CABLE CONNECTION METHOD
Fig. 1: cage clamp connectors
The cage clamp PCB terminal block is a
• Use only cable between 0.08 and 2.5 mm²
• Strip the cable to a length of 5 to 6 mm (0.23 in) The correct method of attachment is as follows:
1. Press down the relevant terminal block lever with a suitable screwdriver;
2. Insert wire;
3. Remove screwdriver.
The procedure for detaching wires is the reverse of the 3 attachment steps, ensuring that power is disconnected before starting.
