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

The Phoenix Contact PTFIX 6/18X2,5-NS35 OG is a professional electrical distribution block engineered for high-efficiency power distribution within control cabinets. This compact terminal block provides a reliable and organized solution for managing electrical connections, ensuring that wiring remains tidy and secure. Designed for industrial automation and complex electrical installations, it offers a robust method for distributing power while maintaining a small physical footprint on the DIN rail.

Advantages

This distribution block significantly reduces installation time by up to 80% 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 speeds up the wiring process while ensuring a secure contact. Its design supports flexible installation options, including DIN rail mounting, direct mounting, or adhesive mounting, providing versatility for various cabinet layouts. Furthermore, the block helps save up to 50% of space on the DIN rail through its efficient transverse mounting capability, and the orange color assists in clear identification within complex wiring systems.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control cabinets
• Electrical distribution systems
• Projects requiring high-density wiring
• Applications where space-saving on DIN rails is critical

This distribution block may not be suitable for applications requiring wire gauges larger than 4 mm² or those operating at voltages exceeding 690 V. It is also not intended for environments where the specific mechanical mounting requirements of NS 35 rails cannot be met.

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 26-12)
• Width: 28.6 mm
• Depth: 58.1 mm
• Mounting type: NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15
• Color: Orange

How to use

To use the block, mount it onto the compatible NS 35 DIN rail. Insert the 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 wire cross-section is within the specified range of 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² for a secure and compliant connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your DIN rail type is compatible with NS 35 standards.
• Ensure the total current load does not exceed the 24 A rating.
• Check that your conductor sizes fall within the 0.14 mm² to 4 mm² range.
• Confirm that the orange color meets your specific color-coding requirements for the installation.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power is disconnected before performing any wiring tasks. Use appropriate wire strippers to prepare conductors according to the terminal block specifications to ensure optimal contact quality and safety.
