Only 22.5mm wide, the new rail-mounting Mini-PS power supply from Phoenix Contact offers big savings in valuable panel space.
Wiring is fast and straightforward.
The terminal clamp is simply opened by pressing it with an ordinary screwdriver.
The cable is then inserted, and the clamp released.
No special tools are needed, and the cable requires no stripping or other preparation - the patented cutting mechanism incorporated in all Phoenix Contact quick-connection terminals guarantees a dependable low-resistance connection every time.
Phoenix Contact's new QTC 1.5 terminals are available in a wide range of types, including multiple-wire and switch-disconnect versions, together with multilevel versions which allow even greater space savings to be achieved.
All are designed for fast, easy mounting on standard DIN rail.
All the new QTC 1.5 terminals use the same labelling system, interconnection bridges and other accessories as the company's popular ST spring-clamp terminal range.
This not only provides outstanding versatility by making it easy to intermix the two types of terminal, but it also means that those using both types of terminal only have to order and stock a single range of accessories. Request a free brochure from Phoenix Contact ...
