Wiring push-in connector

Notice

Do not wire when live.

Risk of defect.

  • Only connect the conductor when it is de-energized.
  • Only plug in the push-in connector when it is de-energized.

The push-in connectors X001, X002 and X003 are pluggable. X004 is firmly connected to the terminal.

All connections support push-in wiring. The wiring procedure depends on the type of conductor and connector selection:

Single wires

  1. Strip 10 mm of insulation from the end of the conductor.
  2. Insert the conductor into the push-in spring connection.

Stranded or fine-stranded conductors without ferrules

  1. Strip 10 mm of insulation from the end of the conductor.
  2. Press the latch with a screwdriver.
  3. Insert wire.
  4. Relieve latch.
Wiring push-in connector 1:

Stranded wire conductors and ferrules

Insert the wire end ferrule into the push-in spring connection.

The specified wire cross-sections refer to the technical properties of the push-in connectors. The selected cross-section must comply with the valid standard for the application in terms of minimum cross-section and electrical conductivity.

Possible conductor cross-sections depending on the type of cable:
