Insulation Displacement Terminals
Introduction
The insulation displacement series stands out with its IDC rotary
connection. This concept saves considerable space in the control
cabinet without impairing other quality features, such as
• Large surface marking,
• Maximum connection compartment,
• Flexible connecting combs.
Conductors from 0.25 to 2.5 mm² are connected by the insulation
displacement contact. High-grade special alloys and latching
of the switch states ensure reliable electrical connections at
all times. Large, spring-loaded contact points guarantee a current
load rating of 24 A.

Time savings of 60 % and more compared to other connection
systems.
With the high-speed insulation displacement terminal system,
there is no need to strip the insulation or protect the splice. Just
cut the cables to length and they can be contacted in seconds.
When feeding in large cross-sections, the reducing comb enables
time and cost-saving distribution of the potential. The reducing
comb can be used to connect a 10 mm² spring-loaded
through-type terminal with an insulation displacement throughtype
terminal for terminal size 1.5 mm² and two clamping points
or an insulation displacement through-type terminal for terminal
size 2.5 mm² and two clamping points.
