When you are competing in the global marketplace, you need world-class capabilities. DIN Rail components put those capabilities at your fingertips. The level of quality meets or exceeds every national and international standard for performance and safety.
DIN Rail Terminal Blocks
The heart of the system is the standardized DIN rail. Save installation time - just mount the rail and snap on terminal blocks and other components. A complete system in one organized arrangement provides reliability, high density, safety, economy as well as efficiency in design and production. Distribute power and ground, protect against overloads, isolate circuits, monitor status and more. Order as individual blocks or custom assemblies with one order number. Efficient screw-cage clamps provide reliable, vibration-proof and gas-tight terminations.

The heart of the philosophy is the standardized DIN Rail and snap-on terminal block. The DIN Rail makes possible a compact, organized arrangement of terminal blocks and other DIN Rail mount components. This gives more than just the appearance of quality; it saves time and space, enhances design capabilities and provides a centralized connect-disconnect area where external and/or internal wiring can be connected quickly and efficiently. At the same time, the DIN concept allows designers to take advantage of constant advances in terminal block technology. DIN Rail components do more than terminate wires. They distribute power and ground, protect against overloads and perform a host of other sophisticated functions. Whatever the application: control systems, instrumentation, automation—DIN Rail terminal blocks can help you create it and keep it as up-to-date as tomorrow.
Terminal blocks feature screw clamps for maximum wiring efficiency and reliability. The blocks are supplied with open clamps, ready to accept wires. No special wire preparation or wire lugs are required. Simply strip the wire, insert and tighten the screw to the torque for gas-tight, vibration resistant, solid connections.
The screw clamp design uses a tin-plated, solid copper or solid brass current bar with grooved serration, a steel cage clamp and screws. As the clamp is tightened, the wire is pressed firmly against the current bar, ensuring positive connections every time. The steel parts are zinc plated and passivated by a golden yellow chromate layer for maximum resistance against oxidation.
When applying tightening torques, use our straight blade screwdriver to fit the screw hole guides located in the terminal block housings.
Spring Clamp Connection
The spring clamp series terminal blocks offer a time saving alternative to the popular screw clamp connection.
The pre-stressed spring is opened using a tool (screw driver) so the conductor can be inserted into the insertion space through an opening in the spring leg. The conductor is pulled against the current bar under spring force when the tool is removed.
A high contact force is acheived by the design of the spring clamp system. The design delivers a secure and reliable connection for any application.
The metal parts of terminal blocks are housed in precision-molded, self-extinguishing polyamide 6.6 material for maximum dielectric strength, electrical insulation and temperature resistance. Standard features on all housings include funnel-shaped wire entry openings and screwdriver guides.
Many terminal blocks are AEx eII EEx eII ATEX* approved. They can be used in potentially explosive applications which may occur in chemical and petrochemical industry. These terminals can be used in Class 1, Zones 0, 1 and 2 hazardous locations. These terminal blocks comply to EN 500019.
The ATEX Directive besides taking into account the electrical sources of explosion, also considering potentially explosive concentrations of gas, vapor or mist along with dust in the air. The ATEX Directive identities two groups of equipment as per EN 50014.
Group 1 where the equipment is intended for use in mining applications.
Group 2 where the equipment is intended for all situations other than mines.
These groups are further classified into Zones. Zones are areas where there is risk of flammable material being released in the atmosphere. These zones describe the probability of a flammable material being released to atmosphere in explosive concentrations.
Zone 0 is the highest risk zone where an explosive atmosphere is expected to exist continuously or for very long periods of time.
Zone 1 is an area where an explosive atmosphere is expected to exist for short periods of time, but during a year the accumulation of such events is not in excess of 10000 hours.
Zone 2 is an area where an explosive concentration of flammable material is not expected and should it be released it will only exist for a very short period of time and where the accumulation of events over a year does not exceed much in excess of 10 hours.
