Saving time with tool-free wiring
Push-X terminal blocks have also been tested extensively by Phoenix Contact. Despite the low insertion force required to engage the spring, the design resists accidental triggering. Drop tests and simulated shipping conditions confirm that the mechanism won’t prematurely activate from vibration or impact. The XTV series handles up to 76 A at 1000 V (IEC) and 75 A at 1000 V (UL). It is also compatible with Phoenix Contact’s broader CLIPLINE complete terminal block system, allowing integrators to use common accessories such as bridges and switching jumpers across multiple product lines. Applications of Push-X Technology Push-X terminal blocks are designed for a range of control and distribution tasks across industries. In factory and building automation, they help simplify dense wiring inside control panels and distribution boxes. The tool-free connection method is useful in settings where space is limited and installation times are tight, such as during equipment upgrades or panel retrofits. Process industries like water treatment and food production often involve environments with vibration or regular maintenance
In its factory setting, the pusher is depressed. The orange pusher pops up when the contact spring engages a conductor. (Image courtesy: Phoenix Contact.)
