1079590

Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1079590 is a PCB terminal block designed for secure electrical connections in industrial control environments. It features a nominal current rating of 24 A and supports a rated voltage of 800 V. The component utilizes a screw connection method with a pitch of 5.08 mm, accommodating conductors within a cross-section range of 0.5 to 2.5 mm². Constructed from polyamide (PA) housing material, it offers robust insulation properties and complies with relevant safety standards for electronic equipment.

Feature Summary

• Screw connection mechanism ensures reliable conductor fixation
• Polyamide housing provides high dielectric strength and thermal resistance
• Compact design facilitates dense mounting on printed circuit boards

Applications

• Industrial automation control panels
• Signal distribution in measurement and control technology
• Power supply unit interconnections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against official Phoenix Contact documentation to ensure compatibility with required accessories such as marking systems or bridging elements. Confirm that the mechanical dimensions align with the target PCB layout before procurement. Cross-reference technical data sheets for updated compliance certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 5.08 mm pitch and 24 A current capacity requirements. Ensure the operating environment temperature range matches the specified limits for polyamide materials. Consider auxiliary components like pluggable bridges if multiple phases require common potential distribution.

Part Context

This terminal block belongs to the Phoenix Contact universal series, characterized by standardized pitches and modular accessory options. It serves as a standard interface component between flexible wiring and rigid PCB traces in low-voltage distribution networks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5.08 mm pitch, 24 A rating, and screw termination type. Verify pinout configurations and housing dimensions to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
