1968329

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1968329 is a fixed printed-circuit board connector belonging to the FKC series. It features a 10-position configuration with a 5.08 mm pitch. The component supports a nominal cross-section of 2.5 mm² and carries a nominal current rating of 12 A. Its rated voltage is specified as 320 V under category III/2 conditions. The housing is green, and the contact surface is tin-plated.

Feature Summary

• Fixed terminal block design for secure PCB mounting
• Tin-plated contacts for reliable electrical connection
• Green housing for visual identification

Applications

• Industrial control panel wiring
• Signal distribution in automation systems
• Connection of sensors and actuators to control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Phoenix Contact documentation to ensure compatibility with your specific application requirements. Confirm that the 5.08 mm pitch and 10-position count match your PCB layout. Check for any specific environmental certifications or material compliance data required by your project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed, non-spring cage terminal block is required for 2.5 mm² wires on a PCB. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the 320 V rated voltage. Consider the tin contact surface for general purpose applications where high corrosion resistance is not the primary constraint compared to silver-plated alternatives.

Part Context

This component is part of Phoenix Contact's FKC series of fixed PCB connectors. These connectors are designed for straightforward and robust connections between stranded or solid wires and printed circuit boards. The series offers various pin counts and pitches to accommodate different density and current requirements in industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5.08 mm pitch, 10 positions, and 2.5 mm² wire capacity. Verify mechanical dimensions and locking mechanisms if space constraints exist. Alternative Phoenix Contact models within the same series may offer different contact materials or color codes.
