The Push-X Connection and Combi Plug-in Zone enables effortless and efficient wiring in control cabinet building by connecting the field level with preassembled COMBI connectors. With the tool-free direct-connection technology that requires virtually no force, the Push-X connection offers a high level of operating convenience for all conductor types. Flexible conductors without ferrules can be connected particularly quickly. In addition, visual and haptic feedback from the terminal point supports intuitive connection, which makes operation easier and minimizes errors. The new XT 2,5…/P terminal blocks are technically impressive with a nominal cross-section of 2.5 mm² and conductor cross-sections of 0.5 to 4 mm². They are designed for currents of up to 24 A and voltages of up to 800 V, ensuring high performance and flexibility in various applications. Another advantage is the quick release of the conductor due to the locking mechanism in the terminal point. This saves time and increases the efficiency of maintenance work. In addition, the configurable and standard COMBI connectors with up to 15 positions offer full flexibility for different wiring requirements. This makes the pluggable terminal blocks with Push-X connection and Combi plug-in zone a modern and flexible solution for control cabinet building that enables simple, fast, and reliable wiring and helps to increase efficiency and reduce errors.
