Terminal Blocks Offer Tension Clamp Action

The firm's Z series of tension clamp terminal blocks now includes new products with higher current ratings and larger wire gauge connections. The ZDK-4 dual-level feedthrough block offers 33A rating and 26 to 10 AWG; the ZDK-6 dual-level feedthrough block offers 45A rating and 22 to 8 AWG; the ZDU-10 dual-level feedthrough block offers 60A and 16 to 6 AWG; the ZDU-16 dual-level feedthrough offers 65A rating and 14 to 4 AWG; the ZEI-16 dual-level feedthrough step-down block offers 65A and 14 to 4 AWG for power distribution to smaller blocks; and the ZPE-10 and ZPE-16 are ground blocks. These terminal blocks are for mounting on TS-35 rails with a top connection system to minimize wiring errors. They accept pluggable jumpers to reduce installation time by up to 40 percent, it's claimed.
