Need a swift, tool-free way to join two wires in a circuit? Cut out fiddly electrical installations with this knife-disconnect terminal block from Phoenix Contact. Thanks to the clever terminal design, conductors simply push in from the front, so the unit is easy to operate even in tight spaces. There’s no need to remove the block or wiring to open the circuit, as you can just use the central button to lever up the blade.
This component has a double-function shaft and an additional test contact so you can keep a close eye on current measurements. You'll have no trouble adding the block to your control cabinet, as clipping it to a DIN rail is a doddle. Measuring up at only 5.2mm wide, it takes up minimal room in crowded setups. Knife disconnect terminal blocks like this one serve as a handy addition to automation, instrumentation and transport infrastructure applications.

• Meets EN 45545-2 fire-protection standard for use in rail vehicles
• Robust PA housing provides reliable insulation
• Safe to operate at temperatures between -60°C and +105°C
• Accepts either rigid or flexible conductors for convenience

Push-In Connection Terminal Blocks

The PT series is characterised by easy, direct conductor connection, and it consistently uses the advantages of the CLIPLINE complete system. The up to 50% lower insertion forces of the PT push-in connection method also allows easy and direct plugging of solid and stranded conductors with ferrules of 0.34mm² and up.
