Pick-Off Terminal Blocks
Pick-off terminal blocks are modular wiring components used to distribute or collect electrical potential within control panels and industrial electrical systems. Like standard terminal blocks, they provide a secure, organized method for connecting multiple conductors, allowing one incoming wire to be safely distributed to multiple outgoing circuits. Their modular design supports clean panel layouts while simplifying inspection, troubleshooting, and future system modifications.
This category includes pick-off terminal blocks rated for 1,000V and 1,500V applications, making them suitable for higher-voltage industrial environments. Phoenix Contact AGK pick-off terminal blocks are commonly used for direct voltage pick-off or current collection by connecting to busbars via threaded screw connections. Push-in connection technology allows fast, tool-free wiring while maintaining secure conductor retention and consistent electrical contact.
Pick-off terminal blocks are typically mounted on DIN rail systems and can be added or removed without disturbing adjacent wiring. They are frequently used in control cabinets, power distribution panels, and automation systems where structured potential distribution is required. Their robust construction and high voltage ratings make them a reliable solution for demanding electrical applications requiring both safety and flexibility.
FAQs
Q: What are pick-off terminal blocks used for?
Pick-off terminal blocks are used for voltage distribution or current collection within electrical panels, allowing multiple outgoing circuits to connect to a single incoming potential.
Q: What voltage ratings are available for pick-off terminal blocks?
Pick-off terminal blocks are commonly available in 1,000V and 1,500V ratings, supporting higher-voltage industrial and power distribution applications.
Q: How are pick-off terminal blocks mounted?
They are typically mounted on standard DIN rails, allowing easy installation, removal, and system expansion without disturbing other terminal connections.
Q: What connection types are used in pick-off terminal blocks?
Depending on the model, connections may include screw terminals, push-in connections, spring cage clamps, or threaded busbar connections for reliable conductor termination.
Q: How do pick-off terminal blocks differ from standard pass-through terminal blocks?
While pass-through terminal blocks connect two conductors directly, pick-off terminal blocks are designed specifically for distributing or collecting electrical potential from a common source, often via a busbar.
