Rockwell Automation introduced a new family of terminal blocks to help improve wiring efficiency and the quality of connections. The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1492-P series push-in terminal blocks are designed to offer more reliable connections, increased time savings and less operator maintenance for an improved wiring environment.
In the past, spring-clamp, screw terminal blocks with unsecured wires left potential for loose connections. The new, vibration-proof terminal blocks feature a clamp to secure loose wiring and achieve a safer connection point with added space-saving benefits. The front facing terminals provide an easier sight line and access for wiring when compared to traditional screw-clamp terminal blocks.
The plastic actuator feature is designed to help mitigate potential shock hazards with a finger-safe design, which helps to eliminate access to live metal components. The new control power distribution and signal/sensor application-specific terminal blocks offer color-coded plastic actuators, which provide the customer visual indicators for proper wiring inside the electrical panel. Every 1492-P series push-in terminal block offers a built-in test port, which allows users to more easily monitor meter voltage and current. With many factories operating at different power levels throughout the plant, the test point verifies that each terminal is operating with the appropriate voltage, helping to mitigate the need to manually insert probes.
The push-in terminal blocks can also be used with wiring ferrules to help further improve efficiency and the quality of the connections. In addition, twin-ferrule options are available for using two wires per connection. The Bulletin 1492-P series has been tested and approved for use with Panduit ferrules, a Strategic Alliance Partner within the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork program.
