Phoenix Contact Quint CAP buffer module

Click2Contact

The maintenance-free Quint CAP buffer module from Phoenix Contact bridges cyclical failures lasting up to 30 s. It combines an electronic switch-over unit and maintenance-free, capacitor-based energy storage in the same housing. The lockable USB interface for connection to higher-level controllers makes it convenient to shut down the supported system. The buffer module with double-layer capacitors offers a long buffer time due to high memory capacity. Around 5–10 A can be buffered for 30 s.

Due to their compact design, the modules save space in the control cabinet. Furthermore, with an expected lifetime of over 20 years at 20°C and more than 500,000 charge/discharge cycles, they have a long service life. The soft start means that the buffer modules can also be used in combination with power supplies in the low power range. With comprehensive signalling options and a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +60°C, they support flexible use.
