3209905

What type of component is this?

This is a 5-position plug for plug-in mounting, designed for conductor connection using push-in technology. It is intended for applications where compact, organised wiring and quick conductor insertion are important.

How many positions and connections does it have?

The plug has 5 positions, 1 level and 5 electrical connections. It is arranged as a single-potential plug format for straightforward multi-core termination.

What is the rated voltage and current?

The nominal voltage is 500 V and the nominal current is 24 A. The datasheet also states a rated surge voltage of 6 kV and overvoltage category III.

What wire sizes can be used with this plug?

It accepts solid conductors from 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² and flexible conductors from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm². The AWG range is 26 to 12, with flexible conductors typically up to AWG 14 depending on conductor type and ferrule use.

Does it use screw terminals?

No. This component uses a push-in connection method rather than a screw connection. That makes conductor insertion faster and helps create a neat, consistent wiring arrangement.

What stripping length is required?

The recommended stripping length is 8 mm to 10 mm. Keeping within that range helps achieve the intended conductor fit in the push-in connection.

What are the main dimensions of the plug?

The plug is 26 mm wide, 15.8 mm long and 40.2 mm high. These dimensions can be useful when checking enclosure space, connector spacing and mating layout.

What material and colour is the housing?

The housing is made from PA insulating material and is grey in colour. It has a UL 94 V0 flammability rating.

Is this plug suitable for railway or industrial applications?

Yes. Phoenix Contact 3209905 is described for use in the railway industry and machine building. The published data also includes fire performance information and railway-related standards references, which makes it a strong fit for demanding industrial installations.

Can ferrules be used with this connector?

Yes. Flexible conductors with ferrules can be used. For conductors with or without plastic sleeve ferrules, the supported range is 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm², and twin ferrules with plastic sleeve are supported up to 0.5 mm².

Is there space for identification or labelling?

Yes. A large-surface labelling option is listed as one of the product advantages. Marker strips and terminal markers are also available for organised identification of positions.

Are matching accessories available for assembly?

Yes. Documented accessories include cable housings, flange covers, insulating sleeves, latching elements, shield connection clamps, strain relief components, marker strips and test plugs. These allow the plug to be adapted for different panel and wiring requirements.

What cable housing is commonly matched with the 5-position version?

A matching 5-position cable housing is listed as PH 2,5/ 5. Related housings are also available in other position counts, which can be useful when standardising connector families across a machine or cabinet.

Which standards and approvals are associated with this plug?

The connection is specified in accordance with IEC 61984. The published approvals information includes recognitions such as UL Recognized, cUL Recognized, cULus Recognized, CSA and several marine-related approvals.

What temperature and environmental characteristics are stated?

The insulating material temperature index is 130 °C, and the component is specified for static insulating material application down to -60 °C. It is also listed with pollution degree 3 and insulating material group I.
