Phoenix Contact 2713722 DIN Rail Bus Connector for Electronics Housing

The Phoenix Contact 2713722 is a high-quality DIN rail bus connector specifically engineered for seamless integration with modular electronics housings. This 5-position component is designed to facilitate efficient signal and power distribution within industrial control cabinets, providing a robust and reliable connection for complex electronic systems. Featuring gold-plated contacts, it ensures superior conductivity and long-term stability even in demanding operational environments.

Advantages

This bus connector offers significant benefits for modular system design by enabling quick and secure electrical connections between individual electronics housings mounted on a DIN rail. The use of gold-plated contact surfaces provides excellent corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity, which is essential for sensitive electronic applications. Its compact design and 3.81 mm pitch allow for high-density component arrangement, optimizing space within control cabinets while maintaining high performance standards of 8A and 125V.

Suitable for

• Modular electronic systems in industrial control cabinets
• Automation and control technology applications
• Distributed power and signal distribution systems
• Electronics housing configurations requiring frequent module replacement

When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically designed for use with compatible electronics housings and DIN rail systems. It may not be suitable for applications requiring high-current loads exceeding 8A or voltages higher than 125V. Additionally, it is not intended for direct connection to standard electrical wiring without the appropriate housing interface.

Key specifications

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch: 3.81 mm
• Current rating: 8A
• Voltage rating: 125V
• Contact surface: Gold-plated
• Color: Light gray
• Mounting type: DIN rail bus connector

How to use

To use the connector, snap it onto the standard DIN rail within your control cabinet. Align the electronics housing with the bus connector interface and press firmly until the module is securely seated. The gold-plated contacts will automatically establish the electrical connection between the housing and the bus system, ensuring stable signal and power transmission across the modular setup.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific electronics housing model
• Ensure the current and voltage requirements of your system do not exceed the connector ratings
• Check the DIN rail dimensions for proper fitment
• Confirm the number of positions matches your system architecture

Usage recommendations

Ensure that the DIN rail is properly grounded and that all modules are fully engaged with the bus connector to maintain optimal electrical contact and system safety. Avoid exposing the gold-plated contacts to contaminants or harsh chemicals during installation.
