Designed with a robust screw connection system, this terminal block ensures a stable mechanical and electrical bond, essential for maintaining safety in complex distribution systems. Its compact design and standardized mounting capabilities make it an efficient solution for organizing wiring in demanding environments.

Advantages

This terminal block offers exceptional reliability through its high-quality screw connection technology, which maintains consistent contact pressure over time. The green-yellow color coding ensures immediate identification as a protective earth component, adhering to industry safety standards. Its versatile design supports a wide range of conductor cross-sections, providing flexibility for various installation requirements while ensuring a secure fit on standard DIN rails.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Electrical distribution systems
• Grounding applications in automation panels
• Machinery and equipment control circuits

This terminal block is not intended for use with power-carrying conductors, as it is specifically designed for protective earth connections. It may also be unsuitable for applications requiring high-vibration resistance where spring-cage connections might be preferred over screw-type terminals.

Key specifications

• Connection method: Screw connection
• Cross-section capacity: 0.14 mm² to 4 mm²
• AWG range: 26 to 12
• Number of connections: 2
• Width: 5.2 mm
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails
• Color: Green-yellow

How to use

To install the terminal block, snap it onto a compatible NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 DIN rail until it clicks securely into place. Strip the insulation from your grounding conductor according to the required length, insert the wire into the terminal opening, and tighten the screw to the specified torque to ensure a firm connection. Ensure that the terminal is properly grounded to the DIN rail to maintain the integrity of the protective earth circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your DIN rail type matches the NS 35 specifications.
• Ensure the conductor size falls within the 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² range.
• Confirm that the 5.2 mm width fits your current terminal strip layout.

Usage recommendations: Always use appropriate tools for tightening screws to avoid damaging the terminal housing and ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations.
