Simet LTA12-6 Terminal Strip, 12-Pole, 6mm2, Screw Type, Black

The Simet LTA12-6 is a professional-grade 12-pole screw-type terminal strip engineered for secure and efficient electrical connections. Designed to accommodate wires with a cross-section of 6mm2, this terminal block provides a robust solution for joining conductors in both residential and industrial electrical installations. Its durable construction and reliable screw mechanism ensure consistent contact, helping to maintain the integrity of electrical circuits and facilitate organized cable management within distribution boxes and control panels.

Advantages

This terminal strip offers exceptional reliability through its high-quality screw clamping system, which ensures that wires remain firmly in place even under vibration. The 12-pole configuration allows for the simultaneous connection of multiple circuits, significantly simplifying the wiring process and reducing the space required for connections. Its black, flame-retardant housing provides both aesthetic integration into dark-colored enclosures and essential safety, while the standardized design ensures compatibility with a wide range of electrical components and standard wire gauges.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical wiring and junction boxes
• Industrial control panels and automation systems
• Lighting installations and power distribution units
• General electrical maintenance and repair tasks

When it may not be suitable

This terminal strip is not intended for use in environments with extreme moisture or corrosive atmospheres unless housed in an appropriate IP-rated enclosure. It is also not suitable for high-current applications exceeding the rated capacity of a 6mm2 conductor or for connections requiring frequent, tool-free disconnection.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 12
• Conductor cross-section: 6mm2
• Connection type: Screw terminal
• Color: Black
• Material: Durable, flame-retardant plastic

How to use

To use the Simet LTA12-6, first ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires to be connected, ensuring the exposed copper length matches the terminal depth. Insert the wire into the desired pole and tighten the screw firmly using a compatible screwdriver to secure the connection. Verify that the wire is held tightly by giving it a gentle pull. If necessary, the strip can be cut to a smaller number of poles to fit specific installation requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6mm2 cross-section matches your specific wire gauge requirements.
• Ensure the 12-pole length fits within your intended enclosure or junction box.
• Confirm that the screw-type connection is appropriate for your installation environment.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that all screw connections are tightened to the appropriate torque to prevent overheating or loose contacts. Periodically inspect connections in high-vibration environments to maintain long-term electrical safety.
