IDC type terminal blocks
The product family of IDC type terminal blocks consists of terminal blocks based on the principle of insulation displacement technology. By insulation displacement, we mean an electrical connection that is created by the cutting the insulation of the individual conductor inside the terminal block with a knife contact. It is suitable for solid and stranded copper wires and allows direct clamping without pre-treatment of the conductor. The insulation material has to be PVC or another material with properties that harmonize with the cut and clamp action. That means complete displacement of the insulation material by the inner knife flanks should be possible without damaging the conductor. In addition the insulation sleeve of stranded conductors has to be able to keep the single wires in place so that they are not displaced during the termination process.
Color options
You can order the terminal blocks in a variety of sizes and also often vary the colors within a terminal block, if required. This is for instance helpful in housing integration to achieve an optically attractive overall picture and to us this as a coding option. We would be pleased to advise you on the possible combinations.
