FAQs
What is the purpose of a fixed bridge?
A fixed bridge is used to create a permanent electrical connection between multiple terminal blocks, simplifying wiring for power or signal distribution.
What does '8.2mm pitch' mean?
The pitch refers to the spacing between the centers of adjacent terminal positions on the block. An 8.2mm pitch indicates the distance between these connection points.
Is this bridge compatible with any terminal block?
No, this bridge is specifically designed for terminal blocks with an 8.2mm pitch. Compatibility with other pitches is not guaranteed.
How many bridges are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual fixed bridges.
What are the benefits of the screw-type connection?
Screw-type connections offer a robust, vibration-resistant, and reliable electrical contact that is easy to secure and maintain.
Does this bridge offer any safety features?
Yes, it is insulated and designed with shock protection to enhance user safety during installation and operation.
Can I cut this bridge to a shorter length?
No, this is a fixed bridge and is not designed to be cut. It is intended for use with the specified number of positions (10).
Troubleshooting
Bridge not making proper contact
Ensure the bridge is fully seated in the terminal block slots and the screw terminals are tightened securely. Verify that the terminal blocks have an 8.2mm pitch.
Loose connection after installation
Re-tighten the screw terminals using an appropriate screwdriver. Check for any damage to the bridge or terminal block contacts.
Difficulty inserting the bridge
Confirm that the terminal blocks are indeed designed for an 8.2mm pitch and are properly aligned. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the insertion points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the terminal blocks are designed for an 8.2mm pitch.
- Isolate power to the terminal block area before installation.
- Insert the fixed bridge into the designated slots on the terminal blocks.
- Secure the bridge using the integrated screw terminals. Use an appropriate screwdriver to tighten.
