Phoenix Contact: Electronics housings for high-performance devices

February 10, 2020

Phoenix Contact is now also supplying its modular ICS series DIN rail housings in an overall width of 50 mm. The new electronics housings accommodate up to four printed circuit boards, making them suitable for even more powerful automation concepts such as I/O groups.

DIN rail connectors enable easy module-to-module communication. The entire series now encompasses overall widths of 20, 25, and 50 mm as well as overall heights of 77, 100, and 122 mm.

Standardized device connections such as RJ45, USB, D-SUB, and antenna sockets are also supplemented by codable PCB connectors for the housing series. The connectors with 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm pitches are designed for currents up to 16 A and voltages up to 300 V. They are compatible with the existing connection technology range. The coding element integrated into the connector parts provides reliable protection against mismatching thanks to connection of connectors and headers for the first time.

Expanding Automation in the Food Processing Industry

The food processing industry has embraced automation, and indications are that its adoption in the food and beverage industry is expanding rapidly. According to a robotics report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in 2021, “the food and beverage industry installed 25% more robots, reaching a new peak level.” A reason for this growth, the report suggests, may be that the robotics industry offered hygienic solutions, which were in demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
