Wire the Finger-safe
Terminal Block

When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.

1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.

2. Begin wiring at the bottom of the terminal block and move up.

3. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate.

You can use the bare wire or a spade lug. The terminals accept a
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.

4. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate

secures the wire.

Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is
0.68 N•m (6 lb•in).

Upper Retaining Screw

Lower Retaining Screw

TIP

The terminal screws are non-captive. Therefore, it is possible to
use a ring lug (maximum 1/4 in. o.d. with a 0.139 in. minimum
i.d. (M3.5)) with the module.

TIP

If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screwdriver
into one of the square, wiring holes and gently pry the cover off.
If you wire the terminal block with the finger-safe cover
removed, you will not be able to put it back on the terminal
block because the wires will be in the way.
