Device 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 G and GE Device Terminal Blocks feature the universal screw connection technology for connecting rigid and flexible conductors and enable multi-conductor connections in just one terminal point. The device connection terminal blocks are available in cross-sections of 4, 10 and 35 mm2. Depending on the cross-section, the block versions have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 12 positions. The device blocks can only be mounted using direct mounting (screwed on to a mounting plate) and the individual blocks can be tested quickly and easily via the clamping screws.
