Phoenix Contact: Connecting Is a Snap

February 8, 2021

Phoenix Contact brings a new dimension of convenience to conductor connections with the lever-actuated PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors of the consistent LPT and LPC series. They combine the reliability of Push-in spring connection with extremely user-friendly lever actuation.

With its extended range, Phoenix Contact serves all performance classes up to more than 50 kW connected load. The position of the color-coded and intuitive lever signalizes visually and tangibly the defined status of the clamping space from the outside. Incorrectly closed clamping spaces, and therefore also faulty connections, are immediately apparent to you. It also means that the contact force is preprogrammed by the spring, so it always remains the same. By switching the lever, you are assured that the inserted conductor is contacted reliably and will remain stable in the long term. The straight and angled PCB terminal blocks of the LPT/LPTA series are available in versions for cross-sections of 2.5 mm², 6 mm², and 16 mm². The LPC/LPC(H) PCB terminal block portfolio includes product lines for conductor cross-sections of 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm², 6 mm², and 16 mm². Connect conductors with and without ferrules – conveniently and without tools.
