What are the advantages of spring contact terminal blocks?
Reduce wiring time
Spring contact terminal blocks reduce wiring time.
They are designed to connect solid wires, stranded wires or wires with cable shoe.
To guarantee good connection and holding force, we recommend to use solid or stranded wires with a diameter in the range of 1,0—1,5 mm² or wires with cable shoe 0,75—1,0 mm², length 7 mm.
Always good contact
With classical screw connections, the quality of the connection depends on the torque. Spring contact terminal blocks automatically connect the wire. This eliminates the judgment of the operator or the need of a specific torque screwdriver. No matter who operates it, accurate and consistent wiring can be done. The tool is just a standard screwdriver.
Eliminate routine maintenance
Unlike most screw-type terminal blocks, there is no need to check or re-tighten the spring contact terminal block. Contacts loosened due to disturbances, temperature cycling, strand breaks, etc.
Reliability saves money
The inherent reliability of spring contact terminal blocks reduces downtime and the number of user maintenance requests. Most maintenance departments estimate that 35-50 % of maintenance requests are the result of poor contacts. Consider the high cost of maintenance and loss of production time. So this savings is significant.
