The XB Series of IEC Terminal Blocks from Eaton's
electrical business offers a full line of terminal
blocks complete with universal accessories across
three connection technologies, screw, spring cage
and Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC),
reducing inventory and logistic costs.
Eaton now also
offers custom rail assemblies along with ECHART
Rail Assembly Software, which allows you to build
your custom rail assembly and provides
dimensionally accurate drawings.
Application Description
XB Series terminal blocks contain high-grade,
strain-crack and corrosion proof copper alloys to
prevent electrolytic corrosion and rusting. The
metal surfaces are protected with a lead-free,
galvanic nickel or tin plating. The electrical
conductivity permits only a low temperature rise.

The XBUT Series utilizes a screw connection system
that is accepted worldwide and is suitable in most
applications. The maintenance-free connection
provides the reliability you expect from Eaton.
Application Description
The screw locking maintenance-free design prevents
the screws from backing out so tightening of the
terminal screws is not necessary to ensure proper
operation. Copper wires can be clamped without
pre-treatment or ferrules can be used for splicing
protection. Multiple conductors can be connected
in the same clamping mechanism, saving space.

The XBPT Series
incorporates a spring cage connection system for
use in applications that are sensitive to
vibration. The spring mechanism exerts a constant
force on the wire, resulting in a vibration-proof,
gas-tight connection. The front connection design
allows the screwdriver and wire to enter from the
same direction, allowing wiring in tight spaces.
Application Description
The connection point is opened with a standard
screwdriver. After a stripped wire is inserted,
the screwdriver releases the spring and a secure
connection is made. Spring cage terminal blocks
offer a large insertion space so that wires with
ferrules can also be inserted.

The pluggable spring
cage connection terminal blocks allow signal and
power wiring to be made pluggable. This complete
pluggable system has a patented spring that
provides maximum connection space in a
space-saving design. The pluggable system
accommodates stranded conductors with a nominal
cross-section of 2.5 mm², with or without
ferrules.
Application Description
For applications requiring pluggable wiring up to
a rated current of 32A and a rated voltage of
800V. The integrated overspring meets the most
stringent vibration requirements. Also ideal where
safety is a concern and flexibility is required.
The basic terminal blocks and the plugs are
finger-safe which also means the supply voltage
can be input via either the terminal blocks or the
plugs. With the XBAPSC receptacles, plug-in
contacts can be accommodated safely in cable ducts
and distributor shafts using minimal space. A test
hole can accommodate a 2.3 mm diameter test plug
in each receptacle, providing a practical
solution. The XBAPSP plugs are intended for
connecting one wire while the XBAPSPDB plugs are
designed to connect two wires and an optional
bridge.
Features
- Space-saving
design
- Powerful contact
- Finger-safe
The XBQT Series terminal blocks reduce wiring
installation time and labor, especially in
high-volume applications. The XBQT Series allows
for wire to be connected without stripping. The
quick connection provides up to 60% reduction in
wiring time. One turn of a standard screwdriver
results in a simple, fast, and reliable
connection. IDC terminal blocks are suited for
applications in automated equipment and machine
tools, packaging and material handling machinery,
railway and mass-transit systems, petrochemical,
and other applications requiring high-volume
connections for low-voltage control and signal
circuitry where labor cost reduction and ease of
assembly is desired. These terminal blocks are
designed for long-term use under demanding
conditions.
Application Description
The XBQT Series is operated with a standard
screwdriver. The switching states are clearly
signaled by engagement points in the start and end
positions. Solid and stranded wires of 0.25 to
2.5 mm² can be wired without the use of ferrules.
Stripping the wire is not required. The insulation
is cut open within the terminal block when it is
properly connected. The wire is securely placed in
the end position where it makes large-area,
gas-tight contact.

The XBM Miniature Series terminal blocks have a
connection cross-section of 1.5 mm² and mount on
15 mm DIN rail. There is an opening for bridging
with a fixed bridge in the center of the terminal
block. These miniature terminal blocks are
compatible with the same accessories as the larger
terminal blocks, including marking tags, end
covers, end stop and ground blocks.
The XB Series thermal miniature circuit
breaker offers convenient overload protection.
This space-saving single-pole circuit breaker,
available up to 10 Amps, can be inserted into a
basic terminal block, XBUK6FSI, which is available
with or without light indication. The XBATCP
combines the re-closing capability of a circuit
breaker with the overload protection of a fuse.
The integrated switching function makes it
possible to switch the circuit breaker back on
immediately, guaranteeing system availability. The
device can also be used for switching purposes.
The plug-in design allows for quick and efficient
replacement.
