Each of the 4-position PCB terminal blocks have been designed especially for the connection of twisted pair cables with cross-sections of
0.14 to 4mm². The conductors are connected via spring- or screw connection technology. Printed or colour-coded connection points allow easy assignment
of the conductors. With horizontal, vertical, and angled conductor connection directions, the PCB terminal blocks are suitable for a variety of device
designs.

All versions satisfy the requirements of the Profinet directive, Rev. 05/2017, and are therefore suitable for secure CAT5 data transmission
in accordance with EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801. Some versions are also certified for use in potentially explosive areas in accordance with IEC 60079-7.
