Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution panels
• Residential electrical wiring systems
• Connecting aluminum and copper conductors in junction boxes
• Commercial building electrical infrastructure

This terminal block may not be suitable for applications involving extremely high-vibration environments where spring-loaded connectors might be preferred, or for installations requiring wire gauges outside the specified capacity range of the terminal block. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme chemical exposure that could degrade the housing material.

Key specifications

• Type: Screw terminal block
• Compatibility: Aluminum and copper conductors
• Color: Brown
• Application: Power distribution

To use the Simet STB 185-2, first ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected. Strip the insulation from the conductor ends according to the required length, ensuring the wire surface is clean. Insert the conductor into the terminal opening and tighten the screw firmly to the specified torque to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Verify that the wire is held tightly and cannot be pulled out before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cross-section of your conductors matches the terminal capacity
• Ensure the installation environment is compatible with the terminal's material specifications
• Confirm the required number of connection points for your specific circuit layout

For optimal safety and performance, always use a calibrated torque screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws. Regularly inspect the connections during routine maintenance to ensure they remain tight and free from signs of oxidation or thermal stress.
