The new CK1.6 crimp contacts feature an optimized partial gold plating concept. This reduces the use of precious metals and provides users with greater cost stability in the face of gold price fluctuations. At the same time, the electrical properties required for industrial applications, as well as corrosion resistance, are maintained. For efficient series production, the contacts are available as strip material for fully automated processing. This significantly accelerates crimping processes and expands production capacity. Additionally, individual contact variants are available for manual assembly and flexible field applications.
The new contacts cover larger conductor cross-section ranges than other similar solutions. This reduces the number of required product variants and simplifies inventory management. Users benefit from greater product selection flexibility and a more efficient procurement process. The partially gold-plated CK1.6 crimp contacts are fully compatible with existing HEAVYCON contact inserts and modules. This allows current interface concepts to continue to be used without modification. With this expanded product range, Phoenix Contact offers a cost-effective solution for automated manufacturing processes while simultaneously reinforcing the future viability of its industrial connection technology.
