Phoenix Contact 1047460 Distribution Block PTFIX 4/18X1,5-NS35, 20 Pieces

The Phoenix Contact 1047460 PTFIX 4/18X1,5-NS35 is a professional-grade distribution block engineered for streamlined electrical wiring and power distribution in industrial environments. This compact, black-colored module is specifically designed for secure DIN rail mounting, making it an ideal component for control cabinets and automation systems where space optimization is critical. Each unit supports efficient potential distribution, ensuring that electrical connections remain organized, reliable, and easy to maintain throughout the lifecycle of the installation.

Advantages

This distribution block offers significant benefits for complex wiring tasks by providing a high density of connections within a minimal footprint. The integration of push-in connection technology allows for rapid, tool-free wire insertion, which drastically reduces installation time compared to traditional screw terminals. Furthermore, the inclusion of test openings at every terminal point facilitates quick and safe diagnostic checks, while the clear marking system ensures that all connections are easily identifiable, reducing the risk of errors during maintenance or troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Automation and control systems
• Power distribution in electrical panels
• Modular machine building

This distribution block may not be suitable for high-power applications exceeding the 17.5 A nominal current rating or for environments requiring connections with wire cross-sections larger than 2.5 mm². It is also not intended for direct exposure to harsh outdoor elements without appropriate protective enclosure housing.

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 500 V
• Nominal current: 17.5 A
• Connection method: Push-in
• Number of connections: 19
• Cross section range: 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• AWG range: 26 to 14
• Mounting type: DIN rail NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15
• Width: 21.6 mm
• Color: Black

To use the distribution block, snap the unit onto a standard NS 35 DIN rail. Insert stripped conductors directly into the push-in terminals until they are firmly seated. No special tools are required for the connection. For testing, insert a standard test probe into the designated test opening located at each terminal point. Ensure that the total current draw across all connections does not exceed the specified nominal current limits to maintain operational safety.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the total current requirements of your circuit do not exceed 17.5 A.
• Ensure your wire gauge falls within the 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Confirm that your cabinet layout supports DIN rail mounting.
• Check if the 19-connection capacity meets your specific distribution needs.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that wires are stripped to the correct length before insertion to guarantee a secure and reliable contact. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure long-term stability.
