High-performance plug system handles up to 30A

Pluggable ST-Combi spring cage terminal blocks are claimed to be more powerful than ever: they now allow pluggable power wiring up to 30A at 800V with a nominal 4mm2 cable size.

The pluggable ST-Combi spring cage terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are more powerful than ever: they now allow pluggable power wiring up to 30A at 800V with a nominal 4mm2 cable size. The combination of base terminal and plug provides the user with a modular, flexible and easy solution for all applications. The plugs can be ordered preassembled or can be assembled by the user.

Plug plates are delivered in grey, blue and green-yellow for easier alignment with the base terminal.

All terminal blocks in this series are equipped complete with Clipline system-compatible accessories.

As well as an identical bridging system, the labeling and testing systems are identical to the screw, spring cage and quick connection technology from Quickon.

This allows all terminal blocks from the four different methods to be combined with ease and minimizes the stock of accessories.

Phoenix Contact is one of the world leaders in developing and manufacturing connectivity solutions and automation components.

Its principal product ranges include: printed circuit board connectors; modular terminal blocks; fieldbus components; surge voltage protection systems; industrial plug and socket connectors and interface units.
