Phoenix Contact RIF-1-BPT/2X21 Relay Base with Push-in Connection, 1-Pole, DIN Rail Mount, Black

For control cabinet builders who demand fast wiring without sacrificing reliability, the Phoenix Contact RIF-1-BPT/2X21 relay base eliminates the need for screw terminals entirely. Its push-in connection technology accepts solid or flexible conductors from 0.14 to 2.5 mm², cutting installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional screw bases. This single-position base is engineered exclusively for Phoenix Contact RIF-1 series relays, forming a compact and secure foundation for switching loads up to 16 A at 250 V AC/DC.

Highlights

• Push-in connection: tool-free wiring for solid and flexible conductors, with 8 mm stripping length
• Robust current handling: supports up to 16 A contact current and 250 V AC/DC contact voltage
• Universal DIN rail mounting: snaps onto NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15 rails without additional hardware
• Wide temperature range: operates reliably from -40 °C to +85 °C for demanding environments
• Safety certified: IP20 protection, V0 flammability rating, and 6 kV rated surge voltage

In daily use

Installers will appreciate how quickly the RIF-1-BPT/2X21 integrates into existing panels. The push-in terminals grip wires firmly, resisting vibration and thermal cycling, while the compact polyamide housing keeps panel depth minimal. When paired with a compatible RIF-1 relay, the base provides a complete switching solution for industrial controls, building automation, and machinery. The black housing blends seamlessly into modern control cabinets, and the clear marking area allows for easy circuit identification.
