Wiring without Tools
Phoenix Contact’s PLC PT relays can be quickly and easily connected without specialized tools utilizing Push-In Technology – Ideal for High Vibration Applications because they have a reliable and long lasting connection
Phoenix Contact’s PLC PT relays are equipped with spring-cage, push-in-terminal technology. Terminations are made by simply pushing wire into the PT terminal, using very little force. This time-saving connection technology is enhanced even further with the use of a ferrule, making connections easy and reliable. To disconnect the wire, simply insert a screwdriver into the orange release key, push and release the wire. The push-in technology creates a high degree of usability and includes a wide range of connections; from 26 AWG to 14 AWG wire sizes.
Additional installation advantages can be gained by incorporating PLC PT relays into system cabling solutions. These relays are compatible with a wide range of accessories, including system cable adapters, feed terminals and plug-in bridges. Incorporating these accessories into your design can help create completely pluggable connections between the controller and the relays. Coupling these push-in terminations on the field side can also result in installations that require only a fraction of the assembly time, compared to conventional wiring methods.
