CONTA-CLIP provides all necessary tools for customizing its UL- and VDE-certified VK series cabling ducts. The VK-S cutter allows for shortening up to 125 mm wide standard or halogen-free cabling ducts to the required length. Cuts are clean, without burrs, and with the exact required angle. This tool can be installed at a workbench. VK-AKZ notching pliers are made for breaking out sections of the side walls cleanly and completely all the way down to the base of the cabling duct. Expanding rivets can be processed safely and quickly using the SN-SW setting tool. Featuring a long shaft, it facilitates setting rivets in deep channels or in other difficult-to-access positions. CONTA-CLIP supplies VK cabling ducts with a length of two meters. These ducts made of rigid PVC are notable for their excellent form stability. They feature tight-fitting covers that nevertheless allow for very easy detachment and reattachment. The material is lead-free, flame-retardant, and self-extinguishing according to UL 94 V-0. CONTA-CLIP also provides cabling ducts in accordance with VDE 0472 part 815 for use in public buildings. These are manufactured from halogen-free plastic that does not release toxic gases in case of a fire. Moreover, this material meets the F2 and I3 requirements of the NF F 16-101 railway standards. CONTA-CLIP also supplies miscellaneous accessories such as flexible cabling ducts, coiled tubing, wire holders, support lugs, and expanding rivets.

CONTA-CLIP now offers a combination of a hydraulic hand pump and sheet-metal punching tool. Users can thereby produce break-outs in control cabinets for KDSClick, KDS-FB, KDS-KV, and KES cable entries within a few minutes. The hydraulic hand pump contains no hose and features a user-friendly, compact design. It weighs only 2 kg. The hydraulic cylinder can be rotated and swiveled by 360° along three axes, allowing for flexible use even in hard-to-reach places. The punching tool includes round hole punchers for all diameters from M20 to M63 for KDS-KV separable cable glands and square and rectangular hole punchers for all KDSClick, KDS-FB, and KES cable entries as well as for 110 by 131 mm KDS-FP flange plates. In order to create a break-out in a sheet-metal enclosure, the hydraulically operated draw bolt is inserted in a bore hole. Next, stamp and matrix are fixed with counter nuts both on the inside and outside. When operated, the draw bolt pulls stamp and matrix towards each other, producing the opening in the required size. The built-in punch-hole marking tip can be used to clearly punch-mark the drill points for screw-on attachment of the cable entry. Stamps are available for 3 mm sheet steel and 2 mm stainless steel.

CONTA-CLIP further enhances its range of usability aids for VK cabling ducts, adding fast-mount wire holders. The wire holders can be clipped into the cabling ducts without tools. They make it easier to neatly arrange conductors and keep signal and power lines clearly apart. They also simplify adding new wiring, since existing cables stay put and do not come lose and entangled when the cover is removed. Last but not least, users will find it easier to clean their well-organized cabling duct of dust. The wire holders are available in two versions. The DHG type holder has closed spring brackets – cables can be pushed in from above. It comes in three sizes: 34 x 35 mm, 34 x 53 mm and 53 x 75 mm. The DHGB holder, on the other hand, is a small clip that securely holds cable ties of any size. The wire holders are made of RoHS compliant PC and PA. They are suitable for ambient temperatures from -20 °C to +60 °C.

CONTA-CLIP adds a transformer terminal for wire cross-sections up to 16 qmm to its TKS series. The terminals are used to adapt coil ends to screw connections to implement power supply of specific devices or machinery in a larger system. Their hinged cover elements open wide and can be fixed in place when opened to enable comfortable, time-saving soldering of the coil ends. The new, two-pole TKS 16 terminal like all terminals from this series can be mounted directly on a core with integrated receptacles or on aluminum 10 x 2 mm DIN rails. The proven clamping yoke system accomplishes a secure, vibration-resistant connection. The closed housing design ensures touch safety in compliance with DGUV provision 3. The terminals are available in orange or gray polyamide PA 6.6 UL94 V-0. The PMC SB 7,5 and PC-SB 7,5 quick marking systems are available for labeling the terminals.

CONTA-CLIP expands its range of single-level push-in installation terminals, adding the FNT 16 neutral disconnect terminal for wire cross sections between 2.5 qmm and 25 qmm (up to 16 qmm with wire-end ferrules). The push-in connection system allows for safe connection of wires without tools. When a solid wire or ferrule is inserted, the pressure spring opens automatically and establishes a secure contact. Standard screwdrivers can be used to connect and disconnect flexible wires without ferrules. The disconnect terminal integrates a receptacle for the 10x3-mm neutral busbar. There is no need for an additional fixing plate. The neutral busbar is securely connected via a screw-less slider. Like FRKI feed-through terminals and FSLI PE terminals, the neutral disconnect terminals can be used alongside FDLIS three-level installation terminals, because the position of the neutral busbar is identical in both versions.

CONTA-CLIP continuously expands the KDS-FB flat ribbon cable entry system. The portfolio currently comprises a total of 13 cable entries with four frame widths and various divisions for flat and round cables. The latest addition is a pre-configured cable entry with five sealing elements to accommodate round cables. The new variant has a 39 mm x 120 mm frame size. Like all KDSClick cable management solutions, the KDS-FB line is based on a few basic components designed for tool-less assembly and tool-less placement into a frame. Once the one-piece frame is screwed on the opening from outside the enclosure or distribution cabinet, flat or round cables fitted with suitable sealing elements can simply be pushed in from the inside for a snug insertion into the frame slots. TPE gaskets are molded directly into the frames to ensure high, IP66-rated ingress protection. Sealing elements with gills all around ensure an absolutely tight fit and reliable ingress protection. The gaskets for flat cable entries additionally feature gills in the cable openings. Sealing elements are available for all common industrial cable sizes. KDS-FB thus allows manufacturers to pre-configure machine housings or cabinets for later wiring with no need for advance detailed knowledge of specific end-user requirements. The sealing elements for different cable diameters all have uniform sizes. Due to the easy, tool-less exchange of the sealing elements, the cabling can therefore be changed at any time.
