Wiring the Finger-Safe Terminal Block
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use the stripped end of the wire or a
spade lug. The terminals will accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
2. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.90 Nm (8 lb-in.).
Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque
Each terminal accepts up to two wires with the following restrictions:
TIP Finger-safe cover not shown for clarity.
TIP If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screw driver 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.
