1405879

Overview

The Phoenix Contact part number 1405879 corresponds to the HC-B 16-I-PT-M contact element. This component is a male polarity-fixed contact designed for power applications within the HC-B series connector systems. It features a push-in connection technology and supports a rated voltage of 500 V with a nominal current capacity of 16 A. The unit accommodates flexible conductors with cross-sections ranging from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm². It is constructed as a single-pole element intended for integration into B16 sized housing modules.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes push-in connection technology for secure conductor attachment without tools
• Designed as a fixed-polarity male contact element for power distribution
• Compatible with flexible conductors equipped with ferrules

Applications

• Integration into HC-B series heavy-duty connector housings
• Power circuit connections in industrial control cabinets
• Construction of modular plug-and-socket systems requiring IP54 protection or higher

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order quantity matches the manufacturer's standard packaging configuration, which may differ from individual unit requirements. Confirm compatibility with the target HC-B housing size and ensure the application environment meets the specified insulation material temperature indices. Cross-reference the official datasheet to validate the exact pin assignment and mechanical dimensions against the system design constraints before finalizing the purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed male contact is required for the HC-B 16 series. Ensure the wiring harness utilizes flexible conductors with ferrules, as rigid wires are not supported by the push-in mechanism. Verify that the operating voltage does not exceed 500 V and that the load current remains within the 16 A limit. Consider the environmental conditions, specifically the UL 94 V0 flammability rating and pollution degree 3 classification, to ensure suitability for the installation site.

Part Context

This contact element belongs to the HC-B product family, which provides modular solutions for industrial connectivity. The HC-B series is engineered for robust performance in demanding environments, offering high current carrying capacities and reliable signal transmission. These components are widely used in automation and process industries where durable, tool-free assembly and maintenance are critical for operational efficiency.
