Tool-free mounting of PCB connectors for two-piece electronics

The new PCB connectors from Phoenix Contact are aimed at two-piece electronics housings. The 1.5 CLIP PCB connectors boast standard latching geometry, so these compact connectors with 5.0- mm pitch can be latched onto the lower housing part without using any tools.

Here, the cost-optimized pin strips in the upper housing part are used to make contact with the PCB. And both housing parts can be pre-mounted and easily assembled during the startup process.

The PCB connectors come in a broad range, comprised of two- to 12-position versions for conductor cross-sections measuring from 0.2 mm² to 2.5 mm² . And the push-in connectors are designed for currents up to 10 A and voltages up to 400 V as per the IEC standard.
