Phoenix Contact 1047463 Distribution Block PTFIX 4/18X1,5-NS35 Orange

The Phoenix Contact 1047463 PTFIX 4/18X1,5-NS35 is a professional-grade distribution block designed for efficient and organized power distribution in industrial environments. This compact component is engineered to streamline electrical wiring within control cabinets and automation systems, providing a reliable connection point for multiple conductors. Its orange housing ensures high visibility, while the robust construction supports demanding electrical applications.

Advantages

This distribution block offers significant space-saving benefits due to its compact micro-design, making it ideal for installations where panel space is limited. The integrated push-in connection technology allows for rapid, tool-free wiring, which reduces installation time and labor costs. Furthermore, the block features test openings at every terminal point, facilitating convenient and safe electrical testing without the need to disconnect wires. The ability to mount the unit on standard DIN rails or directly onto surfaces provides exceptional flexibility for various cabinet configurations.

Suitable for

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

This distribution block may not be suitable for high-power applications exceeding its nominal current rating of 17.5 A or for environments requiring specialized hazardous area protection that the standard housing does not provide. It is also not intended for use with conductors outside the specified cross-section range of 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm².

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 - 2.5 mm² (AWG 26 - 14)
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rail
• Width: 21.6 mm
• Color: Orange

To use the distribution block, snap the unit onto a standard NS 35 DIN rail or secure it directly to the mounting surface. Insert stripped conductors directly into the push-in terminal points until they are firmly seated. The internal spring mechanism ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection. To remove a wire, use a suitable tool to actuate the release mechanism at the terminal point. Ensure that all connections are properly labeled using the designated marking areas to maintain system clarity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the total current load of your circuit does not exceed 17.5 A.
• Ensure your conductor sizes fall within the 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Confirm that your mounting space accommodates the 21.6 mm width of the block.
• Check that your system voltage does not exceed the 500 V rating.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before performing any wiring or maintenance tasks. Use appropriate wire stripping tools to avoid damaging the conductor strands, and verify that each wire is fully inserted into the terminal to ensure optimal electrical contact.
