Phoenix VIP-3 Series: Industrial Interface & Connection Modules - Selection Guide
Product Overview
The Phoenix VIP-3 Series consists of versatile industrial interface and connection modules designed for reliable signal transmission and device integration in automation systems. Split into two core sub-series (SC/PT) based on terminal types, these modules feature diverse interface configurations (D-Sub, RJ45, HD-Sub, PDM power distribution) and functional variants (LED status indication, hardware coding, device-specific compatibility). With robust construction, 35mm DIN rail mounting, and wide industrial compatibility, they’re ideal for connecting controllers, sensors, and industrial equipment in manufacturing, process automation, and control cabinet applications.
