The Weidmüller KLBUE 4-13.5 CPF16 is a professional-grade shield connection terminal engineered to provide superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection for industrial cabling. Designed for precision and durability, this terminal ensures a secure, low-resistance electrical connection between the cable shield and the grounding system, which is essential for maintaining signal integrity in sensitive automation environments.
Advantages
This shield connection terminal offers exceptional mechanical stability and reliable contact performance, even under conditions of vibration or thermal expansion. Its design facilitates quick and efficient installation, reducing downtime during system assembly or maintenance. By providing a consistent, large-surface contact area, the terminal effectively minimizes impedance, ensuring that high-frequency interference is reliably diverted to the ground, thereby protecting sensitive control electronics from noise and potential malfunctions.
Suitable for
- Industrial automation and control systems
- Grounding of shielded cables in control cabinets
- Applications requiring high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
- Data and signal transmission lines
When it may not be suitable
This terminal is not intended for use with cables outside the specified diameter range of 4mm to 13.5mm, as doing so may compromise the mechanical grip or the quality of the electrical contact. It is also not suitable for high-current power transmission applications where the primary function is not electromagnetic shielding.
Key specifications
- Cable diameter range: 4mm to 13.5mm
- Function: Shield connection and grounding
- Material: Corrosion-resistant metal alloy
- Mounting type: Rail-mounted or direct contact
How to use
To install the terminal, first prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the braided shield. Position the terminal over the exposed shield area and tighten the clamping mechanism according to the manufacturer's torque specifications. Ensure that the terminal is firmly attached to the grounding rail or mounting surface to establish a continuous electrical path to the earth ground.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the outer diameter of your shielded cable matches the 4-13.5mm range
- Ensure compatibility with your existing mounting rail or grounding busbar system
- Confirm the environmental conditions of the installation site
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, ensure that the contact surface of the grounding rail is clean and free of oxidation before installation. Regularly inspect the connection during routine maintenance to ensure the clamping force remains consistent.
