Power Plug Connectors

Phoenix Contact's PC 5 connector family now comes in a more compact design. The dimensions are 15% smaller than the original design, while maintaining the same high-performance data of the original PC 5 connector.

Using the new connectors, installers can wire currents up to 41 amps UL and conductors up to 8 AWG in a smaller space. This allows a more compact equipment design. All of the connectors are plug-compatible to the existing PC 5 and PC 4 headers and panel-mount plug connectors.
