Phoenix Contact 3045062 2-Conductor Terminal Block, 0.14-4mm², Red

The Phoenix Contact 3045062 is a professional-grade 2-conductor feed-through terminal block engineered for secure and reliable electrical connections in industrial environments. Designed for versatility, this component supports a wide wire cross-section range from 0.14 mm² to 4 mm², making it an essential element for modern control cabinets and automation systems. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance for both signal and power distribution tasks.

Advantages

This terminal block offers significant benefits for electrical installations, primarily through its space-saving compact design that facilitates efficient wiring in confined areas. The large wiring space allows for the connection of both solid and stranded conductors without the immediate need for ferrules, even when working above the nominal cross-section. Furthermore, the integrated cable entry funnel simplifies the insertion of conductors with ferrules and plastic collars, while the closed screw shafts provide excellent screwdriver guidance to ensure precise and safe installation.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinets
• Automation and process control systems
• Electrical distribution panels
• General wiring installations requiring secure screw connections

This terminal block may not be suitable for applications involving extremely high-vibration environments where spring-cage connections might be preferred, or for installations requiring specialized hazardous area certifications not covered by the standard specifications. It is also not intended for use with wire sizes exceeding the 4 mm² limit or for applications requiring higher current ratings than the specified 24 A.

Key specifications

• Connection method: Screw connection
• Number of connections: 2
• Cross-section range: 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² (AWG 26 - 12)
• Nominal voltage: 1000 V
• Nominal current: 24 A
• Width: 5.2 mm
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails
• Color: Red

To use the terminal block, mount it securely onto a standard NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15 DIN rail. Strip the insulation from your conductor according to the required length, insert the wire into the terminal point, and tighten the screw using an appropriate screwdriver. The closed screw shaft design ensures the tool remains centered during the tightening process, providing a stable and vibration-resistant connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the DIN rail type in your cabinet is compatible with NS 35 standards
• Verify that your wire gauge falls within the 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² range
• Check if the 24 A current rating meets the requirements of your specific circuit
• Confirm that the red color coding aligns with your internal wiring identification standards

Ensure that all electrical connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to maintain long-term contact integrity and safety. Always disconnect power sources before performing any installation or maintenance work on the terminal block.
