The new XTV terminal blocks are the first
product on the market to incorporate Phoenix Contact's breakthrough

conductors with cross sections extending from 6mm2 to
16mm2 quickly, easily, reliably, and almost
effortlessly.
FORT
WORTH, Texas, Jan. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Allied Electronics &
Automation, a trading brand of RS Group plc (LSE: RS1), a global
omni-channel provider of product and service solutions, is proud to
offer Phoenix Contact's new XTV terminal blocks with Push-X
connection technology. The new XTV terminal blocks are the first
products on the market to incorporate Phoenix Contact's
breakthrough Push-X direct connection technology, which enables
easy, flexible, and virtually tool-free wiring and rewiring with
minimal force, reduces installation times for all conductor types
and cross sections, and paves the way for automated wiring.
Phoenix Contact's Push-X direct connection
technology paves the way for automated wiring in industrial
applications.
Push-X connection technology features an extremely efficient
design with a pretensioned contact spring that supports the
connection of stripped rigid and flexible conductors with or
without ferrules. The contact spring is designed to be triggered
when even the smallest flexible conductors just lightly tap the
release surface inside the clamping chamber. Once triggered, the
contact spring establishes a safe, effortless, and durable
connection with the conductor. To release a connected conductor,
users simply press the orange force-guided pusher. When it reaches
its end position, a locking mechanism on the leg spring snaps back
into the pusher notch and pretensions the contact spring for
rewiring. The depressed position of the pusher indicates that the
clamping chamber is open for mating. When it's flush with the
terminal, the clamping chamber is closed.
"Push-X technology is an innovative milestone in Push-in
connection technology," said Klaus Firschke, Senior Director of
Development & Product Marketing – Industrial Cabinet
Connectivity at Phoenix Contact. "Push-X connection technology
can accommodate all types of conductors with direct wiring without
the need for tools or force, making it one of the fastest, most
flexible, and most efficient connection technologies on the market.
I am firmly convinced that this connection technology will be the
way forward for the entire industry and that our new XTV terminal
blocks with Push-X technology will enable impressive new
efficiencies in a wide range of industrial applications."
Phoenix Contact's new XTV terminal blocks with innovative Push-X
connection technology have a space-saving form factor that allows
users to connect conductors with cross sections extending from 6mm²
to 16mm² quickly, easily, reliably, and almost effortlessly. The
lateral conductor connection of the terminal blocks minimizes the
bending radii and supports visible wiring, which is especially
advantageous when combined with wire markings.
The XTV terminal block family currently consists of feedthrough,
multiconductor, and grounding (PE) terminal blocks with
6mm2, 10mm2, and 16mm² cross
sections and features the first QR codes integrated into Phoenix
Contact's product labeling. Scanning the QR code provides customers
with direct access to all the up-to-date information and relevant
services and support they may need to quickly and effectively
deploy and continuously operate the terminal blocks.
In addition, XTV terminal blocks with integrated Push-X
technology are part of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system.
This means they're fully compatible with other terminal blocks in
the system, including the PTV and PTPOWER lateral spring-cage
terminal families with well-established Push-in connection
technology, and can be used with standardized accessories.
