Phoenix Contact: New XT 2.5 Terminal Blocks

June 17, 2024

The new XT 2.5 terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are the first to feature a front Push-X connection, allowing fast and easy wiring.

The XT 2.5 portfolio includes feed-through and multi-conductor terminal blocks as well as function versions for using disconnect knives, plug-in fuses, and components.

With Push-X technology, solid, stranded, or ferruled conductors and cross-sections can now be connected even faster, either manually or automatically. As one of the fastest connection technologies on the market, Push-X technology increases the efficiency of control cabinet wiring. The factory-opened clamping space further reduces installation time.

Direct wiring is carried out tool-free and without significant effort due to a pretensioned contact spring. Lightly tapping the release surface inside the clamping chamber sets off the contact spring, and the conductor is contacted safely and permanently. The force-guided actuating element and the acoustic click sound ensure a secure connection when the spring is released. Pressing the orange button frees the connected conductors, similar to Phoenix Contact’s popular Push-in Technology. At the same time, the contact spring is pretensioned for the next wiring process.

All Push-X terminal blocks are fully compatible with the standard Clipline complete terminal block system.
