The CLIPLINE complete terminal block system allows you to respond flexibly to your customers' requirements – for all applications, anywhere in the world. Choose from the following connection methods:
- Simple PT and PTV Push-in connection
- Universal UT screw connection
- Compact ST spring-cage connection
- Fast QT QUICKON connection
- COMBI plug-in connection solutions
- Robust RT bolt connection
Universal UT screw connection
Universal in every application. This screw connection technology is characterized by the multi-conductor connection and superior contact force, and is also maintenance-free due to the “Reakdyn principle”. Screw connection technology is recognized and accepted worldwide, which means that it can be used anywhere.
Simple PT Push-in connection
PT is the new generation of terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system. Extremely easy direct and tool-free wiring is now possible for conductors from 0.25 mm². The special contact spring allows easy insertion and ensures a high level of contact quality.
Lateral PT connection
The PTV connection is a lateral Push-in connection. This is why PTV is not regarded as a separate connection technology, but rather an extension of PT technology. Nevertheless, this connection is worth mentioning as it combines the advantages of Push-in connection with those of lateral conductor routing.
Compact ST spring-cage connection
The proven connection technology for applications that are sensitive to vibration. The spring-cage always exerts the same constant force on the conductor, regardless of the influence of the operator. Wiring is carried out easily via the space-saving front connection.
Fast QT QUICKON connection
Connect the conductor without stripping. IDC fast connection technology saves wiring time by up to 60%. The conductor is connected quickly, easily, and reliably with just one turn of a standard screwdriver.
Robust RT bolt connection
Robust connection for conductors with ring cable lugs. RT combines a bolt connection with the advantages of the CLIPLINE complete system, such as easy potential distribution via plug-in bridges, large marking surfaces, and uniform test accessories.
COMBI plug-in connection solutions
Plug-in connections for the most stringent universal demands. The nominal current of the connected conductor can be carried through the plug-in contact. Connectors and basic terminal blocks in four connection technologies can be freely combined due to the uniform plug-in zone.
CLIPLINE complete – uniform accessories for all terminal blocks
CLIPLINE complete provides you with a uniform range of accessories for all connection technologies:
- The marking and test accessories are standardized and reduce your storage and logistics costs.
- All terminal blocks can be freely combined due to the double function shaft.
- The uniform plug-in zone of the COMBI connection system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your application.
- The multifunctional, standardized disconnect zone of all disconnect terminal blocks can accommodate various connectors.
Flexible plug-in bridge system
To enable fast and individual potential distribution, the terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system have two function shafts. They are arranged in a line across all the terminal blocks, allowing the connection technologies to be combined. This makes it possible to implement all the tasks of potential bridging within a very short time.
Bridging between non-adjacent terminal blocks
Bridging between non-adjacent terminal blocks is established by removing individual contact tabs from the standard bridge. Two potentials can then be routed in parallel through a terminal strip. The contact points can also be marked.
Easy potential distribution
The reducing bridge enables terminal blocks with different nominal cross sections to be connected easily. The reducing bridge can be used to quickly create power blocks, e.g., a 10 mm² terminal block with a 2.5 mm² or 4 mm² terminal block. Independent of the connection technology.
Switchable bridging
The bridge bars enable individual cross connections. In test disconnect terminal blocks, the bridges ensure a short circuit of the current transformer. They can be positioned on either side of the disconnect point in the bridge shaft and securely latched in place. The short-circuit switching operation, which must be performed deliberately with a tool, is safely executed with screw terminal points.
Plug-in wire bridges
Terminal blocks in various widths with plug-in bridge shafts can be connected individually. The wire bridges provide maximum flexibility for all bridging tasks between non-adjacent terminal blocks.
Large-surface marking
All terminal blocks have tall and flat marker grooves. Tall marker grooves are primarily used for terminal marking. They accommodate larger, tall terminal markings. Flat marker grooves, which are often used for marking individual terminal points, are used to accommodate smaller, flat markings. All materials are available unprinted or marked according to your requirements.
Standardized test system
All test plugs in the system make contact in the freely accessible function shaft. A test plug with 2.3 mm diameter is available for individual measuring lines. More complex testing tasks can be implemented using alignable test plugs. Test adapters can be assembled individually and are ideal for use in test laboratories.
Multifunctional disconnect zone
All disconnect terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system have a standardized disconnect zone. The disconnect zone accommodates various connectors such as fuse plugs, component connectors, and isolating plugs.
Patented component connector
The P-CO component connector allows you to mount components quickly and securely using contact springs. Coding ensures connection without the risk of polarity reversal. For assembly, the spring-cage connections are opened or closed inside the connector by turning a standard screwdriver.
Compact fuse plug
The fuse plugs transform the disconnect terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system into full-fledged fuse terminal blocks for overload and short-circuit protection. When offset, the P-FU ...-5 compact fuse plug fits on the disconnect terminal blocks with 5.2 mm pitch. The fuse plug therefore offers maximum space savings.
Uniform plug-in zone
The COMBI connection system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your application. Its distinguishing feature is the standardized plug-in zone. This plug-in zone enables terminal blocks and plugs to be combined to suit the application, regardless of the connection technology.
Individual coding
The easy and individual coding option increases wiring reliability. Furthermore, the coding protects against mismatching. The individual coding elements are inserted at the coding position in the basic terminal block and the coding tap is removed at the corresponding point on the connector.
Latching and cable housings
Latches that snap onto the outside of the connector housing are available for fixing the connectors to the basic terminal blocks. Snap-on strain relief and closed cable housings are available if required to relieve the strain on the cables at the connectors. The two-piece housings can be mounted easily.
