Feeds and connectors are effectively

the terminal block that provides power

to the track. There are six ‘feedable’

connectors: initial and central feed,

plus the ‘T’, ‘L’, ‘X’ and flex connectors.

You cannot ‘feed’ into the straight

connector and coupler.

The internal wiring design allows

for easy ‘feed in’, because the

connecting wires are soldered to the

side of the screw grub.

As mentioned the straight connector

and coupler are not ‘feedable’.

Although similar in design they

perform different functions. The straight

connector has electrical contacts

whereas the coupler doesn’t, it merely

mechanically connects two tracks

together. Both items connect track units

without a gap.

If a coupler is used then the following

section of track must have its own live

feed for electrical connection purposes.

For example where the maximum

electrical load is exceeded or where

luminaries are required to be switched/

dimmed with a different circuit.
