Phoenix Contact VAL-SQ NP Surge Protective Device


Phoenix Contact introduces its first pluggable surge protective device (SPD) that mounts directly in a standard load center in place of two 1-inch circuit breakers: the VAL-SQ NP.

The VAL-SQ NP is an SPD that provides whole-house surge protection in a panel-mount, pluggable form. It contains a high-energy suppression circuit that provides 32 kA (8/20 μs) of surge current protection per phase. Each surge suppression mode also has over-current and thermal fusing for safety.

The VAL-SQ NP has the same footprint as two standard 1-inch pitch circuit breakers, operating status lights to provide verification of protection, and allows homeowners to safely replace the plug themselves. Similar products in the industry require the skills of an electrician to replace the surge component at end-of-life.

FEATURES
  • 32 kA (8/20 μs) surge current capacity per phase protects against high-energy lightning strikes and transient voltages
  • Initial installation by a certified electrician; plug replacement by homeowner
  • UL nominal surge discharge current (In) rating of 10 kA
  • LEDs provide continuous feedback on the status of each phase
  • UL 1449 3rd edition classified


Phoenix Contact PTU Hybrid Terminal Blocks


Phoenix Contact introduces a new size of push-in spring technology hybrid terminal block.  The PTU 2.5-TWIN and PTU 4-TWIN hybrid blocks offer one screw connection and two push-in connections.  These hybrid blocks give the best of both worlds: fast, simple push-in connection for factory wiring, and familiar screw-connection for field wiring.

The PT terminal blocks allow easy and fast termination of ferruled wires by simply pushing the wire into the block. Stranded wire is terminated by pushing the orange actuator, opening the spring for the insertion of the wire.  All new versions are compatible with the Clipline Complete system of bridging, marking, test accessories, and plug-in components.

FEATURES

  • Push-in connection of ferruled wires to save time
  • Double-bridging channel between technology types for easy power distribution
  • PT 2.5-TWIN - 26-12 AWG; 20A @ 600V
  • PT 4-TWIN - 24-15 AWG; 30A @ 600V

Phoenix Contact VL BPC 3000 / VL PPC 3000 IPCs


Phoenix Contact's addition of two models, the VL BPC 3000 (PN 2400183) and the VL PPC 3000 (PN 2400184), provides you with increased performance as well as a migration path from current models. This advanced product offers numerous features and configuration options that have never been offered before in the Valueline series.


FEATURES
  • DisplayPort++ with support for up to three displays
  • 1 x USB 3.0 port, 3 x USB 2.0 ports
  • Benefits of a modern chipset and updated processor
  • Intel Core i3 - 4010U processor
  • Fanless design
  • Up to 16 GB of RAM
  • Mass storage options (CFast, HDD and SDD formats)
  • Two PCI expansion slots are available
  • Compact rugged housing
  • Flexible mounting options (panel, wall, bookshelf)
  • 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with independent MAC addresses
The VL 3000 series features the fourth-generation Intel Core i3-4010U processor, which benchmarks twice as fast as our Core2Duo L7400. This IPC is the same form factor as the rest of the series, making the VL 3000 a drop in replacement for current Phoenix Contact installations.

Phoenix Contact Basicline Configurable Box PC


The Basicline BL BPC 2000 is a configurable box PC that can be mounted either directly on a wall or on a DIN rail. The BL BPC 2000 utilizes the Intel® Celeron® quad-core N2930 2.16 GHz processor, chosen for its balance of processing power and energy efficiency. The small footprint, fanless design and rich I/O capability make the BL BPC 2000 a product that can be used in a wide variety of applications. The three built-in COM ports enable connections to legacy RS-232 devices. One of the COM ports can also be configured for RS-422 or RS-485 protocols.

The BL BPC 2001 is built on the exact same platform as the BL BPC 2000. While the BL BPC 2000 is configurable, the BL BPC 2001 has a fixed configuration that does not include mass storage or operating system.

FEATURES

  • Energy-efficient Intel Celeron quad-core processors
  • Fanless design
  • DIN rail- and wall-mounting options
  • CFast® card, hard-disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) options
  • Embedded operating system support
  • Three COM ports
  • USB 3.0
  • Two DP++ display ports
