Phoenix Contact: Easy System Modernization With Terminal Blocks With Lateral Push-in Connection

PB-46-Phoenix-PTVTerminalBlocks-400.jpg

June 8, 2021

The PTV terminal blocks with lateral conductor connection from Phoenix Contact enable clear wiring without bending radii.

You can also affix and read off the connection and conductor marking more easily as a result. The terminal block family has now been extended to include cross-sections of 6 mm². You can now connect conductor cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 10 mm². PE versions and multi-conductor terminal blocks are also available.

Due to the conductor feed being rotated through 90°, the PTV terminal blocks are ideal for switching over to Push-in connection technology. You can continue using existing control cabinet layouts for screw-terminal wiring for the modernization. Subsequent testing of the terminal point is not necessary, because the Push-in connection is maintenance-free. The terminal blocks feature a double function shaft and test options with the test points. The uniform standard accessories of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system can also be used here.
