Versatility, quality and reliability
Eaton’s robust line of XB IEC terminal blocks are designed for prolonged life under harsh conditions. This comprehensive portfolio comes complete with universal accessories across three connection technologies – screw, spring cage and insulation displacement connection (IDC) – reducing inventory and logistic costs. With space savings in mind, the terminal blocks are small, adjustable and provide maximum flexibility and easy installation.
XB screw type terminal blocks, catalog prefix XBUT, fit most applications. The technology features a multi-conductor connection and maximum contact forces. The style combines the advantages of a screw connection system with the benefit of spring-loaded contacts. The snap-fit ground (PE) terminal block and standard plug-in bridges allow for critical time savings when assembling terminal strips.
Featuring a smaller spring technology, the spring cage terminal style saves significant space without giving up large surface marking and generous wire entrance, as well as its flexible push-in bridging system. XB spring cage terminal blocks are available for rated conductor cross sections of 1.5–35 mm2.
Designed for critical time-saving applications. Connect the conductor without having to strip it first—amounting to up to a 60% time savings. With the insulation displacement contact, this style of terminal block ensures a reliable electrical connection with a simple, audible click.
The IDC style of XB terminal blocks is also available in a hybrid version, with the fast, time-saving IDC connection for wiring in the control cabinet and screw terminals for field wiring of the conductors that come from outside. The hybrid version allows you to profit from the fast IDC connection and still offer your customers their preferred connection system.
