PHOENIX PT 16 N BU Feed-Through Terminal Block Blue 3212142

The PHOENIX PT 16 N BU Feed-Through Terminal Block Blue 3212142 is a professional electrical component designed for secure and efficient wire connections in industrial settings and control cabinets. Engineered to support reliable circuit management, this blue feed-through terminal block ensures high durability and performance for demanding professional installations.

Advantages

This terminal block utilizes an advanced Push-in connection method that facilitates rapid and tool-free conductor insertion for rigid wires or flexible wires with ferrules, significantly reducing installation time. Its robust design supports high electrical ratings of up to 1000 V and 76 A, accommodating a wide conductor cross-section range from 0.5 mm² to 25 mm² or AWG 20 to 4. The compact width of 12.2 mm optimizes space within control cabinets while maintaining exceptional mechanical and electrical stability when mounted on standard DIN rails.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet manufacturing and wiring
• Power distribution systems requiring high current capacity
• Professional electrical installation projects
• Connecting copper conductors ranging from 0.5 mm² to 25 mm²

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not designed for direct outdoor installation without a proper protective enclosure, as it lacks environmental sealing against moisture and dust. Additionally, it is unsuitable for conductors exceeding the maximum cross-section limit of 25 mm² or applications requiring connection technologies other than Push-in wiring without appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

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

How to use

Mount the terminal block securely onto a compatible NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 DIN rail inside a control cabinet. Prepare the electrical wire by stripping it to the recommended length. For solid conductors or flexible wires equipped with ferrules, simply push the wire directly into the clamping point until it is fully inserted. To release the conductor or connect fine-stranded wires without ferrules, actuate the spring release mechanism using a standard tool, insert the wire, and release the mechanism to ensure a firm and permanent contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the voltage and current requirements of your circuit do not exceed 1000 V and 76 A.
• Ensure the conductor cross-sections fall within the 0.5 mm² to 25 mm² range.
• Check that standard NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 DIN rails are available in your enclosure for mounting.
• Confirm that the blue housing color aligns with your color-coding requirements for neutral or specific potential distribution.

Usage recommendations

Always adhere to local electrical codes, ensure power is disconnected before installation, and use proper wire preparation techniques to maintain system reliability.
