With new Push-X technology, Phoenix Contact makes connection technology for PCB connectors direct, tool-free and automation- capable. Thanks to compatibility with Phoenix Contact’s headers, XPC provides a fast, alternative connection solution.
XPC series connectors enable secure and fast connection of conductors.
