1088704

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1088704 is a knife disconnect terminal block belonging to the CLIPLINE PTV series. It features a 2-position configuration with a blue housing made of polyamide (PA) nylon, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. The terminal utilizes push-in spring connection technology and supports wire gauges from 10-26 AWG (0.2-6 mm²). Rated current is 20 A under IEC standards and 16 A under UL standards, with voltage ratings of 500 V IEC and 600 V UL. It has a pitch width of 6.2 mm and a stripping length of 9-11 mm.

Feature Summary

• Knife disconnect mechanism allows for switching or disconnection without load or voltage.
• Push-in spring connection technology enables tool-free wiring installation.
• Polyamide insulation material provides robust mechanical stability and flame resistance.

Applications

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• DIN rail mounting systems
• Signal distribution in automation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific product datasheet for the exact technical specifications before integration. Confirm that the application environment matches the rated voltage and current limits. Ensure compatibility with the intended DIN rail mounting system. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Validate wire gauge ranges against the actual conductors used in the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, tool-free connection method is required for DIN rail applications. The knife disconnect feature is suitable for circuits requiring isolation without de-energizing the entire system. Consider the 6.2 mm pitch for space-constrained layouts. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the polyamide material properties.

Part Context

This terminal block is part of the CLIPLINE PTV series, designed for reliable signal and power distribution in industrial environments. The series emphasizes ease of installation through spring connection technology. It is commonly used in automation and control panels where frequent maintenance or circuit modification may be necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Part number 1088741 is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute within the same manufacturer's portfolio. Verify electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
