Push-In Relay Test - Lifting Free Weights - Phoenix Contact

PLC PT Relays equipped with our leg spring, push-in termination technology have a reliable, long-lasting connection ideal for high-vibration applications. The retention force is five times the IEC requirement. Terminations are made by simply pushing the wire into the PT terminal, using very little force. No specialized tools are required, which helps reduce installation time and costs. The PT relays ensure faster wiring, up to 60% faster than the screw termination style. To disconnect the wire, simply insert a screwdriver into the orange release key, push and release the wire. Our push-in technology creates a high degree of usability and includes a wide range of connections; from 26 AWG to 14 AWG wire sizes.

We have created a series of videos, putting this push-in termination technology to the test. In this video, you can see us using our PT relays to lift free weights. This test helps to prove that our PLC PT relays can stand up to retention force and offer a reliable, long-lasting connections with no backing out.
