Phoenix Contact has expanded its Combicon range with the GSMSTB 2,5 series of angled PCB connectors. Featuring a 45° cable connection direction, the connectors are designed to simplify wiring in confined installation spaces while supporting currents up to 12 A and voltages up to 630 V. The angled PCB connectors provide a space-saving cable outlet and are compatible with Phoenix Contact’s existing MSTB connector family, making them relevant for device manufacturers working with limited installation space. For eeNews Europe readers developing industrial electronics and embedded systems, the angled PCB connectors offer an alternative to straight and right-angle connections. The 45° cable outlet could help simplify wiring layouts where enclosure dimensions and access to terminals are limited. 45° cable connection and screw termination The GSMSTB 2,5 series features a 45° connection direction, allowing cables to be routed in confined spaces. The connectors use screw termination, a widely established connection method designed to provide robust and service-friendly electrical connections. According to Phoenix Contact, the high contact force also helps reduce heating. The angled PCB connectors accommodate conductor cross-sections ranging from 0.2 to 2.5 mm² and support currents of up to 12 A and operating voltages of up to 630 V. Compatibility with existing MSTB connectors The GSMSTB 2,5 series features a 7.62 mm pitch and is compatible with Phoenix Contact’s existing MSTB connector family using the same pitch. This compatibility is intended to simplify integration into existing device designs. Phoenix Contact offers versions with and without screw flanges to accommodate different installation requirements. The flanged version provides additional mechanical stability where needed. The GSMSTB 2,5 series extends the Combicon portfolio with a 45° connection option for device manufacturers requiring space-saving cable routing and screw termination.
