We are all familiar with distribution blocks. They are an integral part of control cabinets around the world. They are functional and fit for purpose, that’s probably why they haven’t changed in their basic design in many, many years. As for the termination technology, ‘screw will do’ has been the mainstay of the market.
Here at Phoenix Contact, we think we can do better than your average, common or garden, distribution block. We have incorporated our market leading ‘Push In’ technology into our new PTFIX distribution blocks, which then builds in all of the advantages associated with push in technology.
- Speed of termination- push in and you’re done
- One handed termination
- Visible indication that the termination has been made- if the orange release button is below the level of the block body, you can be sure that the termination is completed and contact is made
- The correct retention force EVERY time- no need for a torque driver
- Highly resistant to vibration- no need to re-check screws after shipping the cabinets and they won’t vibrate loose in high vibration applications.
- The distribution block are fully compatible with our Clipline complete din rail terminals and utilise the same common accessories such as jumpers and marking.
We have the right combinations for your application. As well as significant time saving aspect of PTFIX, other benefits you will enjoy are:
- Space saving
- Mounting options (Din Rail, Peel-Off Adhesive Back and Screw Flange options available)
- Modular design, easily expandable
- Easy to test, with integral test points
- 11 Colours available so you can easily identify your circuits
So why not make your cabinet build that little bit easier with PTFIX, the distribution block designed to save you time AND money.
