PTFIX
The Phoenix Contact PTFIX Series comprises ready-to-use distribution blocks featuring Push-in connection technology, designed to streamline potential distribution in control cabinets and various industrial applications. These blocks facilitate quick, tool-free wiring, enhancing installation efficiency and flexibility.
Key Features:
Ready-to-Connect Design: PTFIX blocks are pre-assembled and maintenance-free, allowing for immediate deployment without the need for manual bridging.
Push-in Connection Technology: This tool-free, direct plug-in method enables the easy insertion of solid and flexible conductors with ferrules, starting from 0.25 mm², reducing installation time.
Compact and Space-Saving: The compact design of PTFIX blocks saves space in control cabinets, making them ideal for applications with limited installation areas.
Versatile Mounting Options: Various adapters allow for DIN rail, direct, and adhesive mounting, providing flexibility to suit different installation requirements.
Color-Coded Variants: Available in up to 11 different colors, PTFIX blocks support intuitive and safe installation by enabling clear potential assignment.
