This innovative push-in connection technology oers dramatic time
savings by creating wiring eciency. 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 signicantly
exceed UL pull-out standards.
65% reduction in labor –
saving over seven hours per
1,000 terminal blocks installed
Bulletin 1492-P Push-in terminal blocks oer 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 specic oerings, including a unique control power
distribution terminal block.
