Quick and reliable pushbutton connections with Series 04 push-in terminals

EAO, the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces, is offering a new spring terminal connector technology for the popular Series 04 switches suitable for 22.5mm and 30.5mm mounting. The Series 04 PIT (push-in terminal), which features a spring terminal connection from Phoenix Contact, reduces assembly times by up to 70% compared to screw terminals. It offers reliable, vibration resistant connections without the need for any assembly tools. To achieve a secure connection, all that is required is to push the stripped solid conductor into the spring terminal which applies the correct pressure to maintain a secure connection over the lifetime of the switch. For stranded wire, either push-in using a bootlace ferrules, or open the clamp with a screwdriver for bare wire. Correctly fitted wires offer IP20 touch protection. The Series 04 has been extended to offer PIT on both the switch elements and the lamp blocks. The elements are stackable, providing the flexibility to use up to six contacts per switch. The Push In Terminals connect to any of the Series 04 actuators, including pushbuttons, selector switches, key lock switches and emergency-stops. Most of these products are available with LED illumination. Series 04 equipment offers front protection of IP65 and is rated 500VAC. The operating temperature is -25°C to 55°C. All products comply with international standards including CE, RoHS, CB – EN/IEC 60947-5-1, UL (pending for PIT), NFF 16-102, CSA, CCC, GOST, German Lloyd. EAO Series 04 PIT will benefit any application where fast and reliable assembly techniques are a top priority - especially with transportation, mechanical engineering and process automation
