BUS connectors

Phoenix Contact SUBCON-PLUS Profibus D-Sub Connectors 12 Mbps

This range of SUBCON-PLUs Profibus connectors are up to 12 Mbps in speed and work hand-in-hand with Phoenix Contacts PROFIBUS network. Connectivity is simple with the D-sub connector with spring cage terminal points for the input and a D-sub connection on the output. D-Sub connectors form a tight and secure bond with its mating adapter thanks to the screw connections.

These specific D-Sub connectors are suitable for all common fast connect PROFIBUS cables and RS-485 bus lines and you can switch to the D-sub orientation through a reversible connection blocks.

Features and benefits:

• Can be used on all PROFIBUS systems up to 12 Mbps


• When the optional terminating resistor is switched in, the output circuit is disconnected to aid fault finding by segmenting the network


• Additional connection for a programming or service device


• Spring terminal or screw terminal connector technology (...SC...)


• Integral strain relief


• Cable entry optionally left or right (exc. PROFIB/PG and PROFIB/PG/SC2)


• Programming connection optional (...PG...)


• Cable entry axial (...AX...)


• ATEX Ex rating – Installation in potentially explosive areas is approved.

What is a d-sub connector?

D-sub connectors or D-subminiature connectors as they're commonly called are D-shaped connections that can contain a variety of pins and come in a variety of sizes. D-Sub connectors are typically used in connecting wires to PCBs to transfer a multitude of signal types and thanks to their screw method of connection they'll provide a robust and long-lasting strong connection.
