Touch-proof terminal blocks designed for extreme durability under harsh temperatures

Phoenix Contact BT Series CLIPLINE Complete Barrier Terminal Blocks combine a ring cable lug connection with the advantages of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system. The products are available now from Mouser. The uniform system accessories, such as the standardised plug-in bridges, provide considerable time savings during wiring. Using continuous marker strips, the terminal blocks can be marked across a big surface, and every terminal point can be marked clearly. The transparent design of the strips indicates you preserve a clear overview when bridging. The blocks for DIN rail mounting and direct mounting are offered with numerous connection technologies and as hybrid versions. Barrier connection technology offers a convenient to use, high-performance connection that is reliable in any application. The barrier connection technology is subjected to tests which go beyond the basic standard testing, allowing it to be used in all sectors of industry, such as transportation technology, energy supply, and chemical, as well as shipbuilding industries. The Push-in connection technology needs up to 50% lower conductor insertion forces. The barrier and Push-in connection technologies produce high-grade, gas-tight connections that cannot be impaired even by aggressive substances and are tested for maximum vibration and shock resistance. The terminal blocks are offered in three styles: DIN rail mounting, direct mounting, and Push-in and screw connections. The DIN rail mounting components do not need tools. With a particular design locking foot, they mount and slide easily on any NS-35 DIN rails. Remove them without tools by tipping the terminal block slightly to the side to unlock it and easily unsnapping it. Direct-mounted terminal blocks can be organised in series in individual terminal block bases and secured with the integrated flanges and cover flanges with no separation loss. The Push-in and screw connection provides safe and easy connection to conductors with a spring-guided screw, making the wiring quick and simple. The touch-proof terminal blocks are created for extreme durability even under harsh temperature conditions. Plastics, as well as metal parts, give sufficient safety reserves. Barrier hybrid terminal blocks can resist short-circuit currents until the relevant safety equipment cuts off the current, without sustaining any damage and also demonstrates maximum contact reliability, even under extreme overload.
