Suitable for

• Grounding applications in industrial control cabinets
• Electrical distribution systems
• Infrastructure and building automation projects
• Wiring installations requiring secure protective earth connections

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is specifically designed for protective earth (PE) applications and should not be used for phase or neutral power distribution. It is not intended for use in environments exceeding its specified mechanical or electrical ratings, nor is it suitable for applications requiring specialized hazardous area certifications unless explicitly stated.

Key specifications

• Cross-section: 10mm2
• Color: Green-Yellow
• Mounting type: DIN rail
• Function: Protective conductor terminal

How to use

To install the terminal block, snap it onto a standard DIN rail until it clicks securely into place. Insert the appropriately stripped protective conductor into the terminal opening and tighten the screw connection to the specified torque to ensure a firm grip. Ensure that the terminal is properly aligned with other components on the rail to maintain an organized and safe wiring layout within the control cabinet.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10mm2 cross-section matches your conductor size requirements
• Ensure compatibility with your existing DIN rail system
• Confirm that the application requires a protective earth (PE) connection

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the electrical system is de-energized before performing any installation or maintenance work on terminal blocks. Use appropriate tools to achieve the correct tightening torque to prevent damage to the terminal or the conductor.
