IDC Terminal Blocks Reduce Wiring Time

Nov. 1, 2000

The taris insulation displacement contact (IDC) series terminal blocks accept the company's standard SiST fuse holders for applications requiring circuit protection. Designated the WKC TKG/35 Series, the blocks have the potential to reduce wiring installation time as much as 50-60% by eliminating the need for wire preparation. They are available with or without blown fuse—the blocks accept 5 x 20-mm fuses. The blocks also feature built-in test points, push-in jumpering slots, marking tags at each termination point, and a UL94 V-0 non-flammability rating. The 5-mm terminal blocks are rated for 300V, 10A and 22-16AWG, while the 6-mm blocks are rated for 300V, 10A and 24-14AWG (actual ratings will vary based on type of fuse used).
