March 9, 2021

The PTFIX distribution blocks with Push-in connection are individually configured by you and just need to be unpacked and connected on site. The first distribution blocks with integrated function are now available.

They can be used to separate signals quickly and easily as well as implement fuses and components. Three different versions are available: TG for various isolating plugs, fuse plugs, and component connectors, MT featuring integrated knife disconnection, and MTL featuring integrated lever knife disconnection.

The function distribution blocks have test points for all common test probes. The ready-to-mount distribution blocks save you a lot of time. The compact and minimalist size also saves a considerable amount of space. Various mounting adapters for DIN rail and direct mounting provide you with flexible mounting options. All PTFIX blocks can be aligned without any loss of pitch. For custom creation, Phoenix Contact offers the web-based PTFIX configurator. You will be guided to enter desired properties. The order is placed via the integrative connection to the Phoenix Contact e-shop.
