Terminal blocks with system

Tool-free conductor connection reinvented: Push-X allows direct wiring of rigid and flexible conductors with or without ferrule with the pre-tensioned contact spring. Insert the conductor up to the end of the clamping chamber without effort. As soon as the conductor pushes down the contact spring’s locking mechanism in the end position, the slider is released and the contact spring snaps automatically. The conductor is clamped directly during this process. Like with the well-known Push-in technology, the conductor is released via the orange push button. At the same time, the contact spring is preloaded for the next wiring process.

With Push-in connection technology, you can connect conductors from 0.25 mm² easily – both directly and without tools. The special terminal block contact spring allows up to 50% lower insertion force. Other features include the high contact quality and high conductor pull-out forces. Push-in technology is available for conductor cross-sections up to 185 mm².

The PTV terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact have a lateral Push-in connection.
The connection combines the lateral conductor routing of a screw connection with the tool-free direct connection technology of a Push-in connection. The terminal blocks therefore combine the advantages of both connection technologies. This ensures clear and fast wiring without bending radii.

The terminal blocks with spring-cage connection are particularly suitable for vibration-sensitive applications. The constant spring force means that the terminal blocks provide high contact reliability independent of the operator. The terminal points on the spring-cage terminal blocks can be opened easily with a screwdriver. The terminal blocks are available up to a cross-section of 35 mm².

The terminal blocks with fast-connection technology feature a patented insulation displacement contact that can be operated with the space-saving swiveling lever using a screwdriver.
The insulated, non-pretreated conductor is connected in just one step.
The resulting time savings can be up to 60%. Due to the available cross-sections of up to 4 mm², the terminal blocks are suitable for control current wiring in the control cabinet.

Terminal blocks with COMBI connection are designed for stringent and universal requirements.
The nominal current is routed to the terminal blocks via the contact pin. In conjunction with the contact system in the connector, the connection versions can withstand extreme vibration levels. The COMBI terminal block connection is suitable for your automated, semi-automated, or manual wiring tasks.

The terminal blocks with bolt connection are suitable for connecting ring and fork-type cable lugs. The connection allows for considerable conductor pull-out forces due to the high contact force and the large contact surfaces. Terminal blocks with bolt connections allow multi-conductor connection at just one terminal point. The captive cap nuts on the hinged covers are an additional advantage.

The test accessories of the CLIPLINE complete system contact the current bars in the function shaft of the terminal blocks. To test the current flow of an occupied function shaft, the terminal blocks of the CLIPLINE complete system have additional test points. Various test plugs and test adapters are available to ensure that your tests are performed universally in every application:

• Simple test plugs with a diameter of 2.3 mm
• Two-piece test plugs
• Alignable test plugs
• Special test adapters

All terminal blocks of the CLIPLINE complete system use the uniform marking accessories from Phoenix Contact. The following accessories are available for marking your wiring clearly and safely:

• Marking accessories for terminal point marking
• Marking accessories for terminal identification
• Marking accessories for terminal block group identification
• Marking accessories for terminal strip identification
• Warning labels

The LPO load-contact connectors enable the simple integration of additional load contacts via the function shaft of the terminal blocks. With this simple integration, the LPO connectors feature a great advantage, especially with regard to design changes in switchgear. Instead of having to retrofit the switchgear with new terminal strips, the LPO connectors make it easy to integrate additional load contacts. To ensure that the load contacts are also suitable as a permanent solution, the contact spring is designed so that the LPO connectors latches firmly into the multifunction shaft. This means that the connectors withstand high tensile forces and can only be released with increased force. The connectors are equipped with LP Lever Push-in technology for easy handling when installing conductors.

The safety accessories of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system include various accessories that make handling the terminal blocks even safer.
The accessories protect users and warn of live parts. This largely prevents accidental contact with live components. Safety accessories include the following product groups:

• Warning labels
• Filler plugs
• Covers and partition plates
• Covers
