Through terminal block, 280 Series, operating tool This through terminal block (item number 280-601) streamlines wire connections, making them both quick and easy. Strip lengths must be between 8 and 9 mm when connecting conductors to this through terminal block. Whether in industrial or building applications, our rail-mount through terminal blocks are the perfect solution to quickly and securely connect electrical conductors. Depending on the model, you can use them for either typical through-wiring or potential distribution. This product features conductor terminals and utilizes CAGE CLAMP®. Our CAGE CLAMP® connection offers a safe and maintenance-free way to connect all types of conductors. You do not need to prepare the conductor in any way, such as crimping ferrules. This through terminal block is suitable for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm². This through rail-mount terminal block is operated with an operating tool.
