Double-deck terminal block, 870 Series, operating tool Our double-deck terminal block (item number 870-103) ensures effortless electrical installations. Conductors should only be connected to this double-deck terminal block if their strip length is between 6 and 7 mm . Pluggable rail-mount terminal blocks are mainly used in switchgear units and control systems (e.g., in railroad technology). They are essentially a combination of rail-mount terminal blocks and pluggable connectors. You can also pre-assemble installations thanks to the variable wiring system. This saves both time and money during manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance. The double-deck terminal block also serves as a through terminal block. Featuring conductor terminals along with CAGE CLAMP®, this connector delivers reliable performance. Our highly-rated and maintenance-free CAGE CLAMP® connection makes it easy to connect all conductor types without having to prepare the conductor. For example, you don't need to crimp ferrules. Depending on the conductor type, this double-deck terminal block is suitable for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm². This pluggable rail-mount terminal block is operated with an operating tool.
