1240549

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1240549 is a contact insert belonging to the RC series, designed for heavy-duty power applications. It features a male configuration with nine contacts arranged in an 8+1 pole format. The component utilizes solder cup connections and is constructed from PBT material. It supports nominal voltages of 48V AC and 74V DC, with a rated current capacity of 20A. The unit complies with RoHS II regulations and holds EAC standards approval.

Feature Summary

• Male contact insert design for heavy-duty power connectivity
• Solder cup termination method for secure wire attachment
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS II directives

Applications

• Industrial automation systems
• Process control infrastructure
• Facility management electrical networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mating housing compatibility before integration, as this item functions strictly as a contact insert rather than a complete connector assembly. Confirm that the application environment aligns with the specified voltage ratings and current carrying capacity. Ensure that soldering equipment meets the requirements for the designated solder cup connection type to maintain mechanical integrity and electrical performance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, lead-free contact solution is required for heavy-duty industrial environments. The 8+1 pole arrangement suits applications needing multiple power lines alongside a dedicated ground or signal path. Consider the solder cup interface if through-hole mounting is preferred over spring-cage or screw terminals. Validate that the operating temperature range and pollution degree III classification meet the installation site conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Phoenix Contact RC series, which provides modular contact inserts for heavy-duty connector housings. These inserts allow for flexible configuration of power and signal circuits within standardized M23-style enclosures. The series is engineered for high durability and reliable performance in demanding industrial settings, supporting various contact counts and termination methods.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Phoenix Contact RC series inserts with identical 8+1 pole configurations and solder cup terminations. Verify cross-compatibility with existing housing models before replacement. Alternative manufacturers offering M23 heavy-duty inserts with matching electrical ratings and RoHS compliance should be evaluated for dimensional fit and certification alignment.
