Product Information
Full details
The Phoenix Contact UK 10-DREHSILED 24 (5X20) is a robust fuse terminal block designed for industrial professionals who require reliable circuit protection and quick status identification. It is ideal for control cabinet installations where DIN rail mounting is required, offering a clear visual signal via a built-in LED to immediately identify tripped fuses. While its 12 mm width provides generous space for larger wire gauges, users should ensure their cabinet layout accounts for the specific depth requirements of this unit.

Does the LED indicate a tripped fuse?
Yes, the integrated LED is designed to signal a defect or blown fuse status.
What is the maximum wire size I can connect?
This terminal supports conductors with a cross-section up to 16 mm².
Is the unit resistant to high temperatures?

Troubleshooting
LED indicator fails to light up when power is applied
Verify that the fuse is correctly seated and intact, and check that the supply voltage is reaching the terminal block terminals.
Connection feels loose after installation
Ensure the screw terminal has been tightened to the correct torque specification for the conductor size being used.
Fuse is difficult to insert or remove
Ensure you are using the correct 5 x 20 mm fuse form factor and that the screw cap is not cross-threaded during replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated LED light provides instant status reporting
- Wide range of conductor cross-section support (0.5 to 16 mm²)
- Secure screw-clamp connection for stable electrical contact
- Clear viewing window simplifies physical inspection
- High operating temperature threshold ensures durability
Cons
- Requires manual screw tightening for each connection
- Larger 12 mm width consumes more DIN rail space than standard terminals
- Specific to 5 x 20 mm fuse sizes only
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, snap the terminal block onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail until it clicks into place. Strip the insulation from your wire—ensuring the gauge is between 0.5 and 16 mm²—and insert it into the screw terminal, tightening firmly to the specified torque. When inserting a 5 x 20 mm fuse, ensure the cap is fully threaded to maintain the integrity of the connection. For maintenance, periodically check the screw terminals for tightness, as thermal cycling can sometimes cause connections to back off slightly over long periods. Keep the viewing window free of dust and debris to ensure the LED indicator remains visible.
