1 Secure connections with a long tradition What started in 1923, with the sale of simple contact wire terminals for electric trams, has long since developed into a worldwide success story. Today, the Division Device Connectors at Phoenix Contact represents innovative connection technology and housing systems, which always sets new standards. 1 9 2 3 1 9 2 8 2 0 1 3 1 9 6 7 1 9 7 4 2 0 1 4 2 0 1 1 9 7 9 1 9 8 0 1 9 8 2 1 9 9 3 1 9 9 Founded in 1923 In Essen, Germany, Hugo Knümann founds a commercial agency for electrical products and sells contact wire terminals for electric trams. Soon after, the young company becomes Phönix Elektrizitätsgesellschaft (Phoenix Electricity Company). Modular terminal block Working together with Rhine- Westphalia Electricity Works (RWE), Hugo Knümann develops the first modular terminal block. MKDS At the "Electronica" fair, the miniature terminal block for printed circuits (MKDS) is introduced; it is used as an example for screw connection to printed boards. This step heralds the era of the "green electronics range". ME-PLC Multifunctional ME-PLC electronics housing with modular connection system on the front side and bus connector on the rear side. M23 HYBRID The new M23 hybrid connectors transmit signals, data, and power simultaneously in a single connector. This solution saves time and space when cabling electrical devices. EM First empty electronics housing. FFKDS First PCB terminal block with 2.54 mm pitch. Coninvers In order to distributed Phoenix Contact circular connector means of product range. KDS The first pin PCB terminal block is aligned with another. FDKS First PCB terminal block with spring connection. MSTB First plug-in PCB terminal block.
