Phoenix BRIDGE Series Bridges & Covers Selection Guide
This article provides a complete overview of Phoenix BRIDGE‑PT modular bridges, BRIDGE standard bridges, and BRIDGE COVERs, including specifications, features, applications, and selection methods, suitable for fast wiring and system expansion with CONTACTRON modules.
Product Overview
The BRIDGE series are 3‑phase bridging connectors for CONTACTRON modules, featuring plug‑in/screw connection, 22.5 mm width, operating voltage 42–575 V AC, rated current ≤ 25 A. They enable quick potential distribution for 2–10 modules, greatly reducing on‑site wiring time, and are widely used in control cabinets, equipment power distribution, and automation systems.
