Product Description

The X20TB12/PL3 push-in terminal block from B&R Automation is a versatile solution for establishing reliable field wiring terminations in a variety of industrial applications. Featuring 12 push-in style spring-clamp terminals, it simplifies connecting a wide range of commonly encountered solid and stranded copper conductors. The push-in design engages wires with a typical force of 10N, firmly securing connections without risk of loosening over time.

Push-in terminals on the block accommodate both fine stranded and solid wire gauges from 28 to 14 AWG, or 0.08 to 2.5mm^2 in cross-section. End sleeves are provided to bootstrap finer conductors for a consistent interface. Single conductors or twin conductors with a combined cross-section up to 2.5mm^2 can each be terminated. Wires should be stripped 7-9mm for proper insertion. Rated at 240VAC or 48VDC, it is well-suited for both low and line voltage applications.

Compact in size yet built with rugged components, the X20TB12/PL3 withstands vibration and temperature fluctuations seen in industrial environments. Mounting on a DIN rail assists organization within cramped control cabinets and junction boxes. Standardized across the X20 platform, the terminal block integrates seamlessly into varied machine topologies involving distributed, compact, or modular control architectures. Programming and commissioning leverage compatible development tools and software without special expertise. All terminations are clearly numbered to avoid wiring errors. Detailed documentation and technical support during project stages ease integration. Stocking a range of combinations mitigates unforeseen requirements that can impact schedules.
