65% reduction in labor – saving over seven hours per 1,000 terminal blocks installed

This innovative push-in connection technology offers dramatic time savings by creating wiring efficiency. The 1492-P Push-in terminal blocks provide improved wiring accuracy and reliability insuring a quality connection that requires no double checking.

When using an automated ferrule machine, installation can be up to 65 percent faster than screw-type terminal block connections –

a 26 second savings per terminal block. That’s a saving of over seven hours for every 1,000 terminal blocks connected. Not only is productivity vastly increased, but the resulting connections eliminate the vibration failure mode of screw terminals. The push-in connections significantly exceed UL pull-out standards.

Bulletin 1492-P Push-in terminal blocks offer panel builders, OEMs, and other high-volume users cost-savings – not only in the form of increased wiring speed, but also through eliminating connection adjustments and torque-checking of screws. They are available in a wide range of standard and application specific offerings, including a unique control power distribution terminal block.

(1)Available in grey as the standard color. To order other colors add a suffix to the catalog number. For example, the catalog number would be 1492-P3-B for a blue 1492-P3 terminal block.

(2)Grounding terminal blocks available in all sizes. To order a grouding terminal block add a “G” to the catalog number. For example, the catalog number would be 1492-PG4Q for a grounding version of 1492-P4Q.

(3)The “C” in the catalog number designates a commoning bar meaning the upper and lower circuits are connected.

(4)The 1492-PQ3 includes a single ground connection on the lowest level.
