Double-deck terminal block, 870 Series, operating tool This double-deck terminal block (item number 870-137) simplifies electrical installations. Ensure that the strip lengths are between 6 and 7 mm when connecting conductors to this double-deck terminal block. 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 functions as a ground terminal block. Featuring conductor terminals along with CAGE CLAMP®, this connector outperforms the competition. Our CAGE CLAMP® connection provides a proven 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. Depending on the type of conductor, this double-deck terminal block is designed for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm². An operating tool is used to operate this pluggable rail-mount terminal block.
