Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of push-in terminal blocks. With the addition of 1.5 mm sq. and 4 mm sq. variants, the line now allows fast and easy termination of ferruled or stranded wire from 24 to 10 AWG. Compared with other spring-technology products, Phoenix claims its push-in terminal line reduces insertion forces by 50 percent. The product's leg-spring design is optimized for increased termination speed and reduced operator fatigue. The modular push-in terminal blocks have 250 newtons of pullout force (five times the IEC requirement), making them ideal for high-vibration applications.
The terminal block system can also be used with stranded wire using an orange actuation button, notes Phoenix. The button’s shorter operating stroke connects 35 percent faster than spring technology and does not require special tools, says the company. The termination area and the touch-proof orange activation button are clearly identified. Like the original 2.5 mm sq. version, the two new sizes are available in single, twin, Quattro, and double-level feed through as well as function blocks.
