High-current terminal blocks with Power-Turn connection from Phoenix Contact: Power Wiring made easy

EIN terminal PowerTurn 400

May 21, 2019

You can wire conductor cross sections of up to 185 mm² very quickly using the PTPOWER 185 terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact. The patented Power-Turn spring connection technology enables you to connect large conductors conveniently with just a standard screwdriver and a single lever movement.

Alternatively, you can also insert conductors directly when the lever is closed by means of the Push-in technology. Optional snap-on terminal blocks enable easy voltage pick-off. PTPOWER terminal blocks are available in DIN rail or direct mounting variants for flexible installation. Preassembled terminal blocks lower your mounting costs, while the use of standardized CLIPLINE complete system accessories reduces your logistics costs.
