Terminal Blocks, Push-In Connection

Phoenix Contact offers a new generation PIT (push-in terminals) Series Terminal Blocks with Push-In Connection Technology. PIT terminal blocks are based on the compression spring principle, but they set new standards for ease of use and ergonomics. Up to now, only rigid cables the size of the terminal’s nominal cross section had sufficient stiffness for tool-free and relatively practical wiring of comparable products. PIT terminal blocks, however, work with plugging forces reduced by approximately 50 per cent. With the new terminal principle, flexible cables with ferrules starting at 0.34 sq.mm can be connected directly to the terminal point without tools. The advantages of this direct plug technology open up new fields of application for the terminal, such as sensor wiring in mechanical and plant engineering. PIT accommodates rigid or finely stranded cables from 0.14 to 4 sq.mm. Finely stranded cables that have not been pre-assembled can be connected through the simple use of the latch. The PIT terminal blocks form a fundamental component of the "Clipline complete" terminal block system. Like other series, such as screw, spring-cage, quick and bolt connections, PIT uses the same complete line of accessories, such as plug-in bridges, testing equipment and labelling. This significantly reduces the cost of part storage. The compatibility of these systems also extends to other overlapping areas. The PIT product family includes the complete nominal cross-section range of 2.5 sq.mm. In addition to standard feed-through terminal blocks, the product program includes multilevel terminal blocks, functional terminals and pluggable terminal blocks. The PIT-Combi type pluggable terminal blocks also offer a high degree of flexibility. In modular machine designs, pluggable electrical solutions enjoy clear advantages in the commissioning, service and transportation of individual units. With its 24 A/800 V rating, the PIT-Combi is suitable for signal and power wiring.
