Overview
The Phoenix Contact 1605200 (HC-B 16-AMQ-A) is a heavy-duty panel mounting base housing for the HEAVYCON series of rectangular connectors. This component provides a secure mechanical interface between the connector housing and panel-mounted installations, engineered to withstand demanding industrial environments. The base features a sheet steel construction with double locking latch mechanism and includes a flat gasket for environmental sealing.
Key Features
- Double Locking Latch: Ensures reliable connector retention and prevents accidental disengagement during operation or vibration.
- Sheet Steel Construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant material rated for industrial power and signal applications.
- Integrated Flat Gasket: Provides environmental sealing to protect against moisture ingress and maintain IP protection ratings.
- Panel Mount Design: Compact 27 mm height optimized for cabinet and panel integration.
- HEAVYCON Series Compatible: Works with B16-sized contact inserts for configurable power and signal transmission.
