When I visit Myanmar, customers would often ask me, “Why is it that Phoenix Contact’s Terminal Blocks considered a premium product?”
They will look at me, waiting for an answer, hoping that they did not say anything to offend.
“Aren’t all Terminal Blocks the same?”, after a brief moment of silence.
Well, the answer to this questions is definitely, no. They are not one and the same.
And that was how I sparked their curiosity. “Tell me more”, they said.

A Market Leader since 1923
I would go on and explained that the reason why Phoenix Contact has been the leader in such a simple yet sophisticated product, that today, it is trusted around the world.
So trusted, that projects in Southeast Asia, even big government projects, are using them.
If I have interest you, just like my Myanmar customers, then read on.

To allow fast and individual potential distribution, the terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system have two function shafts.
These are arranged in one line over all the terminal blocks, allowing for a combination of connection technologies.

Like the terminal blocks, the COMBI connectors are available with screw, spring-cage, push-in, and fast connection technologies too.
The nominal data of up to 41 A and 1000 V have made a connection system for signal and power wiring possible.
The system meets the most stringent of vibration requirements. Both the terminal blocks and the plugs are touch proof.
Extensive accessories are available, from latching mechanisms to shield connections.

Optional large-surface snap-on marker carriers are available for group and terminal strip marking.
