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 distribution within industrial control cabinets. This compact terminal block facilitates organized and secure wiring, significantly streamlining the installation process in complex electrical systems. Designed for high reliability, it provides a robust and space-saving solution for managing multiple electrical connections in a single, integrated unit.

Advantages

This distribution block offers significant time savings of up to 80% during installation because it arrives as a ready-to-mount unit, eliminating the need for manual bridging. The integrated Push-in direct connection technology allows for tool-free conductor insertion, which accelerates wiring tasks while maintaining a secure electrical contact. Its versatile design supports various mounting methods, including DIN rail, direct, or adhesive mounting, providing flexibility for different cabinet layouts. Furthermore, the transverse mounting capability allows for up to 50% space savings on the DIN rail, making it an ideal choice for compact control panels.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Power distribution in automation systems
• Organized terminal management in electrical panels
• Applications requiring high-density connection points

This distribution block may not be suitable for applications involving high-vibration environments where specific locking mechanisms beyond standard Push-in technology are required. It is also not intended for use in high-power circuits exceeding the specified nominal current of 24 A or voltage ratings above 690 V.

Key specifications

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

How to use

To use the PTFIX distribution block, snap the unit onto a standard NS 35 DIN rail. Insert stripped conductors directly into the Push-in connection points without the need for tools. If additional capacity is required, the blocks can be bridged with one another via the integrated conductor shaft using compatible plug-in bridges. Ensure that the conductor cross-section falls within the specified range of 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² for a secure and reliable connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 24 A current rating meets your circuit requirements.
• Ensure the DIN rail type in your cabinet is compatible with NS 35 standards.
• Check if the 19 connection points are sufficient for your specific wiring density needs.
• Confirm that the conductor sizes used in your installation are within the 26-12 AWG range.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, ensure that all conductors are stripped to the correct length before insertion. When bridging multiple blocks, always use the manufacturer-recommended plug-in bridges to maintain electrical integrity and safety standards.
