Phoenix Contact Terminal Blocks
Proax, an authorized Phoenix Contact distributor, offers the Push-X Connection terminal block systems. This effortless, tool-free method lets you wire both rigid and flexible conductors directly. Just insert the conductor fully, and it automatically clamps in place. Release it quickly with the orange push button, readying it instantly for the next connection.
Connection technologies for CLIPLINE
- XT terminal blocks with Push-X technology allow quick and easy connections for both rigid and flexible conductors, with or without ferrules. These blocks are initially available with a cross-section of 2.5 mm².
- Push-X technology offers a tool-free solution for easily connecting both rigid and flexible conductors, with or without ferrules.
- Push-in technology enables easy, tool-free connections for conductors from 0.25 mm² to 185 mm². It features a special contact spring that reduces insertion force by up to 50%.
- PTV terminal blocks combine lateral Push-in connection technology with the straightforward routing of screw connections for quick, tool-free, and bend-free wiring.
