Altech terminal blocks feature screw clamps for maximum wiring efficiency and reliability. The blocks are supplied with open clamps, ready to accept wires. No special wire preparation or wire lugs are required. Simply strip the wire, insert and tighten the screw to the torque for gas-tight, vibration resistant, solid connections. The screw clamp design uses a tin-plated, solid copper or solid brass current bar with grooved serration, a steel cage clamp and screws. As the clamp is tightened, the wire is pressed firmly against the current bar, ensuring positive connections every time. The steel parts are zinc plated and passivated by a golden yellow chromate layer for maximum resistance against oxidation.

The spring clamp series terminal blocks offer a time saving alternative to the popular screw clamp connection. The pre-stressed spring is opened using a tool (screw driver) so the conductor can be inserted into the insertion space through an opening in the spring leg. The conductor is pulled against the current bar under spring force when the tool is removed.

A high contact force is acheived by the design of the spring clamp system. The design delivers a secure and reliable connection for any application.

Altech's Eurostrips are safe, economical and meet worldwide standards. They are a cost-effective alternative to barrier strips that require labor-intensive wire lugs and they reduce the number of electrical connections in circuits. Eurostrips feature tubular screw clamps, wire protectors, and are ready for immediate wire hookup. Eurostrips are ideal in small spaces, which means more room for other components or reduced enclosure size. Free float or mount them onto any panel. They are available in easy-to-cut 12-pole strips or pre-cut.

Feed-Through Eurostrips are supplied with wire protectors. Offered with flat bases or standoff feet, they are molded of self-extinguishing polyamide. Custom imprinting and marking plates are available.

The heart of the Altech philosophy is the standardized DIN Rail and snap-on terminal block. The DIN Rail makes possible a compact, organized arrangement of terminal blocks and other DIN Rail mount components. This gives more than just the appearance of quality; it saves time and space, enhances design capabilities and provides a centralized connect-disconnect area where external and/or internal wiring can be connected quickly and efficiently. At the same time, the DIN concept allows designers to take advantage of constant advances in terminal block technology. Altech DIN Rail components do more than terminate wires. They distribute power and ground, protect against overloads and perform a host of other sophisticated functions. Whatever the application: control systems, instrumentation, automation-DIN Rail terminal blocks can help you create it and keep it as up-to-date as tomorrow.

Make terminal assemblies look professional while increasing wiring efficiency and facilitating troubleshooting. Marking systems can be used to mark terminal block tags, wire markers, shrink tubing, labels and signs. These universal plotters can be used to print many different manufactures products such as ABB, Allen Bradley, ContaClip, Entrelec, Phoenix, Wago, Weidmuller, Wieland and more. PC software is used in conjunction with special fixtures to make production quality imprints on the VP500 plotter. The VS200 plotter is a self contained portable unit to print the same items on the go.

Suitable for use in high temperature applications up to 600°C (1112°F). Applications include hot melt glue guns, furnaces, heaters, process equipment and machinery. Terminal blocks are offered with mounting holes for panel mounting or free floating applications.

To help you do the best job possible when using Altech's terminal blocks, we put together a selection of useful tools to accomplish just that. We offer this as a service to our customers, since some of the special tools we offer are hard to find. Included in this tool selection are wire strippers to safely and quickly remove insulation from wire and cable and to speed the wire preparation process; semi-automatic and hand operated crimping tools for crimping ferrules onto wire ends.

Our large selection of screwdrivers include insulated and uninsulated straight blade, flat tip and Phillips types. All tools are made from the highest quality steels for superior performance and long life. The hand tools are manufactured to exacting specifications and carefully heat treated for maximum strength and durability.

To put the finishing touch on your application, we offer an extensive selection of useful accessories to build and install DIN Rail terminal block assemblies and to facilitate factory and field wiring. Accessories include end stops, end plates and partitions. Also offered are DIN Rails, ferrules, jumpers and more. From design to commissioning and operation, Altech accessories help you do the job better.
