Phoenix Contact USLKG 10 N Protective Conductor Terminal Block, Yellow and Green

The Phoenix Contact USLKG 10 N is a professional-grade protective conductor terminal block engineered for reliable grounding in complex electrical systems. Designed with a standard yellow and green color scheme, it allows for immediate visual identification as a ground connection point within control cabinets and distribution boards. This terminal block provides a secure, low-resistance path to the mounting rail, ensuring safety and compliance in demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

This terminal block utilizes a robust screw connection technology that ensures high contact force and long-term stability even under vibration. The design allows for a wide range of conductor cross-sections, making it a versatile component for various wiring requirements. Its high-quality materials provide excellent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, while the standardized mounting footprint ensures compatibility with common DIN rail systems.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels
• Electrical distribution systems
• Automation equipment grounding
• Machinery and plant engineering

This terminal block may not be suitable for applications requiring specialized high-current busbar connections or environments where screw-less (push-in) termination is strictly mandated by specific project standards. It is also not intended for use as a standard power-carrying terminal block, as it is specifically designed for protective earth (PE) grounding functions.

Key specifications

• Connection method: Screw connection
• Number of connections: 2
• Cross-section range: 0.5 mm² to 16 mm²
• AWG range: 20 to 6
• Width: 10.2 mm
• Height: 45.8 mm
• Mounting compatibility: NS 35/7,5, NS 35/15, NS 32
• Color: Green-yellow

To install the terminal block, snap it onto the appropriate DIN rail (NS 35 or NS 32). Strip the insulation from your conductor according to the required length, insert the wire into the terminal point, and tighten the screw to the specified torque to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Ensure the mounting rail is properly grounded to the main protective earth system of the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the DIN rail type used in your enclosure
• Ensure the wire gauge falls within the 0.5 mm² to 16 mm² range
• Confirm that the 10.2 mm width fits your available space
• Check local electrical regulations regarding grounding terminal requirements

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the mounting rail is securely connected to the protective earth system of the facility before installing the terminal block to guarantee effective grounding performance.
