalling terminals and marshalling patch-boards are designed for use in Ex i safety circuits up to 60V and are available as blue versions.
The marshalling patch-boards, which can be self-assembled, are configured and ordered with just a click of the mouse in the product area on the www.phoenixcontact.net/products website.
