Device description

Push-In Connector

Spring push-in connector allowing direct insertion of a prepared conductor without a separate lever or screw clamp.

A push-in connector locks the conductor automatically by means of an internal spring element as the conductor is inserted into the termination point.

Push-in technology reduces installation time and the number of manual operations, making it suitable for high-volume wiring and prefabricated distribution assemblies.

Most designs require the conductor to be stripped to a specified length in advance. Whether the conductor can be removed and the connector reused depends on the specific construction and spring-release method.

Selection should verify conductor types and classes, minimum and maximum cross-section or diameter, number of connection points, rated current and voltage, stripping length and declared certifications.
