FAQs

What does the 5.2mm pitch refer to?

The 5.2mm pitch refers to the spacing between the centers of adjacent terminal positions on the compatible terminal blocks, ensuring a proper fit for the jumper bar.

Can this jumper bar be used with terminal blocks from other brands?

While it might physically fit, it is specifically designed and tested for Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE Series terminal blocks with a 5.2mm pitch. Using it with other brands is not recommended and may void warranties or lead to unreliable connections.

What is the maximum number of terminal blocks this specific jumper (FBS 3-5) can bridge?

The FBS 3-5 model is designed to bridge three (3) terminal blocks.

Is this jumper bar suitable for high-vibration environments?

Yes, the plug-in design creates a secure connection that is generally robust against vibration, provided it is properly installed.

What is the purpose of the red color?

The red color serves as a visual indicator for identification and also signifies that the component is insulated and includes shock protection.

How are these jumper bars typically packaged?

This model (3030174) is typically supplied in a pack containing 50 pieces.

Troubleshooting

Jumper bar does not click into place

Ensure you are using a compatible terminal block with the correct 5.2mm pitch. Verify that no debris is obstructing the terminal block's bridge shafts.

Intermittent connection or poor conductivity

Check that the jumper bar is fully seated. Inspect the contacts for any damage or contamination. Ensure the connected terminal blocks are properly crimped and secured.

Overheating during operation

Verify that the current load does not exceed the jumper bar's rated current of 24A. Ensure all connections are tight and the terminal blocks are adequately sized for the application.
