Connector / Branching Terminal ELEKTROPLAST WLZ 5×35 mm² (MPN 48.436)

ELEKTROPLAST WLZ 5×35 mm² is a multi-core branching terminal designed for fixed electrical installations. It accepts up to five copper conductors with a cross-sectional area of 35 mm² each and is intended for safe conductor termination and power distribution in residential, commercial, and light industrial panels and junctions. The connector is manufactured to provide reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability when installed according to local wiring regulations.

Advantages

The WLZ 5×35 mm² terminal offers compact branching for up to five conductors while maintaining clear separation between connection points to reduce the risk of short circuits. Its design ensures secure clamping of copper conductors and facilitates organized wiring runs in enclosures or junction boxes. The connector supports long-term fixed installations and is suitable for use where a robust and space-efficient distribution solution is required.

Suitable for

• Distributing mains or sub-circuit power to multiple outgoing copper conductors
• Termination and branching inside distribution boards and junction boxes
• Residential wiring, small commercial installations and light industrial control panels
• Permanent fixed installations where conductor cross-section is 35 mm²

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is intended specifically for copper conductors of the stated cross-section; it is not suitable for flexible conductors or aluminium conductors unless local regulations and additional treatment allow such use. It is not a plug-in device and is designed for fixed installations, so it may not be appropriate where frequent reconnection or portable connections are required.

Key specifications

• Number of connection positions: up to 5 conductors
• Supported conductor cross-section: 35 mm² (copper)
• Application: fixed electrical installations and branching in distribution panels
• Mounting: suitable for installation inside enclosures and junction boxes
• Construction: multi-core branching terminal with separate clamping points

How to use

Prepare copper conductors by stripping insulation to the recommended length and inspect conductors for corrosion or damage. Insert each conductor fully into its respective clamping point and tighten the terminal screws to the torque value specified in local wiring standards or the connector documentation. Ensure all connections are secure and that no bare conductor is exposed outside the terminal body. After installation, verify continuity and insulation resistance as part of the commissioning procedure.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm conductor material and that copper conductors of 35 mm² are used
• Verify compatibility with the enclosure or panel space and mounting method
• Ensure the terminal meets applicable local electrical regulations for the intended installation
• Check required tightening torque and assess accessibility for installation and maintenance

Usage recommendations

Use in fixed installations only; follow local wiring codes for conductor preparation, tightening torque and inspection. For mixed-material or flexible conductor applications consult applicable standards or use an appropriate connector rated for those conductor types.
