  • Incoming terminal block of distribution box

    Incoming terminal block of distribution box

    A distribution terminal block takes one incoming power feed and divides it into multiple independent output circuits through a shared copper busbar. It is the modular, finger-safe alternative to open copper busbar systems used in industrial panels since the 1950s. The FIX blocks can be used straight away and extended as needed. They are one-pole modular units with an interlocking dovetail feature that enables ganging of the blocks to create multi-pole configurations according to application requirements.
