1240639

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1240639, designated as RC-09S1N120000X, is a circular connector contact insert manufactured by Phoenix Contact. This component features an M23 thread specification and utilizes a solder cup connection type for secure electrical interfacing. The insert supports a standard rotation direction and comprises nine poles, specifically configured with eight signal positions plus one ground position. Constructed for robust industrial applications, it adheres to lead-free manufacturing standards. The product belongs to the NC, RC, RM, TU, and UC series families, ensuring compatibility within broader Phoenix Contact circular connector systems designed for demanding environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes M23 threaded interface for standardized mechanical mounting
• Employs solder cup termination method for reliable electrical connections
• Configured with nine poles including dedicated grounding capability
• Complies with lead-free material requirements for environmental safety

Applications

• Industrial automation control panels requiring M23 connectivity
• Sensor and actuator wiring harness assemblies
• Heavy-duty machinery signal transmission systems
• Process instrumentation interface modules

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required contact insertion type matches the solder cup specification rather than crimp or push-in variants. Confirm the pole count aligns with system designs requiring eight signal lines and one ground. Ensure compatibility with the specific housing series from the NC, RC, RM, TU, or UC family. Check for any regional regulatory compliance documentation if operating in restricted substance zones. Validate mechanical dimensions against existing panel cutouts before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this insert when a fixed solder termination is preferred over field-wireable options for permanent installations. Consider the nine-pole configuration if simultaneous signal and ground routing is necessary within a single compact housing. Evaluate the M23 size constraint against available cable diameters and strain relief requirements. Assess whether the standard rotation direction meets assembly orientation needs without requiring specialized locking mechanisms.

Part Context

This component serves as a critical internal element within Phoenix Contact's modular circular connector ecosystem. It interfaces directly with mating housings to provide structured electrical pathways. The design emphasizes durability and consistent performance in vibration-prone environments. Integration with compatible inserts allows for scalable I/O configurations across various industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Phoenix Contact M23 solder inserts with identical pole counts. Verify cross-compatibility with existing housing models before swapping components. Ensure replacement units maintain the same lead-free certification status.
