Space-saving wiring up to 10 mm²
Wire conductors up to 10 mm² in a confined space with the new
UT 6-3L three-level terminal block.Thanks to the function shaft
on each level, up to three potentials can be distributed in one
terminal housing.
The conductors are connected using the maintenance-free
screw connection principle from Phoenix Contact. All terminal
points can be marked individually, thereby ensuring very clear
arrangement of the wired terminal strip. Power ratings of up to
1 000V and 50 A can be wired with the new three-level terminal
block. Since this terminal block also has all the system features
of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system, standard sys-
tem accessories can be used. This reduces the logistics costs
for the user.
