Inspiring History – The History of Our Success – Phoenix Contact
Industrial gear units are used in many production activities worldwide, particularly in the heavy industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, and industrial machinery. These applications require significant mechanical work from the gear units and demand mechanical products that can get the work done reliably.
The hybrid terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact enable different connection technologies to be used for the interior and exterior sides of your control cabinet. The matching combination of simple Push-in connection on the interior control cabinet side and classic screw connection on the end-customer side provide you with practical solutions.
