Phoenix Contact: Monitoring Case System (MCS) – Flexible Electronics Housings for Sensor and IoT/IIoT Applications
April 8, 2025
The new Monitoring Case System (MCS) from Phoenix Contact is a flexible housing series designed for sensor, IoT, and IIoT applications. The wall-, pole-, and DIN rail-mountable enclosure allows fast and easy PCB installation, mounting, and maintenance.
IP65 and IP67 variants protect electronics in harsh environments, while a more affordable IP40-rated option is available for less demanding applications. An IK07 rating ensures the housings can withstand a 2-joule impact from 20 centimeters high.
With its angled, clamshell housing edge design, the MCS can accommodate PCBs in either or both half-shells to increase board capacity and facilitate multiple connection directions. Optional hinges make device installation and maintenance more convenient. Once the hinges are installed, the housing fans open. The cover remains connected, while the technician’s hands stay free. This reduces the chance of dropping expensive electronics during maintenance.
Designers can maximize brand impact with a variety of covers, sizes, and colors. The combination of standard components, optional accessories, and a comprehensive portfolio of connection technology creates a wide range of application solutions. Custom printing, marking, and mechanical processing options are also available.
