3046168

Phoenix Contact's 3046168 represents the next generation of Terminal Blocks - Din Rail, Channel technology, optimized for 5G infrastructure deployments. The innovative contact design minimizes insertion loss while maximizing power handling capacity, making it perfect for RF signal distribution in telecom applications.Engineered with Disconnect isolation, this terminal block prevents signal degradation in high-frequency applications. The proprietary dielectric material maintains consistent impedance characteristics up to 6GHz.The Open safety feature enables hot-swapping of modules without powering down entire systems. The visible break design provides positive isolation verification.The 2 position array supports modular expansion for scalable base station configurations. Each contact point features gold-plated surfaces for reliable low-resistance connections.With 1 independent levels, the vertical stacking capability triples connection density versus conventional terminal blocks. This multi-tier architecture is ideal for space-constrained equipment racks.The 6.2mm terminal pitch complies with international standards for high-voltage spacing requirements. The precision-machined contacts ensure uniform pressure distribution across the entire conductor surface.The Screw interface combines the benefits of tool-less installation with military-grade retention force. Field tests demonstrate 10,000 insertion cycles without performance degradation.Capable of handling 20 A continuous current, the thermal design maintains safe operating temperatures in passive cooling environments. The current derating curve remains stable up to 70 C ambient.The 500V insulation rating exceeds typical telecom equipment requirements, providing additional safety margin for power-over-fiber applications. The hydrophobic housing material prevents moisture-related failures.UL-recognized for 16 A operation, the component meets stringent telecom central office requirements. The fault current withstand rating protects downstream equipment during short-circuit events.Tested at 300V per UL standards, the insulation system prevents flashover in high-altitude installations. The comparative tracking index exceeds 600V for reliable performance in humid climates.Accepting 10-26 AWG conductors, the universal terminal design eliminates the need for special lugs or ferrules. The captive screw design prevents complete removal during wire changes.The Gray housing incorporates UV-resistant pigments for outdoor deployment scenarios. The color remains stable after 5,000 hours of accelerated weathering testing.
