ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 25 Phoenix Contact Compact and universal signal distribution Compared to a standard disconnect terminal block, the compact PT 2,52MTB reduces the length of the terminal strip by half. The new knife-disconnect terminal block is primarily used in wind turbines, in switchgear building, in process engineering, and in machine building for complex signaling tasks. It currently serves the cross-section range from 0.14 to 4.0 mm . The disconnect zones enable multiple bridging and testing tasks to be performed in one terminal block. In addition, each terminal block has its own test pick-off. The colored disconnect knives and actuating push buttons provide a good overview. The PT 2,5-2TGB disconnect terminal block is also available to match the knife-disconnect terminal block for use with plug-in fuse and device plugs. This terminal block also has two disconnect zones. PCB connectors with innovative Push-X technology Following the principle of a mousetrap, the conductor is caught simply by inserting it into the connector. Clamping contacts provide a long-term, reliable rigid and flexible connection for the conductors, with or without ferrules. When the conductor is inserted into the clamping space, it strikes the release element which then, with very little force, releases the contact spring. The pretensioned contact spring then permanently clamps the conductor with a de ned force. ‒The XPC 1,5 PCB connector from Phoenix Contact features direct plug-in connection with Push-X and thus enables fast and tool-free connection of various conductor types and cross-sections. An audible release sound and the changed position of the high-contrast orange release button tell the user that the conductor connection has been secured. The tool-free connection technology reduces assembly times and enables automated wiring. The release button is used to release the conductor and pretension the contact spring at the same time. The XPC 1,5 PCB connector is compatible with Phoenix Contact’s extensive COMBICON range with a 3.5 mm pitch. As a result, there are numerous combination options that cover a wide range of application versions. ‒The new PT 2,5-2MTB Push-in terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact have two disconnect zones. In conjunction with the three double function shafts, they enable a wide range of distribution applications to be realised in a small space.
