Phoenix Contact Breakers

Phoenix Contact breakers form a high-specification platform of device circuit breakers and modular protection devices engineered for control cabinets, automation systems and industrial installations. These DIN-rail mounted devices cover thermal, thermal-magnetic and electronic technologies — protecting equipment and wiring reliably under standards such as IEC 60947-2, UL 489 and UL 1077.

Phoenix Contact Miniature Circuit Breakers – Compact DIN-Rail Protection

The Phoenix Contact miniature circuit breaker families (TMC 7 and TMC 8) provide thermal-magnetic protection modules in 1-, 2- or 3-pole formats, with nominal currents from 1 to 63 A and breaking capacities from 7.5 kA to 10 kA depending on model. 
Key characteristics:

• Rated voltages: up to 120/240/277/480 V AC and up to 60/125 V DC.
• Conductor cross-section: accommodating up to ~35 mm² in screw-connection types.
• Mounting type: NS 35/… DIN-rail.
  These breakers are ideal for branch circuit protection, machine panels and retrofit installations in control systems. For distributors, they represent a broad-fill category covering many installation types, making them a core stocking line.

Phoenix Contact Electronic & DC Circuit Breakers – Advanced Protection

Beyond traditional breakers, Phoenix Contact also offers electronic circuit breakers designed for high-precision protection in long-cable, remote I/O or battery/solar applications. These modules support overload, short-circuit and cable-attenuation detection, and are adjustable for current limitation and diagnostics.
Typical features:

• Multi-channel modules (e.g., CBM series) supporting multiple outputs in a compact width.
• Adjustable nominal currents (e.g., 0.5 A – 10 A per channel) and active current limitation. 
• Communication or signalling outputs for status monitoring.
  This segment is particularly relevant for OEMs, automation builders and modern infrastructure projects. For wholesalers, it enables upselling into higher-value protection systems rather than just basic breakers.

Phoenix Contact Surge & Modular DIN-Rail Protection Devices

Modern control cabinets require more than over-current protection — they need surge protection, mini-modules and modular DIN-rail devices integrated with breaker systems. Phoenix Contact integrates these within their protection ecosystem.
By combining breakers with surge modules and modular protective devices, distributors can propose fully-bundled protection solutions for equipment, machine feeds and service circuits.

Portfolio Structure & Application Fit

To assist cataloguing and stock structuring, the Phoenix Contact breakers range can be segmented into:

• Miniature Circuit Breakers (TMC 7/8) – 1-63 A, standard AC & DC branch protection.
• Electronic / DC Circuit Breakers – multi-channel, adjustable, diagnostics-capable for advanced applications.
• Modular Protection & Surge Devices – complimenting breakers with DIN-rail mount protection for full system reliability.
  This segmentation allows wholesalers to map inventory and applications: routine wiring → advanced protection → full system-level solutions.

Wholesale Supply Advantages

When sourcing Phoenix Contact breakers via a distributor like Bank of Lamps, you gain:

• Verified stock of breaker families (TMC series) and accessory modules from EU warehouse with traceable batch codes.
• Competitive wholesale pricing for volume orders and project procurement.
• Delivery across Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Baltic states — supporting continental distribution.
• Full technical documentation: datasheets, settings tables, breaking capacities, wiring diagrams.
• Ability to cross-sell protection systems (breaker + surge device + terminal accessories) increasing cart-value per project.
