The tool-less push-in connection is a perfect example of the ease of use as well as time and cost savings Conta-Clip is known for. The integrated pusher for quickly releasing inserted wires requires only light pressure and no special tools, yet provides high contact force for the push-in spring. The push-in spring for the conductor connection is held securely by the busbar. Accidental insertion of conductors in the wrong channel is ruled out by the clear separation of insertion channels and pushers, thus ensuring correct connection and reliable contacting. The completely new internal layout with large contact surfaces and fixed metal parts ensures high current-carrying capacity with low temperature rise, mechanical robustness and an absolutely secure fit of the compact terminals on the mounting rail. All potentials have a test point for easy measurement. In detail The protective earth terminals have screwless clip-on foot contacts on both sides to ensure maximum electrical and mechanical reliability. In addition, Conta-Clip offers the plug-in cross-connection system PQI for quick and convenient potential distribution. In the case of the standard terminals with nominal cross-sections between 1.5 mm² and 10 mm², two potentials can also be routed within the two cross-connection channels. The group 1 insulating materials are all made of polyamide PA 6.6 and free of harmful substances such as halogen or phosphorus. They meet the fire classification “V-0 self-extinguishing” according to UL 94, have a tracking resistance above CTI 600 and are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C.

Quick, simple and reliable – the tool-less PRK push-in connection system not only saves time in control cabinet wiring, but also enables high packing density thanks to two-, three- and four-wire versions. But enough is never enough, and Conta-Clip has recently expanded its range of feed-through and protective earth terminals, adding PRK 16 and PSL 16 variants to meet the demand. The terminals make wiring comfortable, featuring enlarged insertion channels that point upwards. While contacting requires minimal mating force, connections withstand strong vibrations and shocks. Clamping points are worked via insulated pushers. Push-in terminal blocks Conta-Clip’s terminal block ranges with push-in connection include various kinds of feed-through, protective earth conductor, disconnect, fuse, multi-level, installation and initiator terminals for conductor cross sections from 1.5 mm² to 16 mm². The comprehensive PRK range offers various design improvements compared to conventional push-in terminals and meets the highest standards of easy handling and mechanical stability. The push-in connection allows for safe, tool-less insertion of rigid wires or wires with ferrules and significantly reduces the time spent on wiring.

Time is money – the versatile KES-R M cable entry system from Conta-Clip saves valuable installation time, allowing for control cabinets and enclosures to be equipped in seconds. The sealing membrane is simply pierced with a screwdriver at one of the marked centering points; then, 1.5 mm to 22.2 mm wide pneumatic tubes and electric cables without plugs are inserted. This enables much higher packing density than conventional cable glands. The KES-R M system with the distinctive dodecagonal design is mounted without tools in standardized metric openings from M25 to M63. It ensures reliable sealing up to IP54. To achieve IP66 protection and for enclosure walls thicker than 2.5 mm, the entries can also be screwed tight with a lock nut. The silicone- and halogen-free material mix of TPE and fiberglass reinforced polyamide 6.6 ensures tightness and stability. The KES-R M range includes 16 different variants in the sizes M25, M32, M40, M50 and M63. Versatile cable entry family KES cable entry systems from Conta-Clip enable fast, tool-less and reliable routing of non-assembled electric cables and pneumatic tubes into control cabinets or housings. Various different designs for up to 68 cables increase installation efficiency. Round, rectangular and FDA-compliant cable entries are available.
