Push-in PCB terminal blocks enable quick and convenient wiring. This reduces the installation time by up to 50%. Spring-cage technology makes the connections vibration-resistant and maintenance-free. Unlike screw connections, there is no need for retightening and torque control.
Future-ready, seamless connection flexibility
Push-in PCB terminal blocks in TWIN design
SPTH 1,5 series PCB terminal blocks with Push-in Technology impress with their larger test openings and connection capacity of up to 2.5 mm². The TWIN design and identical footprint allow device manufacturers to flexibly switch between screw and Push-in connection technology without having to adapt the PCB layout or device housing.

PCB all-rounder: Made for building technology and industrial applications
Whether in buildings, as in the example of a damper actuator shown here, or in classic industrial applications for controllers and frequency converters, the form factor of the MKDS product family is indispensable. Which is why it is now reinventing itself – faster, simpler, more innovative, but with the same distinct character. The result of this reinvention is the SPTH 1,5 series.
Your advantages
Compact dimensions Space savings of 20% compared to comparable Push-in terminal blocks
The new SPTH 1,5 series enables you to benefit from a particularly compact design that takes up around 20% less space than conventional terminal blocks with Push-in connection. This enables even more efficient use of your PCB and creates more space for additional components or functions. Despite its small size, operation is convenient and the connection quality is of the usual high standard.
TWIN design Uniform design and identical pinning for Push-in and screw connection
The innovative TWIN design ensures maximum flexibility and compatibility. Both connection methods – Push-in and screw connection – have a uniform design and identical pinning. You are thus able to quickly and easily switch between technologies without having to make any changes to the PCB layout or the device housing. This makes planning easier, speeds up production, and reduces purchasing and storage costs.
Large test opening Quick and convenient testing with the integrated touch connection for voltage testers
The SPTH 1,5 series PCB terminal block is equipped with a generous opening for efficient and safe testing in the field. This integrated testing option facilitates quick and convenient testing with all standard test probes up to Ø 2 mm. This saves you time during commissioning and troubleshooting and increases the reliability of your application.
Solder pins with insertion geometry Optimum positioning in the assembly process
The optimized geometry of the solder pins facilitates the assembly process. The special insertion shape means that the pins are inserted precisely and securely into the PCB, thereby reducing the mounting effort. The result is a reliable and durable electrical connection.
Push-in Technology Time-saving conductor connection and long-term stable connection
The Push-in Technology of the SPTH series ensures time-saving and tool-free wiring. Rigid and flexible conductors with ferrules can be connected easily and safely without using additional tools. This not only saves valuable installation time, but also results in a permanently reliable connection. You thus benefit from quick, easy, and efficient installation in any application. All conductor types are released intuitively using the color-coded actuating push button.
Questions and answers
Applications that benefit most are those where a compact design and fast wiring are crucial – for example, in control technology, sensor technology, embedded systems, and automation technology. SPTH PCB terminal blocks are typically used in building and factory automation, the process industry, and the renewable energy sector.
Phoenix Contact supports the design-in process with free CAD data, 3D models, an online configurator, and a sample service. This enables you to integrate Push-in PCB terminal blocks quickly and safely into your PCB.
The ten wiring cycles required by the standard are significantly exceeded in practical applications.
