elmex "C" series (TS32 mm) DIN Rail Mounted Feed Through Terminals in Melamine offers the complete range suitable for all control and power applications. The proven screw-calmp design offers high contact force and is easy to use. The range covers terminals for conductor sizes from 0.5 sq mm to 185 mm.

Vibrations adversely affect terminal connection, causing loosening of conductors and consequent overheating of terminal blocks. elmex Terminal Blocks are therefore designed to be inherently resistant to vibrations in normal applications. However, high vibrations can arise due to vibration affected installation sites, such as installations in and around mines, proximity to heavy machine shop,forging/ die casting shops, cement/steel plants machinery, textile machines and so on. Special designs for high vibration applications are also preferred in some Power Projects, Power Distribution Centers, Motor Control Centers and Relay Control Panels. depending on proximity of vibration generating equipment. elmex Standard Screw Clamp design, with compression springs, provided under the clamp, offer a reliable solution for high vibration applications of Terminal Blocks. These are called "SPRING LOADED" terminal blocks. FEED THROUGH TYPE: CST 2.5WS, CST 6WS, CSLT 1 The spring is assembled under compression, so that it engages firmly with the contact clamp. For inserting the conductor, clamping screws should be unscrewed and pressed, which results into pushing down the contact clamp against spring action and creates space for conductor insertion below the current bar. When the screw is tightened with specified tightening torque,the clamping part moves to cause gripping of conductor with current bar, as with normal clamping process, but in case of spring loaded design, the conductor is gripped with additional clamping force exerted by the compression spring from below the clamping part. Special design of the current bar with a recess is available to anchor the hook bladed cable lug, in the current bar. This provision creates conductor locking within terminal block once it is clamped, so that it cannot be pulled out accidentally. This design is presently available in CSLT 1.

elmex "C" Series (TS32 mm) DIN Rail Mounted Stud Type Terminals in Melamine Housing are specifically developed for termination using Ring / Fork Type Lugs and provide a very reliable connection against vibration. They are available in two types : 1) Screw driver operated 2) Nut driver operated The range covers terminals for conductor sizes from 0.5 sq mm to 35 sq mm. All the metal parts used are of brass (copper alloy) which make them suitable for use in applications like switch boards, switch yards, marshaling racks etc., generally exposed to environmental extremities. Transparent protective covers are used for shrouding live parts in the terminals.

Certain Application in Control and Mesearurement circuits necessiate locating operating faults quickly without disconnecting the conductors. elmex offers a range of disconnecting type terminal blocks which can be used to disconnect the continuity without actually removing the wires. Thee Terminal Blocks mainly find applications in secondary Circuit of CT, Relay Panels etc. A clearly visible Sliding Link is used for disconnection. The link can be moved to one side by unscrewing. The tightening of the screw prevents it from sliding back. The 4 mm diameter nut assembly can be used as test socket.

Power (Bus-Bar) Terminals Type CBT 110, 170, 250 and 300 with rated currents of 110, 170, 250 and 300 Amps suitable for cables with Ring / Fork type lugs are available in Melamine Housing. The lugs are bolted to the current bars using standard spanners in types CBT110T upto 300T, the current bar is tapped and the fixing bolt has slotted head, which allows use of screw-driver for bolting. This is useful where space is a constraint. The Melamine Terminals are available for terminating 35 sq mm to 95 sq mm cables. Partition / Barrier Plates are used for increased Creepage Distance between adjacent terminals. Slots are provided in the Barrier Plates to facilitate the mounting of Transparent Protective Cover shrouding the live parts. Protection and Safety For increased creepage distance and safety against accidental contact, partition plates / barrier plates are assembled along with the terminal block. Protective transparent covers are assembled at the slots provided on the barrier plates. This provisions make the assembly fully safe, while simultaneously offering open design of terminals for connection fork / ring lugged cables.

This special TS32 mm Rail Mounted Melamine Terminal facilitates quick connections and disconnections between the machine and the control panel, and is also suitable for semi draw-out type machine control centres. A screw driver operated knob provided on the top provides the required locking and detachment facilities between the plug and socket. Screw connections fitted with leaf springs for the incoming and outgoing conductors are provided to obviate pinching of the conductors. An additional non-relaxing spring which carries no electrical loads ensures a permanent high contact pressure with low contact resistance.

Certain Application in Control and Measurement circuits necessitate locating operating faults quickly without disconnecting the conductors. elmex offers a range of disconnecting type terminal blocks which can be used to disconnect the continuity without actually removing the wires.

While standard Screw Clamp or Spring Clamp terminal blocks are designed for direct connection of conductors, (solid, stranded, flexible), simply after stripping the insulation, there are other wiring practices and applications where conductors have to be provided with ring type or fork types lugs, for more secured connections. elmex has developed a whole range of Stud type terminal blocks with connection possibility from 0.5 sq mm to 35 sq mm, which accept ring/fork type lugged cables. These are available in both Polyamide 6.6 and in Melamine Housings. F For stud Type terminals KBT, standard nuts are provided on the studs (nut driver operated) for securing the lugged conductors. These Stud Type terminals are used with protective transparent covers, which enclose the live parts, as protection against accidental contact. Such covers can be provided from a stack of stud terminals. All the metal parts used are of brass (copper alloy) which make them suitable for use in applications like switch boards, switch yards, marshaling racks etc., generally exposed to environmental extremities.

These are available in both Polyamide 6.6 and in Melamine Housings. For Stud Type terminal CABT M4, studs have special long nuts, with a slot at the top, so that the nuts can be operated using screw-drivers as well using nut-drivers.
