Terminal Blocks

Terminal Blocks - Four Connection Systems, One Solution


Terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are available with a variety of connection technologies, including screw clamp, spring-cage, auto-spring and insulation displacement connectors. This wide range of options provides the right connection technology for any application. All connection systems work together via the patented dual bridge system, which accepts the same push-in jumpers and accessories.Save time, space and money utilizing this flexible terminal block system versus buying and storing accessories for four technologies.



Major components in the standardized accessory system include:

  • Flexible bridge system - chain, step-down and skip bridging via two bridge shafts in the middle of the terminal block
  • Modular testing system - modular test plugs or snap-on single plugs fit each position
  • Standardized labeling system - terminals are marked with snap-on labels (cost-effective, heat-transfer labeling systems are also available)

Professional planning software for terminal block systems makes project planning easy. Plan fully equipped DIN rails with terminal blocks, surge protection modules, power supplies, relays and bus modules using CLIP PROJECT.
