Phoenix Contact 1047461 PTFIX Distribution Block, 18x1.5mm², DIN Rail Mount, White, 20 Pieces

The Phoenix Contact 1047461 PTFIX distribution block is a professional-grade component engineered for efficient and organized electrical wiring in industrial environments. This set includes 20 white terminal blocks, each featuring 18 connection points designed for 1.5 mm² conductors. These blocks are specifically developed to facilitate reliable power distribution within compact control cabinets and automation systems, ensuring a tidy and functional electrical layout.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this distribution block is its highly compact design, which allows for significant space savings in crowded electrical enclosures. The integration of push-in connection technology enables rapid and tool-free wiring, reducing installation time while maintaining a secure electrical contact. Furthermore, the inclusion of test openings at every terminal point simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting processes. The clear marking system on each terminal point ensures that wiring remains organized and easy to identify, while the flexible mounting options allow for installation on standard DIN rails, providing versatility for various cabinet configurations.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Automation and control systems
• Power distribution in compact electrical enclosures
• Modular electrical installations requiring organized connections

This distribution block may not be suitable for applications involving high-power circuits exceeding the nominal current rating of 17.5 A or voltages higher than 500 V. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme vibration or corrosive elements unless housed within an appropriate protective enclosure.

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 500 V
• Nominal current: 17.5 A
• Connection method: Push-in connection
• Number of connections: 18
• Conductor cross-section: 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Mounting type: DIN rail NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15
• Width: 21.6 mm
• Color: White

How to use

To use the Phoenix Contact PTFIX distribution block, first ensure the DIN rail is securely installed in your control cabinet. Snap the block onto the NS 35 rail until it clicks into place. Strip the insulation from your conductors according to the specified cross-section range and insert them directly into the push-in terminal points. No special tools are required for the connection. For testing purposes, insert a standard test probe into the designated test opening located at each terminal point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 17.5 A current rating is sufficient for your specific circuit requirements.
• Ensure the 1.5 mm² capacity aligns with the gauge of the wires being used.
• Check the available space on your DIN rail to accommodate the 21.6 mm width of the block.
• Confirm that the operating environment does not exceed the specified voltage limits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that conductors are stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the push-in terminals. Regularly inspect connections during routine maintenance to ensure they remain secure and free from debris.
