6PCV-20-006

Barrier Blocks are an essential piece of terminal block technology used in a wide variety of process control applications. The 6PCV-20-06 is the product line of barrier blocks by Phoenix Contact, a German engineering group specializing in industrial terminal blocks and automation technology solutions. This particular model offers a user-friendly design, with a one-piece, easy-to-install mounting base that eliminates clamps, screws, and other hardware. It provides a secure connection and reliable operation in a highly ruggedized product that ensures long-term durability.

The 6PCV-20-06 provides a solution for applications across many different industries, including industrial automation, instrumentation, energy, motion control, and instrumentation & control, where power distribution is a necessary requirement. In addition, it is compatible with most industry-standard terminal strips, including 12mm or 16mm Euro-style grid strips, ribbon cable, DIN rail, and punch down connectors. Its fast, easy installation further increases installation efficiency in order to decrease the time and costs associated with wiring.

Working Principle

The 6PCV-20-06 products feature two terminal blocks, one ground connection, and one overcurrent connection. The ground connection creates a secure connection between the power supply and the electrical device. The overcurrent connection is designed to monitor for excessive loads in order to allow for safe operation of both the device itself and the power supply. Both of these connections provide power distribution for the device, as well as ensuring a safe workplace.

The 6PCV-20-06 utilizes Phoenix Contact’s patented barrier technology to provide a reliable, secure connection that can handle any type of load. It includes an integrated circuit board that contains a snap-in ferrule for easy insertion of the wire into the block. This circuit board also contains a PTC-type (Thermistor) that detects a temperature difference between the block and the wire, which can be used to provide statistics in the event of an overcurrent situation. This makes it ideal for applications requiring surge protection.

The 6PCV-20-06 is designed to be mounted onto a printed circuit board, making it easy to install and maintain. It also features built-in anti-rotation and strain relief clamps that provide a secure, vibration-free connection. The terminal is rated for 35 A, which makes it suitable for use in applications involving 220V AC or 6A DC. It also contains a universal track strip for easy wiring and repair.

The 6PCV-20-06 easily fits into any application involving power distribution and control. With its superior design and fast installation, it provides streamlined and efficient operation in both commercial and domestic settings. The built-in overcurrent protection ensures safe operation of the device while also providing route redundancy in case of failure. This makes it the perfect choice for any application requiring reliable power distribution.
