At its core is a unique brass clamp cage—a feature that secures wires more tightly than standard screw terminals, preventing vibration-induced loosening. With a 5.08mm center space, 300V rating, and -40℃ to 105℃ temperature range, it maintains compatibility with standard PCB layouts while delivering enhanced performance. Constructed with UL94 V-0 PA66 insulation and M3 steel screws, it meets global safety standards for industrial, commercial, and medical equipment. Whether used in automation sensors or medical devices, the FP 2.5-5.08-00-XX prioritizes stability and current capacity.
18A Rating: Outperforms the EMD series by 3A, making it suitable for medium-power devices (e.g., 24V DC pumps, industrial fans) that require higher current without upgrading to a heavy-duty terminal.
Brass Clamp Cage: A dedicated brass clamping mechanism wraps around the wire, distributing pressure evenly and preventing slippage—critical for applications with vibration (e.g., conveyor belts or automotive sensors).
30–12 AWG Range: Accommodates thinner signal wires (30 AWG for sensors) and thicker power wires (12 AWG for small motors). This eliminates the need for multiple terminal blocks in systems with mixed wire sizes.
UL94 V-0 Insulation: PA66 insulation is flame-retardant, self-extinguishing, and resistant to heat and chemicals—essential for medical and industrial environments where safety is paramount.
M3 Steel Screws: Offer high tensile strength and rust resistance, requiring 5 lbf·in of torque for secure installation. The screws work with the clamp cage to create a reliable connection.
Pole Customization: Supports 2P, 3P, or custom pole counts, with total length (L) calculated as L = P × N (where P = 5.08mm, the center space). This allows adaptation to multi-circuit systems (e.g., a control panel with 3 sensors and 1 power line).
Modular Components: Features removable end caps and a split wire clamp body, simplifying maintenance and reconfiguration of circuits.
Medical Equipment: Used in diagnostic devices (e.g., ultrasound machines) and patient monitors. The clamp cage ensures stable connections for sensitive signals, while flame retardancy meets medical safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601).
Industrial Automation: Integrates into sensor arrays (e.g., proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors) and small motor drives. The 18A rating handles motor startup currents, while vibration resistance prevents loose connections.
Telecommunications: Suitable for network routers, server racks, and data center power distribution. The 30–12 AWG range supports both signal cables (Ethernet) and power cables for servers.
24V DC industrial fans (1–2A) and pumps (3–5A) that require a buffer for startup currents.
Medical diagnostic equipment (e.g., blood pressure monitors) that needs stable signal transmission.
Commercial HVAC controls (e.g., thermostat modules) where temperature fluctuations are common.
The brass clamp cage distributes clamping pressure evenly across the wire, preventing damage to the conductor and ensuring a tight connection that resists vibration. Unlike standard screws (which press on one point), the cage wraps around the wire for maximum contact.
The higher rating is due to the clamp cage’s improved contact area and the terminal’s internal design, which reduces resistance. This allows it to handle more current without overheating—ideal for devices with moderate power demands.
Yes. It meets UL94 V-0 flame retardancy and has a stable temperature range (-40℃ to 105℃), complying with medical safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601). The clamp cage also ensures reliable signal transmission for diagnostic equipment.
For 4P (4-pole), L = P × N, where P = 5.08mm (center space) and N = 4 (poles). Thus, L = 5.08mm × 4 = 20.32mm. Ensure your equipment has at least 20.32mm of space for installation.
Yes. The FP 2.5-5.08-00-XX has modular components, including the brass clamp cage. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts, and follow the installation guide to swap the cage without replacing the entire terminal block.
