MIDDLETOWN, Pa. -- Phoenix Contact's new DUPLICON Power Distribution System is a stackable plug connector system that meets protection category IP67 standards. Designed for energy distribution in large-scale machinery and systems, DUPLICON is the first product of its kind to offer uninterrupted communication from the mounting rail in the control cabinet across the decentralized power distributor to the device connections in the field.

The DUPLICON connector has six positions plus ground in 24 to 12 AWG for 600V/ 25A for power, 24V and ASi bus. DUPLICON inserts use universal screw-connection technology and are compatible with Phoenix Contact's ST-COMBI plug connectors.
