Phoenix Contact: Pluggable terminal blocks with Push-in connection and diagonal design

August 27, 2019

Multi-level terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact allow you to increase wiring density, even when space is limited.

The new, multilevel terminal blocks with a diagonal design are just 3.5 mm wide and save space for wiring. Another advantage of the diagonal design is the user-friendly cable entry.

The PTS 1.5 terminal block has a tool-free, fast Push-in connection. The central marking surface on each level provides a space for clear marking. The double bridge shaft enables simple potential distribution. The terminal blocks are available up to a cross section of 1.5 mm². All multi-level terminal blocks have an integrated coding system and the standard combination plug zone.
