Wiring
Up to eight or sixteen connections enable the connection of solid or finely stranded cables to the Bus
Terminals. The terminals are implemented in spring force technology. Connect the cables as follows:
1. Open a spring-loaded terminal by slightly pushing with a screwdriver or a rod into the
square opening above the terminal.
2. The wire can now be inserted into the round terminal opening without any force.
3. The terminal closes automatically when the pressure is released, holding the wire safely
and permanently.
High-density terminals (HD terminals)
The Bus Terminals from the ELx8xx/KLx8xx series, as well as the EK1914
with 16 connection points, are distinguished by a particularly compact
design, since the packing density is twice as large as that of the standard
Bus Terminals. Solid conductors and conductors with a wire end sleeve
can be inserted directly into the spring loaded terminal point without tools.
Note
Ultrasonically "bonded" (ultrasonically welded) conductors
It is also possible to connect the Standard and High Density Terminals with ultrasonically
"bonded" (ultrasonically welded) conductors.
Please observe the tables concerning the wire cross section below!
