Low-profile bus housing for parallel and serial wiring
20 November 2002Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
A new low-profile ME bus housing from Phoenix Contact is specially designed for bus applications. With an overall height of 92 and 105 mm it is suitable for use in decentralised control boxes.
A cross connection link integrated into the base makes it possible to configure bus connections efficiently by simply locking the housing together, so there is no need for any additional wiring. A five or 10-pole cross connection link serves parallel contact through the board and is suitable both for transmitting bus and control signals, for ground, and for power supply. By using two additional contacts serial transmission can also take place. Consequently, the input signals can be processed via the PC board.
The volume of the installation compartment is larger than that of comparable housing: with an overall width of 22,5 mm there are up to 24 connection poles available on up to three levels. Time-saving attachment of the hood to the populated PCB is performed as with the entire ME family: by simply latching into place with no tools required. To be able to implement basic configurations in the electronics the 'hood with PCB' unit can be pulled out of the base. An improvement in EMC properties is achieved by a contact integrated into the base which makes a connection between the PCB and the mounting rail.
