PHOENIX PTI 6-PE Electrical Terminal Block 3213966 Push-In Ground Connection

The PHOENIX PTI 6-PE Electrical Terminal Block is designed for secure and reliable ground wire connections in electrical installation systems. This component features efficient push-in connection technology for quick and tool-free wiring, making it an essential element for professional control cabinets, distribution boards, and industrial electrical applications requiring high reliability and safe grounding.

Advantages

This terminal block features the exact same shape and pitch as standard feed-through terminal blocks, ensuring a uniform and space-saving layout in your enclosure. The protective ground contact is established free from mechanical and electrical errors simply by snapping the unit onto the DIN rail. Additionally, the design fully meets all the rigorous requirements and safety standards outlined in IEC 60947-7-2.

Suitable for

• Professional control cabinets and industrial automation systems
• Electrical distribution boards and sub-distribution units
• Ground wire connections requiring safe and reliable earthing
• Applications utilizing DIN rails for organized modular mounting

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not designed for direct connection to live phase or neutral conductors, as it is strictly engineered for protective earth and ground wire applications. It may also not be suitable for wire cross-sections outside the specified range of 0.5 mm² to 10 mm².

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² to 10 mm² (AWG: 20 - 8)
• Width: 8.2 mm
• Height: 48.5 mm
• Stripping length: 1.2 cm
• Weight: 13 g
• Color: Green-yellow
• Material: Polyamide
• Mounting type: NS 35/7.5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails

How to use

To use the terminal block, securely mount the unit onto a compatible NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15 DIN rail until it snaps firmly into place to establish the ground connection. Prepare your conductor by stripping the insulation to a length of 1.2 cm. Insert the prepared solid or flexible conductor with a ferrule directly into the push-in opening until it reaches the mechanical stop, ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your conductor cross-section falls within the 0.5 mm² to 10 mm² range
• Ensure your setup utilizes compatible NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15 DIN rails
• Confirm that the application requires a dedicated protective earth ground connection
• Check the 8.2 mm width to ensure adequate space within your distribution board or control cabinet

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect the power supply to the electrical system before installing or modifying any terminal blocks. Ensure that conductors are properly stripped to the recommended 1.2 cm length and fully inserted to maintain a safe, compliant, and reliable ground connection in accordance with industry standards.
