PHOENIX CONTACT PLC BSC 24DC/21 ART NR 29 66 01 6 / NO 2961105 LOT OF -5 17.58

Product: PHOENIX CONTACT PLC-BSC… 24DC/21

1. Product Type:
This is a Buffered Splicing Connector (BSC) from the PLC (Printed Circuit Board Connection) series. It is designed for easy, tool-free connection of wires directly to a printed circuit board (PCB).

2. Key Features & Purpose:

• Buffered (Spring-Loaded) Connection: The “BSC” stands for “Buffered Splicing Connector.” It has a spring-loaded clamp that opens when you insert a screwdriver, allowing for quick and secure wire connection without tools. The “buffered” part means it has a built-in stop to prevent over-insertion of the tool, protecting the internal mechanism.

• PCB Mount: It is soldered directly onto a circuit board, acting as a robust and reusable connection point.

• Splicing Function: It can connect one or two wires (typically one incoming and one outgoing) to a single point on the PCB, effectively “splicing” the wire through the board.

• Cross-Connection: It allows for the creation of horizontal cross-connections on a PCB when used with bridging accessories.

3. Technical Specifications:

• Rated Current: 21 Amps (A)

• Rated Voltage: 24 Volts Direct Current (24 V DC)

• Color: Typically orange, which is standard for Phoenix Contact’s PLC connectors.

• Connection Technology: Spring-cage connection according to the CAGE CLAMP® principle.

• Wire Range: Suitable for solid or stranded conductors, typically up to 4 mm² (AWG 10-12).
