Using the new PIT range of terminal blocks in the ‘Clipline complete’ system from Phoenix Contact, flexible wires with cross sections as small as 0,35 mm² and fitted with end sleeves can now be connected directly and without the need for extra tools. As soon as the wire is inserted, the contact springs open automatically. With plugging forces up to 50% lower than before, it has never been easier to plug in wires and establish contacts. The high contacting forces exceed those stipulated by the relevant standards and ensure that the contacts between conductors are both reliable and high in quality.
To remove a conductor, simply press one of the new buttons with a suitable tool. This pressure is transmitted to the interior contact springs, which open the terminal to its maximum. The orange colour of the button marks it as an actuating element and thus reliably prevents mistakes from being made.
The new series includes a wide range of terminal types for wire cross sections of up to 2,5 mm². This includes feed-through terminals, multilevel terminals, and multiconductor terminals. This extensive product range is rounded out to include component terminals, base terminals and disconnect terminals. The PIT range of terminal blocks exploits the advantages offered by the ‘Clipline complete’ system. This includes interchangeable connecting technologies and standardised accessories such as plug-in bridges, marking systems, and testers.
