With the thinnest terminal offering, at just 3.5 mm thick, the CP series terminal blocks from Connectwell will be a game changer for equipment manufacturers trying to shrink their cabinet sizes and achieve cost optimisation.

I do see more and more customers shifting to the PUSH-IN connection technology for their wire connection needs. The technology is fairly simple, and quick and tool-free wiring is possible by just pushing the wire inside the terminal block.

Our goal in the design phase was to create a Terminal Block that is easy to use and is highly reliable at the same time. So we ensured that while the force needed to insert the wires in our new CP series PUSH-IN terminal blocks is very low, the product has extremely high wire pull-out force values.

The new CP Series PUSH-IN Terminal blocks can contribute towards tremendous time savings in wiring of cabinets. This series also helps users rethink their cabinet layouts as there will be lot of freed up space.

We have tested our products in compliance to major globally accepted standards such as IEC, UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, etc. But we always take actual in-field scenarios as base guidelines for design. We have seen that due to harsh environment and high vibrations, products experience undue forces at termination and cause unexpected failures at site even though they might be compliant to design standards. Hence we always take customer experiences as a central guideline for development of products. This is the reason why most of our products surpass industry standards - and meet the test of time in the field. One clear example is the pull-out force ratings - we have achieved nearly double the pull-out force values specified by International standards.

These terminal blocks will bring in higher efficiency, and allow dense wiring which couldn’t be achieved with previous generation connection technologies.

I find their compact design and industry leading 3.5 mm thin configurations very special. With the possibility of robotic assembly, CP series terminal blocks are future ready too.

With Industry 4.0, the automation industry will move from just remote sensing and controlling to real time data analysis and real time course correction. Terminal blocks being the first interaction point of all the sensors on the field with the super smart controllers in control centres, any error in connection here may end up with unintended results. Hence, we continue to trust Connectwell for the right connections, and are equipped to serve the next generation of manufacturing lines - where humans will oversee machine interactions and set benchmarks for a new era in efficiency.
