Connector 081321-*** 

The conductor rail connections are made with compact screw 
connectors. 
Depending on the conductor material of the conductor bar, the 
connectors have either a stopper (aluminum with stainless steel 
strip and CopperECO) or an inspection window (copper) to be able 

to check the functionally necessary gap of 2 to max. 3 mm at the 
rail ends.  
There are two insulating cap halves that are screwed together with 
two screws for protection against contact.  

Note/Tip:

 Aluminum-stainless steel and CopperECO conductor 

rails use the identical connector. A mixed installation of these two 
types of conductor rail is permitted.
