<h2>Through terminal block, 280 Series, CAGE CLAMP®</h2><br/><br/>This through terminal block (item number 280-996) is designed to connect conductors quickly and easily. Conductors can only be connected to this through terminal block if their strip length is between 8 and 9 mm . Whether for use in industry or building installations, our rail-mount through terminal blocks allow you to quickly and securely connect electrical conductors. They’re perfect for either classic through-wiring or distributing potential, depending on the variant. This product incorporates conductor terminals and utilizes CAGE CLAMP®. Our CAGE CLAMP® connection provides a secure and maintenance-free way to connect all types of conductors. You do not need to prepare the conductor in any way, such as crimping ferrules. This through terminal block is suitable for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm².<br/><br/><h3></h3><br/><br/>This through rail-mount terminal block is operated with an operating tool.<br/>
