The insulation displacement series stands out with its IDC rotary
connection. This concept saves considerable space in the con-
trol cabinet without impairing other quality features, such as
• Large surface marking,
• Maximum connection compartment,
• Flexible connecting combs.
Time savings of 60 % and more compared to other connection
systems.
With the high-speed insulation displacement terminal system,
there is no need to strip the insulation or protect the splice. Just
cut the cables to length and they can be contacted in seconds.
Conductors from 0.25 to 2.5 mm² are connected by the insula-
tion displacement contact. High-grade special alloys and latch-
ing of the switch states ensure reliable electrical connections at
all times. Large, spring-loaded contact points guarantee a cur-
rent load rating of 24 A.
When feeding in large cross-sections, the reducing comb en-
ables time and cost-saving distribution of the potential. The re-
ducing comb can be used to connect a 10 mm² spring-loaded
through-type terminal with an insulation displacement through-
type terminal for terminal size 1.5 mm² and two clamping points
or an insulation displacement through-type terminal for terminal
size 2.5 mm² and two clamping points.
