Connection technologies for our plugs and sockets
Our plugs and sockets are equipped with different connection technologies for easy, safe and time-saving installation. Here you will find an overview of our user-friendly connection technologies ErgoCONTACT, SafeCONTACT, TwinCONTACT and screw contact.
With ErgoCONTACT, the screwdriver is applied straight rather than from the side - this makes it easier to achieve the required torque and the screwdriving pressure is aimed directly into the handle. All screws point in the same direction. This means you no longer have to turn the front part in your hand to tighten the contact screws of the individual poles one after the other - and you save time.
Curved conductor guide channels guide the conductor ends easily and safely into the contacts.
The screw path is additionally supported by a guide collar - which prevents slipping and minimises the risk of injury.
Only one screw needs to be used per contact - a captive combination head screw that is permanently integrated into the guide collar ex works and can be operated with a Phillips or slotted screwdriver. The fact that only one screw needs to be used per contact simplifies installation and saves you time during assembly.
Insert the conductor without stripping, lever down the terminals with a screwdriver - done!
In a single operation, the insulation is separated by levering down and a secure contact connection is established.
The stripped conductors are simply inserted - they can be used with or without ferrules.
Two contact screws ensure that the ladder is held securely in place. These are tightened crosswise and hold the ladder in position for the long term.
