Additionally, the grey housing provides a clean, standardized appearance for organized control cabinet layouts, while the durable materials guarantee long-term operational reliability and electrical safety.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and automation systems
• Electrical power distribution boards
• Professional electrical wiring and cabling infrastructure
• Control cabinets requiring secure pass-through connections

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block may not be suitable for applications requiring direct connection of fine-stranded conductors without ferrules outside the specified cross-section range. It is also not designed for environments exceeding its rated electrical parameters or specific specialized housing standards not compatible with standard DIN rails.

Key specifications

• Voltage rating: 1000 V
• Current rating: 76 A
• Connection method: Push-in connection
• Number of connections: 2
• Wire cross section: 0.5 mm² to 25 mm²
• AWG range: 20 to 4
• Width: 12.2 mm
• Color: Gray
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails

How to use

To install the terminal block, securely snap it onto a compatible mounting rail such as NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 within the control panel. Prepare the electrical wire by stripping it to the recommended length and attaching a ferrule if using stranded wire. Insert the conductor directly into the push-in connection point until it is firmly seated, ensuring a reliable and conductive contact. To release the wire, use a suitable tool to actuate the release mechanism as specified by the manufacturer guidelines.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the voltage and current ratings match the electrical load requirements of your system
• Check available space on the DIN rail to ensure the 12.2 mm width fits your layout
• Confirm that your conductor cross-sections fall within the 0.5 mm² to 25 mm² range
• Ensure compatibility with standard NS 35 mounting rails

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect power from the electrical circuit before installing, modifying, or removing terminal blocks. Ensure that all connected wires match the specified cross-section and current limits to maintain system safety and performance.
