Its compact design allows for efficient space utilization within distribution cabinets, while the precise engineering facilitates quick and straightforward installation for professional electricians.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution boards
• Residential power distribution systems
• Control cabinets and automation panels
• Projects requiring secure termination of 1.5-16 mm² conductors

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically designed for 5mm thick rails and will not provide a secure fit on rails of different thicknesses. It is not intended for use with conductors outside the specified 1.5-16 mm² range or for applications involving high-vibration environments where specialized vibration-proof connectors are required.

Key specifications

• Rail compatibility: 5 mm thickness
• Conductor cross-section range: 1.5 mm² to 16 mm²
• Material: High-grade metal
• Application: Electrical distribution

How to use

To install the terminal, slide it onto the designated 5mm busbar rail until it is correctly positioned. Insert the stripped end of the electrical conductor into the clamping area. Use an appropriate tool to tighten the screw mechanism, ensuring the conductor is firmly held in place to establish a solid electrical connection. Verify that the connection is secure by gently pulling on the wire before closing the distribution board.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your existing busbar rail is exactly 5mm.
• Ensure your conductor cross-section falls within the 1.5-16 mm² range.
• Check the available space in your distribution board for installation.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance work on electrical components. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the terminal screw or the conductor.
