Our latest press releases

The new, easy-to-use 360° crimp tools from Conta-Clip provide precise and safe crimping of wire-end ferrules according to DIN 46228 up to 16 mm˛ conductor cross-section. The PZD 16/R and PZU 16/R crimping pliers are supplied with a square or trapezoidal crimp insert, respectively. The inserts can be exchanged quickly without tools, and above all, they can be adjusted by 360° in 45° increments. This allows users to adapt them to their preferred posture and work comfortably even in hard-to-reach places. One tool is sufficient for ferrules with and without insulating collars, up to 18 mm in length, with cross-sections from 0.08 mm˛ to 16.0 mm˛ and also for twin sleeves from 2 x 0.25 mm˛ to 2 x 10.0 mm˛. The crimp is automatically adapted to the conductor cross-section. The crimp tools are durable, ergonomic and designed for fatigue-free work: they are compact, lightweight, handy and self-opening via an internal spring. They have soft handles with molded slip protection. Crimping requires minimal effort. An unlockable forced lock ensures work safety. The crimp tools are made of high-strength special steel, with a special coating for the most stressed parts.

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-mm˛ 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.

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.

CONTA-CLIP, a specialist in connection technology and one of Europe’s leading terminal block manufacturers, offers a range of terminals that is unique on the market in terms of comprehensiveness and advanced design. The highly differentiated lineup provides wiring and connection solutions for every requirement and includes several terminal series with all connection types: screw, bolt-on, tension spring and push-in connection. The SRK series features screw-connection terminal blocks in single and double-tier versions for wire cross sections from 0.08 mm² to 240 mm², including protective conductor terminals and various functional variants for fuse, test and measurement purposes. HSKG-type high-current bolt-on terminals are designed for energy transmission applications over 296 A. They provide current-carrying capacities of up to 520 A and rated voltages of up to 1000 V. HSKG terminals are available with combination washer and hex-nut bolt sizes between M6 and M16 for wires from 2.5 mm² to 300 mm². Hinged contact covers and terminal feet that grip the mounting rail from both sides ensure high safety and a secure hold. The terminal range with tension spring connection for wire cross sections from 0.2 mm² to 16 mm² comprises ZRK/ZSL feed-through and PE terminals in single and double-tier versions, ZIKD three-tier terminals as well as motor-connection, disconnect, fused, direct-mount and initiator/actuator terminals for position, encoder and alert signaling. For particularly time-saving and convenient wiring via push-in connection, CONTA-CLIP offers the FRK series as well as the new PRK series, which is currently one of the most advanced push-in terminal series on the market. The PRK series provides large diversity and particularly easy handling due to enlarged insertion channels, minimized engaging forces and integrated pushers. PRK terminals extremely space-saving due to their tall design with vertical wire insertion from above, which allows installation at a minimum distance to the wiring channels and thus very compact installations. The PRK and FRK push-in series are currently available for conductor cross sections from 0.2 mm² to 25 mm², with feed-through, PE, disconnect, fused multi-tier, installation and initiator terminals. “Our terminal block portfolio for all relevant connection options is designed for broad compatibility, so it meets all technical and individual requirements of our customers,” says Jörg Nowastowski-Stock, Managing Director Sales and Marketing at CONTA-CLIP. “Each connection type offers specific application-related advantages. In addition, our portfolio also takes into account differing preferences from user to user. Thus, we cover all needs, so our customers will find any connection solutions they are looking for.”
