Screw-type terminals
The devices with screw-type terminals have the following features:
• All the connections have captive screws.
• All the terminal points are delivered in the open position.
• The screwdriver guides allow screwdriving machines to be used.
• In frame size S00, all the terminal screws for the main and auxiliary cir-
cuits have a uniform screw size (cross-tip Pozidriv 2 screws) and therefore
all require the same torque.
• In all the frame sizes (S00 to S3), the terminal screws are identical for the
auxiliary conductor terminals (no bit change and uniform torque).
Cage Clamp terminals
In the variant with Cage Clamp terminals, the devices have the following
features:
• The contactors are recommended if strong shaking or vibrations can be
expected at the installation location.
• The terminals are also suitable for two-conductor connections
• All the terminals are accessible from the front and are easily visible.
• A maximum of two conductors with a cross-section of 0.25 mm

up to a
maximum 2.5 mm

can be used for each terminal point.

Procedure
The following illustration shows you how to use the Cage Clamp terminals:

Insulation stop
With a conductor cross-section of
≤
1 mm

, an insulation stop
(3RT1916-4JA02) must be used to hold the conductor insulation securely. An
insulation stop line consists of 5 pairs of connection terminals. The following
illustration demonstrates insertion into the Cage Clamp infeeds.
