Four conductors in the smallest of spaces

T

conductor terminal blocks

with Push-in connection from

Phoenix Contact are now even

smaller and require even less

space in the control cabinet.

Thanks to their compact design,

Up to four conductors that are up

to 2.5 mm² can be connected in one

feed-through terminal block. Tool-

free wiring of the pre-assembled

conductors is quick and easy. In

addition, ground terminals of the

same shape are also available.

These multi-conductor terminal

blocks are also characterized by

the double function shaft for easy

potential distribution with plug-

in bridges and the large-surface

marking options. Each current

path can be individually tested

for the terminal blocks. Thanks to

the consistent use of accessories

Phoenix Contact

from the Clipline complete

terminal block system, there are no

additional logistics costs.

T

he new FLT-SEC-PLUS 264 type 1 lightning current arresters

from Phoenix Contact are used in main supplies with 230/400 V

networks. Even in the event of high lightning currents up to 50 kA per

The advantage of this is that the

load of the entire installation is

reduced to a minimum in the event

of lightning.
