Elevated terminal plastic connection blocks
In electrothermal connection applications, especially in immersion heater connection boxes appear specific constraints: high ambient temperature, frequent thermal cycles, and confined space around the ends of the heating elements and their terminals, making difficult to the user to make connections.
These terminals have been developed to address these constraints.

Main features, identical for all types
Body: Glass-filled Polyamide 66, UL94V, GWFI 960°C, ambient temperature up to 150°C.
Terminals: M3, M3.5 or M4 screw terminals with captive elastic notched washer, resistant to loosening from vibration or thermal cycling. These terminals can receive bare wire, or tinned, or equipped with cable shoes, fork terminals or eyelet terminals. M3, M3.5 or M4 screw and the spring washer may be replaced by a 4.8×0.8 tab.
Voltage: 400V max.
Wire gauge: Each terminal accepts on each side two conductors from 0.5mm² to 2.5mm².
Maximum rating per terminal: 24 Amp. Corresponding to 17°C self-heating in free air of the terminal. (Upon IEC60947-7)
Mounting: M3 screws or ST3.5 self-tapping screws

This connection block was developed to be superimposed on existing terminals of thermostats with enclosure, of Y0A Y0B, Y0D series and any Y2 series. It allows to add 3 interconnected terminals to one of the terminals located below, on which it is connected by a jumper. Particularly useful for connecting neutral when several neutral wires arrive in the enclosure. |

Technical introduction of connection blocks made in ceramic and polyamide
Ceramic was the first insulating material used in the electrical connection terminals. Mechanically resistant, exceptionally fire resistant, excellent electrical insulator, it had all the qualifications. Produced from locally available raw materials, ceramic and porcelain glazed electro-technical parts were essential in the beginnings of electricity until the appearance of Bakelite in the 1930s, then of engineered thermoplastics to 1960.
