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.
Terminal Connection Types
- Screw Connection: Offers maximum contact force, maintenance-free, supports multi-conductor connections, and connects copper conductors up to 240 mm² without pretreatment.
- Spring-Cage Connection: Ideal for vibration-sensitive applications, consistent spring force, easily opened with a screwdriver, supports up to 35 mm².
- Fast Connection: Features a patented insulation displacement contact, operated by a swiveling lever for quick, one-step wiring, saves up to 60% time, supports up to 4 mm², ideal for control cabinets.
- Bolt Connection: Suitable for ring and fork-type cable lugs, high contact force, strong pull-out resistance, supports multi-conductor connections at one point, includes captive cap nuts on hinged covers.
Terminal Blocks FAQs
Terminal blocks are used to securely connect wires within electrical systems. They provide a convenient way to organize wire connections, making it easy to install, inspect, modify, and troubleshoot electrical circuits.
In a PLC system, terminal blocks facilitate the connection of sensor inputs and actuator outputs to the PLC. This way signals are accurately transmitted to and from the control system. Terminal blocks help maintain the integrity and clarity of connections, simplifying maintenance and modifications in PLC-based systems.
