Phoenix Contact 1047457 PTFIX Distribution Block, 4/18x1.5-NS35, Brown, 20 Pieces

The Phoenix Contact 1047457 PTFIX distribution block is a professional-grade electrical component engineered for efficient and reliable power distribution in complex wiring systems. This set includes 20 brown-colored blocks, each featuring a 4/18x1.5-NS35 configuration designed to streamline electrical installations. By utilizing advanced push-in connection technology, these blocks provide a secure and vibration-resistant contact, ensuring long-term operational stability in demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of these distribution blocks is their highly compact design, which significantly reduces the space required within control cabinets and automation panels. The integration of push-in technology allows for rapid, tool-free conductor insertion, which drastically decreases assembly time compared to traditional screw-type terminals. Furthermore, the inclusion of test openings at every terminal point simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting, while the clear marking system ensures that all connections remain organized and easily identifiable during system inspections.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinets
• Automation and robotics systems
• Power distribution in electrical panels
• Building management systems
• Modular machine wiring

These distribution blocks may not be suitable for high-power applications exceeding the 17.5 A current rating or for environments where wire cross-sections exceed the 2.5 mm² limit. They are also not intended for direct outdoor exposure without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 500 V
• Nominal current: 17.5 A
• Connection method: Push-in connection
• Number of connections: 19
• Cross section range: 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• AWG range: 26 to 14
• Mounting type: NS 35/7.5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails
• Width: 21.6 mm
• Color: Brown
• Quantity per pack: 20 pieces

To use the Phoenix Contact PTFIX distribution block, simply mount the unit onto a standard NS 35 DIN rail. Insert the stripped conductor directly into the push-in terminal point until it is fully seated. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically secures the wire, providing a gas-tight connection. To release the wire, use a standard screwdriver to actuate the release mechanism. Ensure that the total current load does not exceed the specified nominal current of 17.5 A to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wire cross-section falls within the 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Ensure your DIN rail system is compatible with NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15 standards.
• Confirm that the total current requirements of your circuit do not exceed 17.5 A.
• Check if the brown color coding aligns with your specific project wiring standards.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that conductors are stripped to the correct length before insertion to maintain optimal contact integrity. Regularly inspect the terminal points during scheduled maintenance to ensure connections remain secure and free from debris.
