10-GbE TERMINATION BLOCK
The 20-pair CopperTen termination block for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications is designed to accommodate five incoming and five outgoing 4-pair Augmented Category 6 cables, maintaining distance between each 4-pair cable to meet Cat 6a alien crosstalk requirements. Each IDC slot is color-coded to help ensure accurate termination. The termination block has a disconnect feature for patch-by-exception installations, and can also be patched to a traditional cross-connect. Rear cable management helps cables to be held securely in place with no need for ties. In addition, the company’s 6-port surface-mount box and 4-port staggered single-gang faceplate are designed to counter the effects of excessive insertion loss and alien crosstalk. The box and faceplate serve as workstation mounting platforms for voice, video, and data modular connectors, and fit standard furniture raceway openings and standard single-gang boxes respectively.

MODULAR DIN-RAIL FAMILY
 |
A complete family of DIN-rail mount IEC-standard terminal blocks come in a wide variety of sizes, wire termination methods, current ratings and colors. Accepting a complete range of wire sizes, from 24 AWG to 4/0, the ATB (Amphenol Terminal Block) Series carries signal levels to 300A, 600V. Screw-clamp, spring-clamp and bolt termination methods are offered. The new family includes single-wire, multi-wire, fuse, disconnect switch, ground and thermocouple models. Specific versions are compliant with AExe II and Ex e II Class 1 Zone 1 hazardous location applications. The ATB DIN-rail terminal block family is designed to provide a complete modular system for internal enclosure wiring. Typical applications include factory automation, process control, motion control, data acquisition, electrical utility, standby and uninterruptible power, telecommunications, HVAC, and engine control. All models can be mixed and matched on a DIN-standard metal rail, and configured to the exact application.

HIGH-DENSITY IEC BLOCKS
Three new high-density IEC terminal block products feature release screw clamp, spring clamp, and insulation displacement connection design. The CBD screw clamp family features 94-VO molded housings, nickel-plated copper alloy metal bodies, captive screws, and clamps that accepts a wire range of 28 AWG to 4/0 cables. The HMM spring clamp terminal blocks are available in styles that will accept 2-, 3-, or 4-wire conductors in a single terminal block. The spring clamp family is also available in disconnect, double level and fuse styles. The company claims that its NCS family of insulation displacement connection (IDC) terminal blocks features the smallest overall size of this type block on the market. The NCS does not require a special tool for wire termination, can handle a wire range of 20 to 16 AWG, and is also available in a screw clamp-to-IDC version.

SPRING-TYPE TERMINAL BLOCK
The ASP129 series of pluggable spring-type terminal blocks feature proprietary Springcon technology. This terminal block lets you replace dated screw-type terminations. Complete tool-less operation is achieved via finger-friendly levers, which come standard in black and red. With a pin-spacing of 10 mm, and able to accommodate popular 12 AWG monster cable, the ASP129 is rated at 12 amps at 300 volts. Available in 2 to 12-pole configurations, the ASP129 is UL approved and meets VDE requirements.

75-AMP WIRE-TO-BOARD POWER BLOCK
 |
High Current, wire-to-printed board terminal blocks are rated at 75-amps and will accept two power cables up to AWG 4, as well as a smaller sensor or audio cable. The three-position blocks, soldered to the boards on 15-mm centers, feature reusable moving cage clamp wire terminations and one-piece contacts for interconnect reliability. Two 75-amp power contact positions are augmented by a smaller wire window, providing sensor wire termination. These ELMP high current blocks provide transition to a PC board, within a power cabinet or externally, and are designed to facilitate wire-to-control system interface for power or long run signal cabling in industrial control, telecommunication, and related applications. Typical areas of use include power supplies and conditioning, motor drives, UPS, utility monitoring, and telecommunications infrastructure. Blocks can be reconfigured or customized for specific applications. Variations include marking, color, and contact size.
