For the PT terminal blocks with Push-in connection technology, you can choose the ideal terminal block for every task, with a nominal diameter from 1.5 mm² to 185 mm².
Convenient connection: insert rigid conductors or conductors with ferrules from 0.25 mm² into the conductor shaft. The contact spring opens automatically and provides the required pressure force against the current bar. When installing smaller conductors from 0.14 mm², use a standard screwdriver to actuate the contact spring.
These terminal blocks utilize the advantages of the CLIPLINE complete system. These include being able to freely combine all connection technologies and the use of standardized system accessories.
Flexible plug-in bridge system
The terminal blocks have two function shafts that enable fast and individual potential distribution. They are arranged in a line. This makes it possible to implement all the tasks of potential bridging within a 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Additional test contact
Stay flexible: even if the double function shaft is already in use with a bridge, you still have easy access to the test point. You can perform all of the necessary measurements in the additional test contact with a test plug.
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.
Warning labels
Warning labels are used to mark terminal blocks that remain live even after the main switch has been turned off. They can be snapped into place on all Push-in standard terminal blocks with a cross section from 2.5 mm² to 16 mm².
PTV – combination of Push-in connection and screw terminal block
The PTV terminal blocks combine the advantages of tool-free Push-in connection with the lateral conductor routing of a screw terminal block. The tool-free Push-in direct connection technology thus ensures time-saving conductor connection with low conductor insertion forces and high vibration resistance. The lateral conductor routing of the terminal blocks also enables clearly arranged wiring without bending radii. The resulting straight conductor routing from the terminal block to the cable duct makes it much easier to attach and read wire markings.
Vertical Push-in connection
With the Push-in connection, you can insert conductors from 0.25 mm² directly and without tools. To insert conductors from 0.14 mm², simply press the orange push button.
Lateral conductor routing of PTV terminal blocks
The lateral conductor routing enables you to implement clearly arranged wiring without bending radii. This wiring direction also makes it easier to attach and read wire markings.
Easy bridging with the double function shaft
Thanks to the double function shaft, the PTV terminal blocks can be bridged with standard plug-in bridges and reducing bridges from the CLIPLINE complete system.
Test points for reliable test results
The test points guarantee an easy and safe testing option. The flat contact on the current bar ensures reliable test results.
Feed-through and multi-conductor terminal blocks
Flexible bridgeability and optimum marking options make feed-through terminal blocks the universal connection technology solution. With multi-conductor terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact, you can connect up to four conductors with individual wiring at each terminal point.
Double-level terminal blocks
The double-level terminal blocks enable even higher signal density. Using vertical potential bridges, you can quickly and easily transform double-level terminal blocks into multi-conductor terminal blocks.
Fuse terminal blocks
The PTV fuse terminal blocks enable the space-saving and clear integration of fuses in your system. The lever enables the quick and convenient replacement of fuses.
Disconnect terminal blocks and knife disconnect terminal blocks including accessories
Where space is restricted, the disconnect terminal blocks and knife disconnect terminal blocks with lateral conductor connection enable the clear separation of signal currents.
Disconnect terminal block including various function plugs
The disconnect zones of the disconnect terminal blocks can be assembled individually with isolating plugs, fuse plugs, component connectors or a feed-through connector.

Push-in connection technology – highest quality for all requirements
- Vibration resistance in accordance with railway standard DIN EN 50155
- Shock and corrosion resistance in accordance with current shipbuilding registers
- Certified for process engineering in areas with increased safety (Ex e)
Vibration-resistant contacting
The Push-in connection technology is tested for maximum vibration and shock resistance. The test runs through a frequency range of 5 Hz to 150 Hz at an acceleration of up to 5.72 m/s². The test objects are tested on each of the three axes (x, y, z). No contact interruptions greater than 1 μs are permitted during the test. Push-in connection technology meets these high requirements in terms of vibration and also shock loads up to 350g.
Maximum conductor pull-out forces
Correctly wired conductor contact points must offer a high degree of mechanical safety. Requiring up to 50 percent lower conductor insertion force, Push-in connection technology achieves 180 N in the conductor pull-out test of a 2.5 mm² terminal block with a 1.0 mm² conductor, for example, where only 35 N is required in accordance with the standard.
Reliable contact
Particularly in shipbuilding, technical components have to function continuously in corrosive atmospheres. The salt content of the air combined with the increased humidity places high demands on the metal parts used. Push-in terminal blocks produce gas-tight connections. This means that the contact point is protected against corrosion even under extreme climatic conditions.
High-performance contacting
Conductor contact points must, in practice, also be capable of withstanding short-circuit currents, without sustaining any damage, until the relevant safety equipment cuts off the power. This can take up to several tenths of a second. Maximum contact reliability, even under extreme overload, illustrated with a plug-in Push-in terminal block.
Gas-tight contacting
The pivotal role of the metal parts of electrical connections becomes particularly apparent in aggressive environments. A test method describes a corrosion test in condensation climates with an atmosphere that contains sulfur dioxide. The Push-in connection technology creates high-grade, gas-tight connections that are not impaired even by aggressive substances.
Long-term contact stability
Using a two-chamber method, the Push-in terminal blocks are subjected to sudden temperature changes from -55°C to +100°C. PT terminal blocks are designed for extreme durability even under difficult temperature conditions. Plastic as well as metal parts provide sufficient safety reserves.
Premium plastic quality
