From the Sensor to the Controller: Reliable Signal Transmission in Confined Spaces

The needs of system operators have changed drastically – there is a trend for higher packing density in the control cabinet and consequently ever narrower components. With “Termitrab complete”, Phoenix Contact is now launching the world’s narrowest surge protection for MCR technology (measurement, control, and regulation) – the narrowest devices are just 3.5 mm wide (Figure 1 High safety for persons and the environment – ensured by a comprehensive surge protection with minimal space requirements).
