Simet SCB 35-5X SIMBLOCK 5-pole Al/Cu distribution block 35mm2 green/grey/blue

The Simet SCB 35-5X SIMBLOCK is a professional 5-pole distribution and branch block engineered for the reliable connection of aluminum and copper conductors with a cross-section of up to 35mm2. This component is designed to streamline power distribution within electrical control cabinets and industrial systems, providing a secure and organized method for managing multiple electrical circuits. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability in demanding environments, while the integrated color coding helps maintain clear identification of phases or neutral lines.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this distribution block is its versatility in handling both aluminum and copper wiring, which allows for greater flexibility during installation. The compact design saves valuable space in electrical enclosures, enabling a higher density of connections without compromising safety or accessibility. Furthermore, the clear color-coded housing in green, grey, and blue simplifies the wiring process, reduces the risk of connection errors, and makes future maintenance or troubleshooting significantly more efficient for electrical professionals.

Suitable for

• Power distribution in industrial control cabinets
• Branching electrical circuits in automation systems
• Connecting aluminum and copper conductors in electrical panels
• Organized wiring for commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This distribution block is not intended for use with conductors exceeding 35mm2 in cross-section, as attempting to fit larger cables may result in poor contact or mechanical failure. It is also not suitable for direct outdoor exposure without a protective, weather-rated enclosure, as the terminal block is designed for indoor electrical panel environments.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 5
• Maximum conductor cross-section: 35mm2
• Compatibility: Aluminum and copper conductors
• Color coding: Green, grey, and blue
• Application: Electrical distribution and branching

How to use

To use the Simet SCB 35-5X, ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected before starting any work. Strip the insulation from the ends of your aluminum or copper conductors to the appropriate length. Insert the conductors into the designated terminals and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm mechanical and electrical connection. Verify that the wires are held firmly and that no loose strands are exposed. Once all connections are made, perform a final check of the wiring configuration against your electrical diagram before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the conductor cross-section of your wiring does not exceed 35mm2
• Ensure the environment is suitable for indoor electrical installation
• Confirm the number of poles required for your specific distribution layout
• Check compatibility with your existing terminal block mounting system

Usage recommendations: Always use a calibrated torque screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent damage to the conductors or the block itself. Periodically inspect the connections for any signs of thermal stress or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
