• General wiring installations requiring reliable termination

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not intended for use with conductors outside the specified 1.5–16 mm² range. It should also not be used in environments where the operating temperature or environmental conditions exceed the manufacturer's specified ratings for standard terminal blocks.

Key specifications

• Conductor compatibility: Aluminum and Copper
• Cross-section range: 1.5 mm² to 16 mm²
• Housing color: Blue
• Connection type: Universal terminal

How to use

To use the NORDEL NLT116, ensure the power supply is disconnected before starting any work. Strip the insulation from the conductor to the appropriate length, ensuring the wire is clean and free of damage. Insert the conductor into the terminal opening and tighten the screw or clamping mechanism securely to ensure a firm connection. Verify that the wire is held firmly and cannot be pulled out by hand before restoring power to the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cross-section of your conductors matches the 1.5–16 mm² range.
• Confirm that the terminal block is suitable for the specific voltage and current requirements of your project.
• Ensure you have the correct tools for tightening the terminal connection.

Usage recommendations

Always follow local electrical codes and safety regulations when installing terminal blocks. Periodically inspect connections in high-load environments to ensure they remain tight and free from oxidation.
