Phoenix Contact
Product details
Phoenix Contact's 3209895 establishes new standards in Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets for renewable energy systems. This innovative interconnect solution is specifically developed for solar and wind power applications, combining high-voltage capability with environmental resistance. The Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets delivers reliable performance in utility-scale renewable energy installations.The Plug, Female Sockets architecture incorporates UV-resistant materials for outdoor installations. Compared to standard components, it provides 50% better weather resistance in desert and coastal environments.Available in 4 positions, the design supports both string and combiner box configurations. The parallel contact arrangement minimizes power loss in high-current PV applications.With 4 positions per level, the layout optimizes heat dissipation in enclosed junction boxes. The thermal modeling confirms 15 C lower operating temperatures than conventional designs.The 1 stacking capability enables vertical expansion in combiner boxes. This approach maintains proper creepage distances while maximizing space utilization.Engineered with 180° entry options, the system accommodates both top and side cable entry. The weatherproof strain relief prevents moisture ingress in outdoor installations.The Screwless - Push-In Spring technology ensures reliable connections in vibrating wind turbine nacelles. The corrosion-resistant materials withstand salt spray and industrial atmospheres.Free Hanging (In-Line) installation satisfies both rail and direct mounting requirements. The universal design simplifies maintenance in hard-to-access locations.Meeting 24A IEC standards, the design handles reverse current flow during fault conditions. The robust construction withstands short-circuit forces without deformation.The 500 V certification includes testing for altitude derating. The design maintains performance at 3000m elevation without reduction in voltage rating.Rated for 20 A continuous current, the contacts utilize silver-nickel alloys. This material combination minimizes resistance rise during thermal cycling.The 300 V rating includes design margin for voltage spikes in PV systems. The insulation system withstands 2000V DC without degradation.Compatible with 12-26 AWG PV wire, the termination system includes integrated oxide-piercing features. This ensures low-resistance connections with aluminum conductors.The Gray housing incorporates solar industry-standard color coding. The high-reflectivity surface reduces heat absorption in direct sunlight.
