This field-wiring terminal block (item number 294-5013) is designed for quick and simple connections. Conductors can only be connected to this field-wiring terminal block if their strip length is between 8 mm and 9 mm. This product features four conductor terminals and utilizes Push-in CAGE CLAMP as well as PUSH WIRE. Push-in CAGE CLAMP technology provides a universal connection solution for any type of conductor. It allows both solid and fine-stranded conductors with ferrules to be inserted directly into the clamping point without the need for tools.
PROFIBUS & Profinet International (PI) and its technologies are synonymous with a multitude of innovations and cross-manufacturer interoperability. When it comes to connectivity, this starts with connectors and cables. This is currently already possible with two- and four-pair Ethernet cabling. And now Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), a connector for industrial automation, is continuing the success story. This brings clarity and certainty to a long-awaited topic. It is an important milestone that takes miniaturization a significant step forward with the help of SPE. With its forward-thinking structure, the new SPE connector system was realized based on essential application requirements.
