1462979

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1462979 is a test plug belonging to the FTPC-3/X9 series. It features a nominal voltage rating of 400V and a nominal current capacity of 20A. The device comprises nine electrical contacts configured for US ANSI standards, supporting 6S, 7S, 29S, and 36S contact insert types. Designed for terminal block accessories, it utilizes a gray housing (RAL7042) with a 9-position layout suitable for 2.5mm² nominal or #20AWG conductors.

Feature Summary

• Provides standardized testing interface for terminal blocks using US ANSI contact configurations
• Supports multiple contact insert types including 6S, 7S, 29S, and 36S within a single unit
• Engineered for secure connection with 2.5mm² nominal or #20AWG wire gauges

Applications

• Electrical testing of terminal block circuits
• Maintenance procedures for industrial control panels
• Quality assurance verification of Phoenix Contact terminal systems

Procurement Notes

Verify exact compatibility with specific terminal block models before acquisition. Confirm that the US ANSI configuration matches existing infrastructure requirements. Check for updated availability status as distribution channels may vary by region. Ensure the 9-position count aligns with circuit design needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when US ANSI standard compliance is required for terminal block testing. Choose based on the need for a multi-type contact support capability covering 6S, 7S, 29S, and 36S inserts. Consider the 20A current rating and 400V voltage limits for system safety margins.

Part Context
