Electronic Housings

The trend towards distributing the electronics directly into the system and miniaturizing electronic modules to form compact, easy-to-mount devices, has led to the necessity for more and more appropriate electronic housings with integrated connection facilities. The housing must be designed in such a way that it can be directly mounted on standard rails.

The wide range of Phoenix Contact component housings and p.c. board bases for direct mounting on both EN rails provides the user with all the advantages of a compact housing range together with flexibility when it comes to shape and design. The product line includes housings for accommodating printed circuit boards ranging from just a few square centimeters up to Euro-cards and beyond.

Housing Program
The range of housings from Phoenix Contact comprises:

• Component housings, which permit shock and dust-proof accommodation of electronic components.
• P.C. board bases, which are especially suitable for large-volume modules. The electronics remain freely accessible, e.g. for manually operated components and connectors.
• Rail adapter for mounting devices on the standard DIN rail.
  

Snap-in Principle
The assembly time has a major influence on the production costs of the device.

By dispensing with unnecessary fitting processes and connecting elements, the device can be installed efficiently without using additional tools.

Flexibility
The housings are designed in accordance with the modular principle.

Different housing variants with a small variety of parts are available at short notice. This eliminates the need for complicated warehousing and part logistics.

Individual Design
For a certain quantity, it is always possible to manufacture the housings in other colors.

Connection Method
A variable connection technique is essential to allow various types of connections, e.g. screw and slip-on connections or multi-position electronic connectors, to be employed.

Printed Circuit Boards (PCB's)
A practical housing program geared to the user's requirements guarantees that standard printed circuit boards can be used.
