    New PTKS 4 transformer terminals with time-saving push-in connection

    The connection technology expert CONTA-CLIP has introduced a new series of particularly easy-to-install terminal blocks with innovative push-in wire connection for fast, tool-free wiring of transformers. The PTKS 4 transformer terminals for 4-mm² cable cross-sections are suitable both for direct mounting on the coil body and for snapping onto 10 mm x 2 mm aluminum mounting rails. Wires are pushed into the terminals' connection channels from above for easy contacting with no further wiring effort. The high contact force of the spring ensures secure, durable fixation and contacting that withstands even severe vibrations and mechanical shocks. Wires are disconnected in seconds by pressing the built-in, insulated pusher. Featuring a two-part construction consisting of the base terminal with freely accessible solder hooks and a cover, the PTKS 4 terminals can also be easily soldered onto the coil wires using automatic soldering methods. CONTA-CLIP offers terminal covers in various colors, e. g., for marking different voltages. The new terminal series enables test tapping at any potential. The program includes the PQI 4/x/PTKS series of pluggable, isolated cross connectors with 2, 3 and 5 poles for potential distribution. In future, the manufacturer will complete the new product segment by adding PTKS 4/SI 5x20 and PTKS 4/SI 6.3x32 transformer fuse terminals for contacting the corresponding fine fuses in 5 mm x 20 mm or 6.3 mm x 32 mm formats. CONTA-CLIP's SB 7,5 standard marking system is available for marking the terminals.

    High-power stud terminals for safe energy transmission

    CONTA-CLIP’s HSKG stud terminals ensure secure connections for all energy-transmitting applications. The lineup comprises five terminal sizes for wire cross sections from 35 mm² to 300 mm². HSKG terminals can be installed as required on standard TS 35 DIN rails in accordance with EN 60715. They are suited for rated currents from 125 A to 520 A at rated voltages up to 1000 V. The terminals feature M6, M8, M10, M12, or M16 threaded studs, depending on the wire cross section. Conductors are applied to the studs with crimped cable lugs and then securely connected to the busbar with hex nuts. Each stud can hold two cable lugs. Combination one-piece washer and hex locknuts provide superior safety via conical spring force, contact strength, vibration resistance and maintenance-free connections ultimately eliminating retightening. A low voltage drop and self-extinguishing material with a V0 (UL94) flammability rating ensure maximum safety. Cross-connection rails for potential distribution are available as two or three-pole versions. Additionally, CONTA-CLIP provides accessories that facilitate installation and further safety features, for example ADH hinged covers with touch protection even while inserting a test probe and variable colors for identification. The ADH cover is easy to mount – it simply snaps into the side walls of the stud terminal as it is closed. ES 35/K/ST end stops grip both sides of the DIN rail with steel clamps, ensuring steady support for the terminal block construction. For optimal equipment identification, the stud terminals can be labeled with the CONTA-CLIP Pocket-Maxicard PMC marking system.

    Innovative transformer terminals with push-in connection

    CONTA-CLIP expands its range of transformer terminals, adding the innovative PTKS 4 series with push-in connection. Thanks to the tool-free push-in system for connecting rigid wires or wires with end ferrules, the PTKS 4 series simplifies wiring considerably and minimizes the time required. The high contact force of the push-in spring ensures secure fixation of the wire ends even in the event of strong vibrations and mechanical shocks. For convenience, the transformer terminals are terminated from the top, via an integrated pusher that can be operated with light pressure and without any special tools. The terminals are available in 1- or 2-pole versions for 4-mm˛ wire cross sections. 2- or 3-pole insulated plug-in cross connectors allow for easy potential and power distribution between terminals. Due to their two-part structure of basic clamp and cover, PTKS 4 terminals are well suited for automated soldering processes. After soldering the coil wire, the cover can easily be pushed onto the clamp. The transformer terminal covers can be marked using standard SB 7.5 markers from CONTA-CLIP.

    Slim GSM retrofit module for SMS fault messaging

    Many waterworks stations and agriculture applications use compact controllers for pump or ventilation systems, which are often installed in hard-to-reach or remote places. Inspection and maintenance is not feasible for these off-grid controllers and therefore can raise considerable personnel costs. For such scenarios, Germany-based connection technology specialist CONTA-CLIP now offers a particularly economical and easy-to-retrofit solution: the GSM-TMM modem converts all messages from the controller's fault output to text messages and automatically sends them to up to five recipients. The GSM-TMM module uses the mobile communications standards LTE-M or NB-IoT, ensuring cost-efficient and energy-saving operation. The compact device in a housing measuring only 40 mm x 65 mm x 110 mm is suitable for all controllers with a live interference output and is ready for use in just a few easy steps. For easy parameterization, the modem is connected via USB to a PC running at least Windows 10. During this process, the GSM-TMM does not require an extra power supply. Once a SIM card has been inserted, the modem and controller fault outputs can be powered via a 230 V AC, 12 V DC or 24 V AC/DC supply connected to the modem’s external screw terminals. The modem features a red/green LED on its front, which, through permanent or flashing lights, indicates operating states, text message dispatch, configuration errors and potential reception problems.
