ABB Entrelec Terminal Blocks Diverse Connection Technologies

Screw connection technology

The screw connection technology stands for reliable and safe connections and prevents disconnection due to vibrations, impacts or even unintentional pulling on the conductor. The flexible screw connection allows the connection of a maximum of two conductors per terminal. A flap on the terminal cage prevents the cable from being inserted below the terminal cage. This reduces wiring errors.

Characteristics

• Connection capacity from 0.2 to 240 mm²
• Hardened steel ensures a robust connection
• Integrated self-locking system makes tightening unnecessary
• High torque resistance thanks to stamped terminals with 30% more threads
• PI spring connection technology

The intelligent 2 in 1 PI connection technology offers the advantages of two technologies (push-in and spring) in one connection. The push-in mode ensures a 50% faster connection time and the spring mode reduces both the effort and preparation time of the conductor. The flat surface of the PI spring makes it easier to insert the conductor and screwdriver. The connection angle is 30 ° and ensures easy wiring.

• Connection capacity from 0.2 to 25 mm² (26 to 4 AWG)
• High corrosion resistance (> 1,000 h)
• Stable electrical contact even in applications with frequent shocks and vibrations (e.g. railway applications)
• Spring-assisted screw connection technology

The spring-supported screw connection technology – a combination of spring-supported screw terminal connection and angled wire end ferrule – guarantees the highest level of safety, even for demanding working conditions. An electrically conductive connection is guaranteed even if the screw is unintentionally pulled out. Thanks to the high wiring density (max. 2 cable lugs per terminal), space can be saved in the control cabinet.

Characteristics

• Connection capacity from 0.22 to 10 mm² (22 – 6 AWG)
• Robust construction (clamp cage + spring made of hardened steel)
• Meets IEC and BS TS5018 standards
• Pluggable connection technology

The pluggable connection technology guarantees the highest level of efficiency during installation. It improves system efficiency, increases productivity and optimizes wiring. The plug & play function ensures easy installation and commissioning. The assembly and testing time is reduced by up to 90%.

• Connection capacity from 0.2 to 6 mm² (26 to 10 AWG)
• Vibration and shock resistant
• ADO System® IDC technology

The ADO System® technology is based on the Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) technology (insulation displacement connection). This technology enables significant increases in productivity, as the wiring time is up to 80% shorter than with the screw connection. At the same time, it offers a safe and reliable connection even in demanding environments. Since the wiring can only be loosened with a tool, the connections are protected against unintentional manipulation.

Characteristics

• Connection capacity from 0.22 to 4 mm² (24 to 12 AWG)
• Technologies: ADO / screw connection and ADO / ADO terminal blocks
• Gas-tight connection
• Maintenance-free connection without screws
• “C” -shaped jaws enable permanently balanced contact forces

ABB Entrelec Terminal Blocks Bolt Connection Technology

The disconnect-proof bolt connection technology improves the wiring security through its “pull-off-safe” connection (bolt + cable lug). Thanks to the high wiring density of the bolt connection, space in the control cabinet can be saved. This connection technology is available with one or two conductors per stud. The range of applications for bolt connection technology is broad. It is ideal for industrial applications as well as for demanding environments (e.g. railways).

Characteristics

• Connection capacity up to 300 mm² (1,000 Kcmil)
• Vibration-resistant components (washers, nuts)
• Adapted for industrial control or power distribution applications
