1240320

Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1240320 is a heavy-duty power connector contact insert belonging to the RC series. It features a male polarity configuration with six contacts designed for robust industrial connections. The component supports a rated current of 20A and operates at a voltage of 48V. Constructed as a plug-in insert, it integrates into compatible heavy-duty housing systems to provide reliable electrical continuity in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides secure electrical interconnection via a six-contact male insert design
• Engineered for high-current applications with a 20A rating
• Compatible with standard heavy-duty connector housing systems

Applications

• Industrial machinery power distribution
• Control cabinet wiring assemblies
• Heavy-duty equipment connection points

Procurement Notes

Verify that the mating housing corresponds to the RC series specifications to ensure proper fit and function. Confirm that the application voltage does not exceed the 48V rating and that the load current remains within the 20A limit. Ensure compatibility with existing cable termination methods required by the insert design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this insert when a male polarity configuration is required for six-circuit power transmission. Ensure the chosen housing system supports the RC series interface. Verify that the operational environment aligns with the connector's environmental protection ratings and temperature limits specified in the official documentation.

Part Context

This component is part of the Phoenix Contact RC series, which offers modular solutions for heavy-duty power connectivity. The series is designed to facilitate flexible assembly configurations by allowing separate selection of housings and contact inserts. This specific insert complements various hood and base options within the same ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the six-contact count, male polarity, and RC series interface. Verify dimensional compatibility with the intended housing. Cross-reference official Phoenix Contact interchangeability lists for confirmed equivalent part numbers.
