3) UL Use Groups UL standards Technical information on the PCB connection I would like information on the subject of POWER COMBICON Use Group 1) UL Product Standards UL 1059 "Terminal blocks" The recognition of printed circuit terminal blocks and PCB plug connectors by UL is based primarily on the UL standard 1059 "Terminal blocks". Recognition in acc. with this standard allows terminal blocks and plug connectors to be used universally in almost all fields of application as external connection terminal blocks, so-called Field Wiring Terminal Blocks. In order for Phoenix Contact products to be able to be used in industrial applications without restrictions, they are generally tested and recognized in acc. with UL 1059. UL 1977 "Component connectors for use in data, signal, control and power applications" This standard specifies requirements designed solely for plug connectors for use in factory assembled A Operating elements, panels and similar. B Conventional devices, including office and electronic data processing equipment and similar.

In the end application, the components undergo final evaluation and are approved for operation together with the device: A = RC UL Recognition Mark Recognized Component Recognition of the terminal blocks and plug connectors is confirmed by a UL report. This contains various details on the product, such as connection data (ratings), air and creepage distances, materials, dimensions and conditions of acceptability for applications. Details for equipment certification not listed here can be found in the corresponding UL standards or, if necessary, clarified directly with the UL certification centers. Phoenix Contact Together with the article designations, the connection data are documented in the so-called Yellow Cards or in the UL Online Certification Directory as proof of certification. UL has set up an Internet site under www.ul.com/database making these data generally available and providing explanations. The site offers various different search options, such as "Company Name" or "UL File Number". Caution: UL current and voltage values are listed in the UL Online Certification Directory as maximum values only. These values are not subdivided into individual Use Groups! The corresponding COMBICON products are marked overleaf with *. Under point 4), application standard UL 840 is listed. The lower requirements with respect to air and creepage distances also allow certification of the terminal block with higher voltages. 4) UL Application Standards alternative air and creepage distance rating in accordance with UL 840 using the section 35.9.3 exception (in acc. with UL 508 C – 2nd Edition) can be used to achieve a reduction in the distance requirements for connection terminals. Certification in acc. with UL 840 requires the following conditions to be fulfilled: 1. The clamping technology fulfills the requirements of section 35.9.3 (in acc. with UL 508 C – 2nd Edition) 2. Proof of air distance: The surge voltage test in acc. with UL 840 is passed. 3. Proof of creepage distance: The minimum requirements for creepage distances in acc. with UL 840 (identical to IEC 664 (A) and VDE 0110, Table 4) are fulfilled. UL 508 "Industrial control equipment" Terminal blocks recognized according to UL 1059 can also be used directly as Field Wiring Terminal Blocks for devices in accordance with the UL 508 series of standards. UL 508 C "Power conversion equipment" UL 508 C applies in particular to motor controllers (frequency converters etc.). The section 35.9.3 exception allows the alternative rating of field wiring terminal blocks according to UL 840. Data series and certifications for all COMBICON articles are listed in COMBICON Select www.select.phoenixcontact.com and under www.phoenixcontact.com. UL 840 "Insulation coordination including clearances and creepage distances for electrical equipment" If there are space problems on the PCB, the Phoenix Contact © Phoenix Contact 2003 e-mail From this can be seen that in the Use Group C, there is a UL voltage of 600 V for the plug and a possible voltage of just 300 V for the matching header. Additional measures, such as coating the PCB with an insulating material (conformal coating) or slits in the PCB increase the air and creepage distances. It is thus possible to attain 600 V suitability at full current for the pin strip too. Printed in Germany The full range for power electronics UL 486 E "Equipment wiring terminals for use with aluminum and/or copper conductors" This standard defines the requirements for terminal points for use with aluminum and/or copper conductors.

If a plug connector is to be certified in acc. with UL 1977, the following conditions must be fulfilled: 1. It must be guaranteed that the plug connector is preassembled under factory conditions! 2. The plug connector must be constructed in such a manner as to rule out the possibility of the poles being confused as a result of incorrect installation. 3. The possibility of confusing the individual contacts during mounting must be ruled out. Fax The Use Group describes the later field of application of the finished device.
