Potential Collective Terminal Blocks

Terminal blocks are a modular block with an insulated frame connecting two or more wires in a reliable manner. A clamping component and a conducting strip are used to secure and organize connecting wires, allowing multiple outgoing wires to join to one singular incoming wire. Wires are secured to the terminal blocks with screw connections, spring cage connections, push in connections (requiring the use of ferrules on the wires), fast connections, or barrier connections (requiring ring or spade terminals on the wires). Terminal blocks are the perfect solution for complicated control circuits that require secure, well-organized and semi-permanent wire connections that can easily be switched out for repair or inspection in the field. Within a control board, terminal blocks are snapped firmly into place on a mounting or DIN rail. When modifications to the circuit are performed, they can easily be added or removed from the rail without interfering with other wire connections.

Phoenix Contact Potential Collective Terminal Blocks feature a 35 mm2 feed-in that has been designed as a screw connection. The distribution connections can be Push-in or spring-cage connection technology. These hybrid terminal blocks combine different connection technologies in a single terminal block. This allows the use of fast connection solutions on the internal control cabinet side and the use of universal solutions on the end customer side. The wide range of versions allows the creation of application-oriented designs.
