MCT-24

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

The MCT-24 terminal block is a technological breakthrough in connection and installation systems used in automation and process control applications. It is designed to provide excellent reliability, minimal space utilization, and ease of installation dispensing with elaborate tools and wiring procedures. The MCT-24 offers users a number of significant benefits to simplify installation and reduce downtime.

Applications & Benefits

The MCT-24 terminal block can be used in a number of automation and process control applications, such as temperature, pressure, and level control. It can also be used in machine building, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and signal isolation systems. The MCT-24 is particularly suitable for applications that require high density, versatility, and a wide range of solutions.

Compared to traditional terminal blocks, the MCT-24 system offers a number of benefits. It enables easier and faster wiring due to its pluggable connection technology; significantly saves horizontal space within the panel since it is organized in two rows; and allows a greater number of connections in less space. Additionally, the superior leverage wedge technology enables reliable contacts even in difficult environmental conditions. This also eliminates the need to pre-terminate wires, simplifying and speeding up the installation process.

Working Principle

The MCT-24 system works with three components: a terminal block, a terminal set (or basic unit), and a jumper. The terminal blocks consist of several screw clamp connections that connect the different types of conductors to their respective terminals. The terminal set includes the essential components (i.e. terminal block base, terminals, and clamps) which form the basic element of the system. The jumper is used to interconnect two or more terminal blocks electrically in a simple and robust way.

The installation of a MCT-24 system is very straightforward and easy. First, the required number of terminal blocks and sets are selected and connected to the panel with screws. Then, the wires are secured to the terminal clamps. After that, the isolation and connection of the wires is done simultaneously by plugging in the jumper into the required terminals. Finally, the connection is checked to verify the working parameters.

Conclusion

The MCT-24 terminal block system is a versatile and efficient system designed to meet the needs of modern automation and process control applications. Its high density, improved connectivity, and robust construction provide an ideal solution for challenging environments, while its quick installation capability reduces downtime and speeds up the overall installation process. Therefore, the MCT-24 system can be the ideal choice in many applications that require a reliable and efficient connection solution.
