Simet 870S-15FS Protective PE Terminal Block for TS35 Rail, 15-Pole, 16mm2, Green

The Simet 870S-15FS is a professional-grade 15-pole protective PE terminal block engineered for secure grounding applications within electrical distribution systems. Designed specifically for mounting on standard TS35 DIN rails, this terminal block provides a robust and organized solution for managing protective earth connections in both industrial control cabinets and residential electrical panels. Its durable construction and clear green color coding ensure easy identification and long-term reliability in demanding electrical environments.

Advantages

This terminal block offers exceptional mechanical stability and electrical conductivity, ensuring that grounding circuits remain secure under various operating conditions. The 15-pole configuration allows for the consolidation of multiple earth connections into a single, space-saving unit, which significantly simplifies the wiring process within crowded control cabinets. The high-quality materials used in its construction provide excellent resistance to environmental factors, while the standardized design ensures seamless compatibility with existing TS35 rail systems, reducing installation time and complexity.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and automation systems
• Residential and commercial electrical distribution boards
• Grounding and protective earth (PE) circuit management
• Electrical installations requiring organized multi-point earthing

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not intended for use with power conductors or neutral lines, as it is specifically designed for protective earth (PE) grounding purposes. It may also be unsuitable for applications requiring wire cross-sections larger than 16mm2 or in environments where extreme chemical exposure exceeds the material specifications of the housing.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 15
• Mounting type: TS35 DIN rail
• Maximum wire cross-section: 16mm2
• Function: Protective earth (PE) grounding
• Color: Green

How to use

To install the Simet 870S-15FS, snap the unit firmly onto the TS35 DIN rail until it clicks into place. Strip the insulation from your protective earth conductors to the appropriate length and insert them into the terminal openings. Tighten the screws securely to ensure a low-resistance electrical connection. Ensure that the rail itself is properly grounded to the main earth bus of the enclosure to maintain the integrity of the protective system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your enclosure is equipped with a standard TS35 DIN rail
• Ensure the total number of earth connections does not exceed the 15-pole capacity
• Check that your conductor size is compatible with the 16mm2 terminal limit
• Confirm that the green color coding aligns with your local electrical safety standards for PE terminals

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that all terminal screws are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent loose connections. Regularly inspect the terminal block during routine maintenance to ensure no oxidation or mechanical loosening has occurred over time.
