1408702

Overview

The Phoenix Contact part number 1408702 corresponds to the HC-B 16-I-PT-M contact element. This component is a polarity-fixed contact insert designed for heavy-duty power applications within the HC-B series connector system. It features a B16 housing size and supports 16 poles plus a protective earth (PE) connection. The unit utilizes push-in connection technology, allowing for tool-free assembly of flexible conductors with ferrules. Rated for 500 V and 16 A, it accommodates wire cross-sections from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm². The contacts are made of rolled material, and the component is intended for mounting in enclosures with an IP54 rating or higher.

Feature Summary

• Push-in connection technology enables rapid, tool-free termination of flexible conductors equipped with ferrules.
• Polarity-fixed design ensures correct orientation during assembly into the connector housing.
• Supports 16 signal poles and one protective earth pole for comprehensive power distribution.
• Constructed with rolled contact material for reliable electrical conductivity.

Applications

• Heavy-duty power distribution systems
• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Machine building interconnections

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the HC-B 16-I-PT-M designation to ensure compatibility with the corresponding B16 housing. Confirm that the application environment meets the required IP54 protection level when installed. Ensure that only flexible conductors with appropriate ferrules are used, as rigid wires are not supported by the push-in mechanism. Cross-reference the pin numbering sequence if precise circuit mapping is critical for the installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed polarity contact insert is required for the HC-B 16 series. It is suitable for applications requiring push-in termination without screw tools. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed 500 V and current load remains within the 16 A limit. Verify that the housing provides adequate environmental protection, as the contact element itself relies on the enclosure for ingress protection.

Part Context

This contact element belongs to the HC-B series, a modular system for heavy-duty connectors. It serves as the internal interface between external cables and the connector's mating face. The B16 size indicates a specific footprint and pole count capacity within the broader product family, designed for robust industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are documented for this specific contact element configuration.

FAQ

What type of conductors are compatible with this contact element?

Only flexible conductors equipped with ferrules are compatible with the push-in connection technology of this component.

Does this component provide environmental protection?

No, the contact element must be mounted in a housing with at least an IP54 rating to achieve the necessary environmental protection.
