CONTA-CLIP
Triple deck terminals - IKD 2.5mm²/VMAK
IKD, VMAK
The IKD 2.5/Q triple‑deck DIN‑rail terminal block from CONTA‑CLIP (also known as VMAK 2.5) is a compact, space-saving module optimised for high-density wiring schemes. With a 5 mm width and 84.8 mm length (for 3‑pole), it provides three stacked screw-connection layers, each accommodating a 2.5 mm² conductor (22–14 AWG). The block taps M2.5 slotted screws (torque 0.4–0.8 Nm) and requires a 7 mm stripping length, ensuring secure connections under up to 250 V (IEC) and 24 A (CSA), at operating temperatures from –40 °C to +105 °C. The polyamide 6.6 housing meets UL94‑V2 flame resistance, while snap‑on feet fit both TS35/7.5 and TS32 rails. Options include variants for feed-through, protective earth (PE), and plug-in connectors, along with accessories like end plates, cross-connectors, test sockets, and jumper rails to streamline installation.
In practical applications, IKD 2.5/Q triple‑deck terminals are ideal for control cabinets, automation systems, and signal distribution panels where conductor layering, circuit segmentation, and test access are crucial—but panel real estate is limited. Their stacked design handles multiple circuits (e.g., supply, signal, and return) in just one block, reducing wiring clutter and simplifying maintenance. The blocks' compatibility with jumpers and test plugs makes them well-suited for modular test setups and diagnostic paths, while the UL/CSA/IEC approvals ensure compliance in industrial and commercial environments. Overall, the IKD series offers a robust, flexible solution for high-density, multi-level wiring needs.Â
