Phoenix Contact: Push-in Terminal Blocks

Aug. 3, 2013
The STIO 2.5 Series of push-in technology (PT) terminal blocks now includes a smaller version.

The PTIO 1.5/S Series is only 3.5 mm wide with a new top-level location for the power wiring. The blocks offer high-density power distribution for field sensors and actuators. The compact double-level terminals are available in three- and four-wire versions. The upper level is for signal feed-through and is available with or without an LED. Continuous bridge shafts allow a quick and simple potential distribution of power using push-in bridges. The PT terminal blocks allow easy and fast termination of ferruled wire by simply pushing the wire for a complete termination. Stranded wire is terminated by pushing the orange actuator, opening the spring for the insertion of the wire. All new versions are compatible with the Clipline Complete system of bridging, marking and test accessories. The PT 1.5/S Series features up to 50 percent reduced push-in force compared with other push-in type terminal blocks and allows for up to 35 percent faster termination than standard spring cage because of its short push button activation stroke.
