The SPC 5 and SPC 16 spring-cage plug connectors from Phoenix Contact offer an easy-to-install and time-saving solution for wiring in PCB connection technology. Both plug connectors are designed with a combi/spring, spring-cage connector for direct tool-free connection to the PCB.

This spring permits the connection of flexible cables with cross-sections up to 6mm² and rigid cables with cross-sections up to 10mm² with the SPC 5 plug connector. Thus a current of 41A can be transmitted with a 7.62mm pitch.

The SPC 16 plug connector with pitch size 10.16mm also permits the tool-free connection of flexible cables with a cross-section up to 16mm2 with minimal force. The current loading capacity in this case is 76 A.

Both plug connectors have unrestricted 600V UL approval in use group C and are thus appropriate for use on the international market. They are compatible with market standard housings and thus offer an alternative to plug connectors with screw connections.
