Altech Corporation, a pioneer in industrial automation solutions, has added a new 85-A hinge-type DIN rail mountable ring lug terminal block, the STH5, which combines connection security with easy access.
In power distribution and other heavy-duty applications, vibrating machinery can cause connection failures and damage wires. To achieve a vibration-resistant connection with an STH5, an installer simply crimps the wire to a ring lug and fastens it to the terminal block’s flat current bar. Only a standard flathead screwdriver is needed to tighten the connection and keep it in place. The touch-proof terminals feature a flip-to-open plastic hinged cover that makes installation, inspection and maintenance fast and easy. When flipped open, the IP20 hinge shrouds the conductive parts to allow safe and fast wiring.
