Phoenix Contact PTFIX 6/18X2,5-NS35 Distribution Block

The Phoenix Contact PTFIX 6/18X2,5-NS35 distribution block is a professional-grade component engineered for efficient power and signal distribution within industrial control cabinets. This compact device facilitates organized wiring in complex electrical systems, allowing for high-density connectivity while maintaining a small physical footprint. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it serves as a robust solution for modern electrical infrastructure.

Advantages

This distribution block offers significant time savings during installation by providing ready-to-mount units that eliminate the need for manual bridging. The integrated Push-in direct connection technology allows for tool-free conductor insertion, which accelerates the wiring process. Its versatile design supports multiple mounting options, including DIN rail, direct, or adhesive mounting, providing flexibility for various cabinet layouts. Furthermore, the block enables space savings of up to 50% on the DIN rail through its transverse mounting capability, while the availability of different color variants ensures clear and systematic wiring identification.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Power distribution in automation systems
• Signal distribution in complex electrical panels
• High-density connectivity applications

This distribution block may not be suitable for applications requiring wire cross-sections larger than 4 mm² or for environments where the nominal voltage exceeds 690 V. It is also not intended for use in high-vibration environments without proper assessment of the mounting method.

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 690 V
• Nominal current: 24 A
• Connection method: Push-in connection
• Number of connections: 19
• Cross section: 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² (AWG 26 - 12)
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rail
• Width: 28.6 mm
• Depth: 58.1 mm
• Color: Green

How to use

To use the PTFIX 6/18X2,5-NS35, mount the block onto the compatible NS 35 DIN rail. Insert the stripped conductors directly into the Push-in connection points without the need for specialized tools. If additional capacity is required, the blocks can be interconnected via the conductor shaft using appropriate plug-in bridges. Ensure that the total current does not exceed the specified nominal limits during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the wire gauge falls within the 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² range
• Ensure the DIN rail type matches the NS 35 standard
• Check if the green color coding aligns with your existing cabinet identification system
• Confirm that the total current requirements of your circuit do not exceed 24 A

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that conductors are stripped to the correct length before insertion to maintain a secure and reliable connection. Periodically inspect the connections in high-vibration environments to ensure long-term operational integrity.
