Phoenix Contact
Product details
The 1628857 by Phoenix Contact revolutionizes Circular Connectors - Housings technology for renewable energy systems. Combining extreme environmental resistance with high-current capacity, this connector is engineered for solar farm combiners and wind turbine pitch control systems where reliability is paramount.As a Plug Housing solution, it integrates power and data contacts in a single compact package. The dual-contact design reduces installation time by 40% in field deployments.Optimized for For Male Pins configurations, the contact system handles 100A surge currents without degradation. The arc-resistant design meets UL 1977 requirements for photovoltaic applications.With 8 (4 + 3 Power + PE) arrangement options, the connector supports various power distribution schemes. The optimized contact pitch prevents corona discharge at altitudes up to 3000m.Compatible with M23-8 inserts, allowing flexible power/signal configurations. The floating insert accommodates panel warpage up to 2mm.Crimp termination ensures reliable connections in thermally dynamic environments. The spring-loaded contacts compensate for thermal expansion differences.Designed for 1.0mm (4), 2.0mm Power (4) contacts, the current density remains below 200A/cm at full load. The optimized contact geometry reduces insertion force by 25%.The Free Hanging (In-Line) installation withstands 25G shock loads in wind turbine nacelles. The vibration-resistant design maintains contact integrity under 5-500Hz random vibration.Push-Twist locking mechanism ensures positive engagement in high-vibration environments. The self-locking feature prevents accidental disconnection during operation.The Gadolinium-Zinc construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in coastal environments. Salt fog testing shows no corrosion after 2000 hours exposure.The Silver identification system simplifies maintenance in large-scale arrays. High-visibility pigments remain detectable in all weather conditions.Rated IP66/IP68/IP69K - Dust Tight, Water Resistant, Waterproof, the design withstands high-pressure water jets during panel washing. The triple-seal system prevents moisture ingress during thermal cycling.The Backshell, Coupling Nut include integrated lightning protection up to 10kA impulse current. The gas-discharge tube design protects sensitive electronics from surge damage.Shielded effectiveness meets EN 61000-6-2 industrial immunity standards. The continuous braid design provides 70dB attenuation at 100MHz.
