Click2Contact

Phoenix Contact has released a current indicator terminal block with Push-in connection technology. The PTTB 2,5-ILA 100 current indicator terminal block simplifies the connection process, with its Push-in connection technology allowing low insertion forces — enabling the conductors to be inserted easily and directly, and tool-free.

The current indicator terminal block detects interruptions or line breaks during operation — voltage drop is evaluated at a Zener diode in the reverse direction and is indicated by an LED so that the technician can see the operating status of the system. The device also features a printed circuit diagram for clear identification to help minimise faulty wiring and ensure performance.

The compact system helps users save on space with its slim design, while providing flexibility when it comes to configuration. Shock and vibration resistant, the device is robust and safe to use and operate.

The unit is suitable for use in a range of industries including systems manufacturing and machine building, process technology and process engineering, chemical and petrochemical, rail and shipbuilding, as well as in energy technology.
