1490378

Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1490378 is a panel feed-through connector from the IPD product family, designed for reliable power distribution. It features a push-in connection method with five positions (four signal plus one protective earth). The unit accepts cable cross-sections ranging from 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² and is rated for 600 V and 17.5 A. Constructed with polyamide housing, it offers IP66, IP68, and IP69K protection ratings and utilizes an M25 thread size for secure mounting.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes push-in spring technology for simple, time-saving field wiring without tools
• Provides reliable installation with high ingress protection ratings suitable for harsh environments
• Enables easy power distribution through direct component plugging capabilities

Applications

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Panel feed-through installations requiring robust environmental sealing
• Power distribution systems in automated machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the M25 thread size and 0.5-2.5 mm² wire range. Confirm compatibility with the mating IPD series connectors. Ensure the polyamide housing material meets the chemical resistance requirements of the operating environment. Check that the 600 V rating aligns with system voltage specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when tool-free termination is required for standard industrial power circuits. The IPD W 5F2,5 F variant is appropriate for applications needing four signal contacts and one ground. Consider the straight body style and M25 entry point for panel thickness and cable diameter constraints. Verify that the push-in connection force is manageable for the intended assembly process.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IPD series of circular metric connectors by Phoenix Contact. The series focuses on modular power distribution solutions using push-lock connections. The 1490378 specifically serves as a panel feed-through unit, allowing cables to pass through enclosures while maintaining electrical continuity and environmental sealing for downstream connected devices.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before considering alternative manufacturers or different Phoenix Contact series variants.
