Plating Color Issue on Phoenix Contact DIN RAIL

Sometimes, customers come to us with concerns over the plating color of Phoenix Contact DIN rail 0801681. The datasheet specifies a silver finish, but the product a customer receives appears yellowish. If this applies in your situation, here is some clarification from the manufacturer.

The yellow color is a result of the passivation treatment Phoenix uses, which helps prevent corrosion and increases the product’s lifespan.

This characteristic of yellow zinc plating is completely normal and does not compromise the performance or quality of the DIN rail. Rest assured, the product meets all necessary standards for durability and functionality.
