Wiring
WARNINGBring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the bus terminals!
Terminals for standard wiring ELxxxx/KLxxxx and for pluggable wiring ESxxxx/KSxxxx
Up to eight terminal points enable the connection of solid or finely stranded cables to the bus terminal. The terminal points are implemented in spring force technology. Connect the cables as follows:
- Open a terminal point by pushing a screwdriver straight against the stop into the square opening above the terminal point. Do not turn the screwdriver or move it alternately (don't toggle).
- The wire can now be inserted into the round terminal opening without any force.
- The terminal point closes automatically when the pressure is released, holding the wire securely and permanently.
See the following table for the suitable wire size width.
Terminal housing | ELxxxx, KLxxxx | ESxxxx, KSxxxx |
Wire size width (single core wires) | 0.08 ... 2.5 mm2 | 0.08 ... 2.5 mm2 |
Wire size width (fine-wire conductors) | 0.08 ... 2.5 mm2 | 0.08 ... 2.5 mm2 |
Wire size width (conductors with a wire end sleeve) | 0.14 ... 1.5 mm2 | 0.14 ... 1.5 mm2 |
Wire stripping length | 8 ... 9 mm | 9 ... 10 mm |
High Density Terminals (HD Terminals) with 16 terminal points
The conductors of the HD Terminals are connected without tools for single-wire conductors using the direct plug-in technique, i.e. after stripping the wire is simply plugged into the terminal point. The cables are released, as usual, using the contact release with the aid of a screwdriver. See the following table for the suitable wire size width.
Terminal housing | High Density Housing |
Wire size width (single core wires) | 0.08 ... 1.5 mm2 |
Wire size width (fine-wire conductors) | 0.25 ... 1.5 mm2 |
Wire size width (conductors with a wire end sleeve) | 0.14 ... 0.75 mm2 |
Wire size width (ultrasonically “bonded" conductors) | only 1.5 mm2 (see notice) |
Wire stripping length | 8 ... 9 mm |
