Phoenix Contact Parts, New Zealand

RFQ / Phoenix Contact

Terminal blocks, power supplies, relays, I/O and connectors. Send us the seven-digit order number.

Phoenix Contact is in almost every control panel in New Zealand. Terminal blocks, DIN rail power supplies, interface relays, modular I/O, surge protection, networking and connectors.

Most of it is consumable. Terminal blocks get added to, power supplies fail, relay modules wear out. We supply the current range as a distributor and hold surplus for the discontinued parts.

CONTACTRON hybrid motor starters ELR order numbers. H3 versus H5, the function letters, and group shutdown

I/O and networking

Page Covers
Axioline and Inline I/O Axioline F and Smart Elements, why Smart Elements need a backplane, bus couplers and Inline
Factoryline switches and networking FL SWITCH and mGuard. Managed versus unmanaged, port codes and PoE

The order number is what identifies the part

Phoenix Contact uses a seven-digit order number alongside the type designation, and the number is what you should send us.

The reason is colour. The same terminal block in a different colour is a different part.

Order number Type Colour
3044076 UT 2,5 Grey
3044089 UT 2,5 BU Blue

Identical specification, different colour, different order number. Both are 1000 V, 24 A, screw connection, 2.5 mm sq nominal, 0.14 to 4 mm sq range, on NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 rail.

BU is blue, conventionally used for neutral, and PE is green-yellow for protective conductor.

The parts that need other parts

This pattern runs across the Phoenix range and is worth knowing before you order anything modular.

Part What it also needs
PLC-BSC relay base A plug-in relay. The base alone does nothing
AXL SE Smart Elements An AXL F BP backplane. No bus communication without one
Terminal strips End cover, two end clamps, and bridges if terminals are linked
Fuse terminals The fuse itself, ordered separately
Interface relay banks FBST bridges for potential distribution
CONTACTRON group shutdown DIN rail connectors
HEAVYCON assemblies Contact insert, frame, housing and PE contact, all separate

Tell us what you are building and we will include the parts that make it work rather than just the ones you named.

The base plus replaceable element pattern

Worth knowing because it usually means the cheaper order is the right one.

Range Stays in place Gets replaced
PLC-INTERFACE PLC-BSC base, wired REL-MR plug-in relay
Surge protection VAL-MS base element The ST protective plug

If a relay has worn out or a surge protector has done its job, the base and its wiring are usually fine. Order the element, not the assembly. On a panel with thirty of them that is a substantial difference.

The connection technology is in the family name

Family Connection
UT Screw connection
UK Screw connection, earlier generation
ST Spring-cage connection
PT Push-in connection
QT Quick connection
CLIPLINE complete The system all of these belong to

Push-in is the fastest to wire because a ferruled conductor pushes straight in without a tool. Spring-cage needs a screwdriver to open the clamp. Screw needs torquing.

If you are extending an existing terminal strip, match the family. Mixing screw and push-in on one rail works electrically but makes the panel harder to maintain and bridges are not shared.

Note that SC and PT also appear as connection codes in the CONTACTRON range, and SP in the MACX Analog range, all meaning screw or push-in. Same idea, different letters depending on where you are in the catalogue.

What we can supply

Current production. The full CLIPLINE terminal range, QUINT and TRIO power supplies, PLC-INTERFACE relays, CONTACTRON starters, MINI and MACX Analog, Axioline I/O, surge protection, Factoryline switches, connectors and marking systems. Quoted with a delivered lead time.

Bulk and panel-build orders. Terminal blocks, interface relays and connectors are the definition of a bulk item. Send us the schedule and we will quote the lot including bridges, end covers, markers and rail.

Discontinued. Older UK terminals, earlier power supply generations, Inline IB IL parts and superseded signal conditioners. Surplus and tested used.

What to send us

The seven-digit order number. That is the definitive identifier, especially where colour variants exist.

Or the type designation and colour. UT 2,5 BU is enough for us to find 3044089.

For a panel build, the schedule. We will include the accessories that get forgotten.

Common questions

Can you get a part that is not listed on your site?
Usually. The site shows what we hold, not what we can source. Send the order number.

Do you supply in packs?
Terminal blocks are normally supplied in packs of 50 or 100 depending on the type. Tell us the quantity you need and we will quote accordingly.

I only need the relay, not the whole module.
Then that is what we will quote. See the interface relay page.

What is the lead time?
Ex stock items ship the next working day within New Zealand. We give you a firm lead time with the quote.

Do you quote in NZD?
Yes, in NZD including GST for New Zealand customers.
